This book describes those CICSPlex® SM MVS/TSO ISPF end user interface (EUI) view commands that support day-to-day operation and management of the CICS resources in an enterprise. It is intended for CICS operators who are responsible for running CICS-supplied transactions, such as the CICS Master Terminal Transaction (CEMT), to manage CICS resources.
The CICSPlex SM views mirror the functionality currently provided for CICS® systems. In other words, operators can work in essentially the same way as they do now without any change in their basic approach to daily system activities. The greatest benefit of the CICSPlex SM views, however, is that they can be used to control the operation of multiple CICS systems and their resources from a single session, as if they were a single CICS system.
The view commands consist of a set of operations views used to control CICS resources, a largely matching set of monitor views used to monitor resources, and sets of definition views used to manage CICSPlex SM definitions while they are active in a CICSplex.
The operations view commands are described in this book. The monitor view commands are described in CICSPlex SM Monitor Views Reference; the CICSPlex SM definitions are described in the relevant CICSPlex SM book: CICSPlex SM Managing Workloads, CICSPlex SM Managing Resource Usage, and CICSPlex SM Managing Business Applications.
View commands are available using the EUI and the Web User Interface. This book describes ISPF end user interface views in detail. In CICS Transaction Server for z/OS®, Version 3 Release 1 some operations views are available as Web User Interface starter set views only. See Enterprise beans and Tasks for details of these views. Web User Interface views are named EYUSTARTobject, where object is the name of the managed resource.
Examples of how to use the EUI views to perform some typical operations tasks are provided in the appendix.
The view commands used to define the CMAS configuration and topology of a CICSPlex SM environment are described in CICSPlex SM Administration and CICSPlex SM Administration. Guidance on using the CICSPlex SM ISPF end-user interface is provided in the CICSPlex SM User Interface Guide Guidance on using the CICSPlex SM Web User interface is provided in the CICSPlex SM Web User Interface Guide.
