Multiple Systems Coupling Logical Links attributes

Use the Multiple Systems Coupling Logical Links attributes to create table views, charts, and situations that monitor MSC logical link characteristics.

Active Mode Table The name of the currently active VTAM session table that controls the VTAM session parameters. Valid format consists of up to eight alphanumeric characters. Example: MODETAB1

Bandwidth Mode Indicates whether Bandwith Mode is ON (Y) or OFF (N). This attribute applies only to IMS v10 and above environments.

Default Mode Table The name of the default VTAM session table that controls the VTAM session parameters. Valid format consists of up to eight alphanumeric characters. Example: MODETAB1

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 eight alphanumeric characters. Example: I61A

Link Number The number that IMS associates with a Multiple Systems Coupling (MSC) logical link. Valid format is an integer.

Link Partner A user-defined identifier that associates a Multiple Systems Coupling (MSC) logical link with its partner on a different IMS system. Valid format consists of up to two alphanumeric characters. Example: AA

Logical Link Active Indicates whether the logical link is active. Valid values include Yes and No.

Logical Link Active Setting Indicates the setting of an active logical link. Valid values include Inactive, Primary, Secondary, and Unknown.

Logical Link Assigned Indicates whether the not assigned status is set. Valid values include Yes and No.

Logical Link AutoRecon Indicates the status of automatic session reconnect for the logical link. Valid values include AutoSessRecon, Continuous, and N/A.

Logical Link Force Indicates whether FORCE is set for an inactive logical link. Valid values include Yes, No, and N/A.

Logical Link Inactive Setting Indicates the setting of an inactive logical link. Valid values include Cold, ERE, NRE, and Unknown.

Logical Link PSTOPPED Indicates whether the logical link is currently in PSTOPPED state. Valid values include Yes and No.

Logical Link Status The current status of a Multiple Systems Coupling (MSC) logical link. Valid values:

ACTIVE

Currently processing

ASR

Automatic session restart

COLD

No resynchronization

CONT

Continuous mode

ERE

Emergency restart

FORCE

Restart session (ignore sequence numbers)

IDLE

Not currently processing

IWAIT

Link ECB waiting (same as the IMS status of NOTIDLE-B)

N/A

Not assigned

NRE

Normal restart synchronization

POSTED

Link ECB posted (same as the IMS status of NOTIDLE-A)

PRI

Primary logical side of link

PSTOPPED

Processing stopped

SEC

Secondary logical side of link

TKOTRA

Take-over trace active

TPWAIT

Link ECB waiting for TP event to complete (same as the IMS status of NOTIDLE-C)

TRA

Link trace active

Logical Link Takeover Indicates the setting for Takeover of Trace for the logical link. Valid values include Yes and No.

Logical Link Trace Indicates the tracing status on the logical link. Valid values include Active and Inactive.

Logical Running Status Indicates the running status of the logical link. Valid values include Idle, Posted, IWait, TPWait, and N/A.

MVS System The MVS System Management Facility (SMF) identifier. Valid format consists of up to four alphanumeric characters. Example: SP11

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

Queue Count The number of messages that are waiting to be sent on a Multiple Systems Coupling (MSC) link. Valid format is an integer.

Receive Count The number of messages that a Multiple Systems Coupling (MSC) link has received. Valid format is an integer.

Send Count The number of messages a Multiple Systems Coupling (MSC) link has sent. Valid format is an integer.

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:

BSC

Binary synchronous

CTC

Channel-to-channel

MTM

Memory-to-memory

N/A

Not applicable

VTAM

VTAM
