1 VSAM file sharing
This option is used to specify whether the Collector is to save the dependency and affinity data for all monitored CICS regions to a single set of VSAM files that you have shared between regions using either VSAM RLS or function shipping, or to multiple separate, region-specific, sets of files. Type Y or N. The default is N (No), data will be saved in separate sets of files.
To control the operation of multiple instances of the Collector, running on different regions, from a single CICS terminal, set this option to Y.
2 Terminate on Abend
This option is used to specify whether the Collector is terminated with an IUZT abend when an error occurs when CICS IA queries DB2®. Type Y or N.
3 High Level Trace
This option is used to specify whether the high-level trace is to be turned on for the Collector. Type 1, 2, or 3 to specify which level of trace points you want to collect, or type N to turn off this option. The default is N (No), trace is turned off.
- The points of level 1 are included in CICS IA modules at the entry and exit of a module.
- The points of level 2 are included in CICS IA® modules in all other cases.
- The points of level 3 are included in GLUE or TRUE.
You can set this levels through the CINT transaction.
