Calculating the resource data space

There is one table used to capture the CICS® resource data.

About this task

To collect the CICS resource data:

Procedure

  1. Estimate the number of each of the following resources used in the CICS region:
    • File resources. Call this number NUM_CICS_FILE.
    • Program resources. Call this number NUM_CICS_PROG.
    • Transaction resources. Call this number NUM_CICS_TRAN.
    • Transient Data Queue resources. Call this number NUM_CICS_TDQ.
    • Temporary Storage Queue resources. Call this number NUM_CICS_TSQ.
    • Web services resources. Call this number NUM_CICS_WEBS
    • TRUE and GLUE exits. Call this number NUM_CICS_EXIT
  2. Calculate the CICS data space:
    (NUM_CICS_FILE +
     NUM_CICS_PROG +         
     NUM_CICS_TRAN +         
     NUM_CICS_TDQ +         
     NUM_CICS_TSQ +          
     NUM_CICS_WEBS +         
     NUM_CICS_EXIT) * 165  =  CICS_RES_DS bytes
