Use the Multiple Systems Coupling Physical Links attributes to create table views, charts, and situations that monitor MSC physical link characteristics.
Active Sessions The number of sessions currently active for a Multiple Systems Coupling (MSC) physical link. Valid format is an integer in the range 0 - 99,999,999.
Buffer Size The size of a Multiple Systems Coupling (MSC) buffer. Valid format is an integer in the range 0 - 99,999 bytes.
IDNAME The IMS Subsystem name. Valid format consists of up to eight alphanumeric characters.
IMSID The IMS Subsystem identifier. Valid format consists of up to four alphanumeric characters. Example: I61A
Maximum Sessions The maximum number of sessions defined to IMS for a Multiple Systems Coupling (MSC) physical link. Valid format is an integer.
MVS System The MVS System Management Facility (SMF) identifier. Valid format consists of up to four alphanumeric characters. Example: SP11
Node or UCB Name The name of a node or unit control block (UCB). Valid format consists of up to eight alphanumeric characters. For a VTAM session, this is the node name of the linked IMS system. For a non-VTAM session, this is the UCB name. Example: IMS510A is the name of a node.
Originating System Identifier Fully identifies the originating IMS subsystem. Valid format consists of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. Example: I91A:SP22:IMS
Physical Link Name The name of a Multiple Systems Coupling (MSC) physical link. Valid format consists of up to eight alphanumeric characters. Example: PLINK1
Physical Link Opened Indicates whether the physical link is currently opened. Valid values include Yes and No.
Physical Link PSTOPPED Indicates whether the physical link is currently in PSTOPPED state. Valid values include Yes and No.
Physical Link Status The current status of a Multiple Systems Coupling (MSC) physical link. Valid values include NOTOPEN (Data control block (DCB) not open) and PSTOPPED (Process stopped).
Queue Count The number of messages that are waiting to be sent on a Multiple Systems Coupling (MSC) link. Valid format is an integer in the range 0 - 999,999.
Receive Count The number of messages that a Multiple Systems Coupling (MSC) link has received. Valid format is an integer in the range 0 - 99,999,999.
Send Count The number of messages a Multiple Systems Coupling (MSC) link has sent. Valid format is an integer in the range 0 - 999,999.
Sysplex Identifier Indicates the originating sysplex for this request. Valid format consists of up to eight alphanumeric characters.
Timestamp The date and time when the monitoring agent retrieved the data. This attribute is intended for logging and reporting data collection times rather than for creating situations. To specify a time of day for monitoring, use attributes from the Universal Time or Local Time groups. See the Tivoli Enterprise Portal help for instructions on specifying timestamp attributes in situations and queries.
Type of Link The type of Multiple Systems Coupling (MSC) link. Valid values include BSC (Binary synchronous), CTC (Channel-to-channel), MTM (Memory-to-memory), N/A (Not applicable), and VTAM (VTAM).
