MREMTRAN - Monitor remote transactions

The MREMTRAN view shows general information about monitored remote transactions. Remote transactions are transactions that are defined to the local CICS® system, but reside in another CICS system. For a dynamic transaction, the remote name and system ID reflect where the transaction is running.

Note:
In order to alter performance record processing for long-running tasks, CICS/ESA 4.1 has added parameters for the SIT (MCONV, MNFREQ, and MNSYNC), and new operands for the SET MONITOR command (CONVERSEST, FREQUENCY, FREQUENCYHRS, FREQUENCYMIN, FREQUENCYSEC, and SYNCPOINTST). These changes may result in performance records being written for a task before it ends. If these options are used, CICSPlex® SM reports the occurrence of these multiple performance records as being multiple executions of the transaction under which the task is being executed.

Availability

The MREMTRAN view is available for all managed CICS systems except CICS for Windows.

Access

Issue command:
MREMTRAN [tran [rem-tran]]

tran
Is the specific or generic name of a currently installed remote transaction that is being monitored, or * for all monitored remote transactions.

rem-tran
Is the specific or generic name of a remote transaction as known to the CICS system where the transaction resides. Use this parameter to find out what CICS systems have a particular transaction defined as remote and what names they know it by.

If you do not specify parameters, the view includes information about all monitored remote transactions within the current scope.

Select:
TRANS from the MONITOR menu and MREMTRAN from the TRANS submenu.
