A timer controls the times and dates at which dependency data, affinity data, or both are collected in a CICS® region.
After the Collector is started, the timer automatically pauses and resumes data collection at specified times. You can override the actions of the timer: see Pausing the collection of data and Resuming the collection of data. However, the timer continues to operate and to pause and resume the collection of data at the specified times.
The timer does not pause or resume data collection exactly on the hour when data is being collected on multiple regions, to minimize contention for shared resources.
If you are editing the DEFAULTS record, you cannot specify a blank for any of the slots.

Notes:
The Hour slots and Month, Day, and Week slots are used to specify whether or not the timer is to be active during this time period and what type of data to collect. When the control file is first created, the system default value for all of the slots is Y (Yes), but you might have modified it since.
