This section describes how you can obtain information about active CICS® systems using the MAS view.
The MAS view shows information about CICS systems that are known to the CICSplex identified as the context.
cmas
Is
the specific or generic name of a CMAS involved in managing the CICSplex. If
you omit this parameter, the view includes information about all CICS systems known
to the CICSplex.
Figure 65 is an example of the MAS view.

Table 43 shows the action commands you can issue from the MAS view when a CICS system is active.
Primary command | Line command | Description |
---|---|---|
n/a | BRO | Browse the attributes of an active CICS system.
The format of the resulting panels is similar to that shown in the panels beginning in topic Updating an active MAS. None of the fields in these panels are modifiable. |
n/a | STO | Stop MAS agent code within an active CICS system.
To restart the MAS agent code in a currently running CICS system, issue the CICS transaction:
![]() ![]() Note:
When the WLM Act field for a CICS system contains YES,
you may not be able to stop the MAS agent code. If the CICS system is acting as
a requesting region, or, for enterprise beans, a routing region, with a dynamic routing
program of EYU9XLOP, you cannot stop the MAS agent code. (You can use the
WLMAWTOR view to determine which CICS systems are acting as either requesting regions or,
for enterprise beans, routing regions.)
If you want to stop the MAS agent code in a CICS system of this type, you must first change the dynamic routing program to something other than EYU9XLOP. (You can use the CICSRGND view to change the dynamic routing program.) |
n/a | UPD | Temporarily change the attributes of an active CICS system, as described in Updating an active MAS. |
Note:
These action commands are not valid when a CICS system is inactive, as indicated
by the Status field. |
None.
Any changes that you make to a CICS system definition take effect immediately. They remain in effect as long as the CICS system is active or until you change them again.
After entering the update action command, the first of four panels is displayed.

This value must be changed twice a year; once when daylight saving time begins and again when it ends.

For this to occur, the CICS system must be associated with a monitor specification. If it is not, no resource monitoring occurs.
The CICS system is assumed to be a requesting region that is associated with the appropriate workload specification. If the CICS system is not a requesting region or is not associated with a workload specification, no workload management occurs.
If workload management cannot be activated, messages are written to:
