Obsolete administrative functions

Top  Previous  Next

XADM is a suite of administration functions provioded in XFRAME 3.x and used to display the XCICS activity or to perform special functions during the execution of an XCICS session. All functions are performed interactively, by means of administration's reserved transactions executed during the XCICS session

Configuration

In order to make use of XADM transactions inside XCICS, they must be correctly set up. The following include must be defined in the configuration file:

include $XFRAMEHOME/etc/xadm.conf

Then the XADM programs must be related to corresponding transaction names and operator security information:

define transaction code=XSSN, program=xssn    , twa=512, protection=64;
define transaction code=SHUT, program=xshut   , twa=512, protection=01;
define transaction code=XHUP, program=xreload , twa=512, protection=01;
define transaction code=XADM, program=xadm    , twa=512, protection=01;
define transaction code=XQUE, program=xque    , twa=512, protection=01;
define transaction code=XDBG, program=xdbg    , twa=512, protection=01;
define transaction code=XEND, program=XPFO    , twa=512, protection=01;
define transaction code=XFIL, program=xfile   , twa=512, protection=01;
define transaction code=XNCP, program=xncp    , twa=512, protection=01;
define transaction code=XST1, program=xstat01 , twa=512, protection=01;
define transaction code=XSTC, program=xstconn , twa=512, protection=01;
define transaction code=XST2, program=xstat02 , twa=512, protection=01;
define transaction code=XSTM, program=xstat   , twa=512, protection=01;
define transaction code=XTCT, program=xtct    , twa=512, protection=01;
define transaction code=XQBR, program=xqbr    , twa=512, protection=01;
define transaction code=XTDR, program=xtdmenu , twa=512, protection=01;
define transaction code=XTDT, program=xtdtrigg, twa=512, protection=01;
define transaction code=XDB1, program=xtdbr   , twa=512, protection=01;
define transaction code=XDB2, program=xtdb1   , twa=512, protection=01;
define transaction code=XTDR, program=xtdmenu , twa=512, protection=01;
define transaction code=XTDT, program=xtdtrigg, twa=512, protection=01;
define transaction code=XDB1, program=xtdbr   , twa=512, protection=01;
define transaction code=XDB2, program=xtdb1   , twa=512, protection=01;

XADM transaction

The XCICS administration facility comprehends a number of functions useful to control and display normal activity of on-line sessions, and to correct unexpected error situations.

You have also the possibility to open and close dynamically data sets which have been defined for XCICS, or manipulate records, without interrupting other transactions, processing other datasets.

The administration facility can be requested from every authorized user by entering the special transaction code XADM.

Each function can be started by entering its corresponding function code in the selection field. Supported function codes are:

To activate the dataset inquiry/update utility;
To monitor terminal activities;
To obtain current session overviews;
to load a fresh copy of mapsets;
To modify the debugging levels for XCICS /XVSAM;
To open and close datasets dynamically;

The usage of all available function keys will be explained for each map. In general PF3 is used to exit or return to the previous menu.

XSSN transaction

XSSN allows to sign on and sign off in the XCICS application.

If an external password file has been provided to XCICS, user may use XSSN to change their password.

XQBR transaction

XQBR allows to browse the Temporary Storage queues actually present in the system

XTDR transaction

XTDR allows to browse, edit and set trigger level Transient Data queues defined in the system

XQUE transaction

XTDR allows to easily monitor the status of XCICS diplaying :

engine occupation
wait queue length
average trx response time
average and maximum wait queue length & time
