TCP/IP services: Resource statistics

You can retrieve TCP/IP services resource statistics by using the EXEC CICS EXTRACT STATISTICS TCPIPSERVICE system command. They are mapped by the TCPIPSERVICE and the DFHSORDS DSECTs.

Table 1. TCP/IP Services: resource statistics
DFHSTUP name Field name Description
TCPIPSERVICE Name SOR_SERVICE_NAME The name of the TCP/IP service.

Reset characteristic: not reset

TCPIPSERVICE Open Date/Time SOR_OPEN_LOCAL The date and time on which this TCP/IP service was opened. If this field is not set, SOR_OPEN_LOCAL contains the hexadecimal value X'0000000000000000', shown in the report as "CLOSED". If the field is set, it contains a date expressed in mm/dd/yyyy format. This field contains a valid date if the following statements apply:
  • The TCP/IP service is open at the time the statistics are taken.
  • The statistics request is unsolicited because the TCP/IP service is closed.

Reset characteristic: not reset

TCPIPSERVICE Close Date/Time SOR_CLOSE_LOCAL The date and time on which this TCP/IP service was closed. If this field is not set, SOR_CLOSE_LOCAL contains the hexadecimal value X'0000000000000000', shown in the report as "OPEN". If the field is set, it contains a time expressed as a store clock (STCK) value in local time.

TCPIPSERVICE Protocol SOR_PROTOCOL The protocol defined for this TCP/IP service. This protocol can be “ECI”, “HTTP”, “IIOP”, “IPIC", "USER", or blank (which means HTTP).

Reset characteristic: not reset

TCPIPSERVICE Backlog Setting SOR_BACKLOG The initial backlog setting for the TCP/IP service. The setting controls the maximum number of connection requests that are allowed to queue in the backlog queue for the TCP/IP service before it starts to reject incoming connections. This is per stack if the TCP/IP service is listening on multiple stacks.

Reset characteristic: not reset

TCPIPSERVICE URM SOR_TCPIPS_URM The name of a user-replaceable program to be called by this service.

Reset characteristic: not reset

Current Maximum Backlog SOR_CURR_MAX_BACKLOG The maximum number of connection requests that the TCP/IP service currently allows in its backlog queue, summed over all appropriate stacks if the TCP/IP service is listening on multiple stacks. This value can be greater than the TCPIPSERVICE Backlog Setting (SOR_BACKLOG) of the TCP/IP service because the TCP/IP service might temporarily increase this value if, for example, it determines that there is a SYN flood.

Reset characteristic: not reset by CICS

TCPIPSERVICE SSL Type SOR_SSL_SUPPORT The level of SSL support defined for this TCP/IP service.

Reset characteristic: not reset

TCPIPSERVICE Maxdata SOR_MAXDATA_LENGTH The maximum length of data that can be received on this TCP/IP service.

Reset characteristic: not reset

TCPIPSERVICE Authenticate SOR_AUTHENTICATE The authentication and identification scheme specified for this TCP/IP service.

Reset characteristic: not reset

TCPIPSERVICE Privacy SOR_PRIVACY The level of SSL encryption support that applies to this TCP/IP service.

Reset characteristic: not reset

TCPIPSERVICE Attachsec SOR_ATTACHSEC The level of attach-time security required for this TCP/IP service.

Reset characteristic: not reset

Current Connections SOR_CURRENT_CONNS The current number of connections for the TCP/IP service.

Reset characteristic: reset to zero

Peak Connections SOR_PEAK_CONNS The peak number of connections for the TCP/IP service.

Reset characteristic: reset to zero

Reset characteristic: reset to zero

Receive requests SOR_RECEIVES The number of receive requests issued for the TCP/IP Service.

Reset characteristic: reset to zero

Total Bytes Received SOR_BYTES_RECEIVED The number of bytes received for the TCP/IP service.

Reset characteristic: reset to zero

Requests processed SOR_REQUESTS The number of requests processed by the TCP/IP service.

Reset characteristic: reset to zero

Maximum Persistent Connections SOR_TCPIPS_MAX_PERSIST The maximum number of persistent connections from Web clients that the CICS region accepts at any one time.

Reset characteristic: not reset

Non-Persistent Connections SOR_TCPIPS_NON_PERSIST The number of connections where CICS did not allow the Web client to have a persistent connection.

Reset characteristic: reset to zero

Made non-persistent at MAXPERSIST SOR_NONP_AT_MAXPERSIST The number of times a new persistent connection was made non-persistent because MAXPERSIST was reached.

Reset characteristic: reset to zero

Disconnected after maximum uses SOR_DISC_AT_MAX_USES The number of times a persistent HTTP connection was disconnected because its number of uses had exceeded the limit.

Reset characteristic: reset to zero

Made non-persistent at task limit SOR_NONP_AT_TASK_LIMIT The number of times a new persistent HTTP connection was made non-persistent because the number of tasks in the region has exceeded the limit.

Reset characteristic: reset to zero

Disconnected at task limit SOR_DISC_AT_TASK_LIMIT The number of times an existing persistent HTTP connection was closed because the number of tasks in the region has exceeded the limit.

Reset characteristic: reset to zero

Current backlog SOR_CURR_BACKLOG The current number of connection requests waiting in the backlog queue, summed over all appropriate stacks if the TCP/IP service is listening on multiple stacks.

Reset characteristic: not reset

Connections dropped SOR_CONNS_DROPPED The total number of connections that were dropped because the backlog queue was full.

Reset characteristic: not reset by CICS

Time connection last dropped SOR_CONN_LAST_DROPPED The time that a connection was last rejected because the backlog queue of the TCP/IP service was full.

The resource statistics fields for the resource signature

The resource signature captures details about when the resource is defined, installed, and last changed. The resource statistics field names for the resource signature end in CHANGE_AGENT, CHANGE_TIME, CHANGE_USERID, DEFINE_SOURCE, INSTALL_AGENT, INSTALL_TIME, and INSTALL_USERID. For detailed information about the content of the resource signature fields, see Summary of the resource signature field values.
