You can pause the collection of dependency or affinity data on a particular region only when the Collector is running on that region.
To pause the collection of data on a specified CICS® region, use one of the methods shown in Table 1. 1
Where used | Command or function key |
---|---|
CINT transaction's Operations Menu, CIU100 | Type 3 against a listed CICS APPLID and press Enter. |
CINT transaction's Operations Menu, CIU100 | If there is more than one CICS region listed on the Operations Menu, you can type “3” against the first CICS APPLID in the list ("ALL") and press Enter to pause the Collector on all the regions. |
3270 terminal | CINT PAUSE 2 |
3270 terminal | CINT PAUSEALL 3 |
Console | F cicsjob, CINT PAUSE 4 |
Console | F cicsjob, CINT PAUSEALL 5 |
Application program | EXEC CICS START TRANSID('CINT') FROM('PAUSE') 6 |
Application program | EXEC CICS START TRANSID('CINT') FROM('PAUSEALL') 7 |
Notes:
1 If you have set up a timer to control the dates and times at which the Collector runs on the specified region, pausing the Collector by any of the methods in Table 1 overrides the action of the timer. However, the timer continues to operate and to pause and resume the collection of data at the specified times. For details of how to set up a timer, see Specifying region-specific options: timers.
2 This command pauses the Collector on the local CICS region; that is, the region to which the 3270 terminal is connected.
3 This command pauses the Collectors on all the monitored CICS regions.
4 cicsjob is the name of your CICS startup job. This job pauses the Collector on the local CICS region.
5 cicsjob is the name of your CICS startup job. This job pauses the Collector on all the monitored CICS regions.
6 This command, issued from a PLTPI program, pauses the Collector on the local CICS region.
7 This command, issued from a PLTPI program on the local CICS region, pauses the Collectors on all the monitored CICS regions.
Using one of the methods listed in Table 1 causes the Collector to stop collecting data until you are ready to resume. The data already collected remains in the data space, and is saved to the dependency data or affinity data VSAM files if that option has been set. (You can specify that data be saved when the Collector is paused on the Regional Resource Options screen, as described in Specifying region-specific options: general.)
