Files

The file views show information about CICS® files within the current context and scope. Information is available about local shared resource (LSR) pools, and for all types of CICS files, including local and remote files, and files that have CICS- or user-maintained data tables, or coupling facility data tables, associated with them.

Notes:
  1. The information provided in file views can vary depending on when you issue the view command. If a file is closed, for example, much of the information reflects the state the file will be in the next time it is opened. If a file has never been opened, some information is not available, so you receive default or null values; these values may change once the file is opened.
  2. The term data table file is used in this section to mean a file that has a CICS- or user-maintained data table, or coupling facility data table, associated with it.

For details on defining the resources that CICSPlex SM is to monitor, see the discussion of resource monitoring in CICSPlex SM Managing Resource Usage.
