CEMT INQUIRE MONITOR
Retrieve information about the status of CICS® monitoring.
In the CICS Explorer, the Regions operations view provides a functional equivalent to this command.
Description
You can use the INQUIRE MONITOR command to inquire whether monitoring is switched on or off, which classes of monitoring data are collected, and the current settings of the monitoring options.
Input
Press the Clear key to clear the screen, and type CEMT INQUIRE MONITOR (or suitable abbreviations for the keywords). The resulting display lists the current status. You can tab to the highlighted or blank fields and overtype them with the required values.
Displayed fields

- Displays
whether CICS application naming
support is enabled. The values are as follows:
- APPLNAME

- NOCOMPRESS
- Data compression is not performed.
You can reset this value by overtyping it with a different value.
- CONVERSEST(value)
- Displays
whether conversational tasks have separate performance class records
produced for each pair of terminal control I/O requests (Converse
or Send/Receive pair). The values are as follows:
- CONVERSE
- Separate performance class records are produced.
- NOCONVERSE
- Separate performance class records are not produced.
You can reset this value by overtyping it with a different value.
- DPLLIMIT (value)
- Displays the maximum number of distributed program link requests for which transaction resource class monitoring data is being collected.
- EXCEPTCLASS(value)
- Displays
whether the exception class of monitoring data is being collected.
The values are as follows:
- EXCEPT
- Exception-class monitoring data is being collected.
- NOEXCEPT
- Exception-class monitoring data is not being collected.
You can reset this value by overtyping it with a different value.
- FILELIMIT (value)
- Displays the maximum number of files for which transaction resource class monitoring data is being collected.
- FREQUENCY (value)
- Displays the interval for which monitoring automatically produces a transaction performance class record for any long-running transaction that has been in the system for a greater time than the interval. FREQUENCY values can be either 000000 (indicating that FREQUENCY monitoring is inactive) or in the range 000100 – 240000.
- MONITOR(value)
- Indicates that this panel relates to a MONITOR inquiry.
- IDNTYCLASS(value)
- Displays
whether the identity class of monitoring data is being collected.
The values are as follows:
- IDNTY
- Identity class monitoring data is being collected.
- NOIDNTY
- Identity class monitoring data is not being collected.
- PERFCLASS(value)
- Displays
whether the performance class of monitoring data is being collected.
The values are as follows:
- PERF
- Performance class monitoring data is being collected.
- NOPERF
- Performance class monitoring data is not being collected.
You can reset this value by overtyping it with a different value.
- RESRCECLASS(value)
- Displays
whether the transaction resource class of monitoring data is being
collected. The values are as follows:
- RESRCE
- Transaction resource class monitoring data is being collected.
- NORESRCE
- Transaction resource class monitoring data is not being collected.
You can reset this value by overtyping it with a different value.
- RMIST(value)
- Displays
whether additional performance class monitoring data is to be collected
for the resource managers used by your transactions. The values are
as follows:
- RMI
- Additional performance class monitoring data is being collected for the resource managers used by your transactions.
- NORMI
- Performance class monitoring data is not being collected for the resource managers used by your transactions.
- STATUS(value)
- Displays
whether monitoring is active. The values are as follows:
- ON
- Monitoring data is accumulated continuously and is collected (written out to an SMF data set) for each of the classes of monitoring data that is active.
- OFF
- No monitoring data is accumulated or collected, regardless of the settings of the monitoring data classes.
You can reset this value by overtyping it with a different value.
- SYNCPOINTST(value)
- Displays
whether a transaction performance class record is produced when a
transaction takes an explicit or implicit sync point (unit-of-work),
except when the sync point is part of task termination or a sync point
rollback. The values are as follows:
- SYNCPOINT
- A transaction performance class record will be produced.
- NOSYNCPOINT
- A transaction performance class record will not be produced.
You can reset this value by overtyping it with a different value.
- TIME(value)
- Displays
whether the time stamp fields in the performance class monitoring
data are returned in Greenwich mean time (GMT) or local time to an
application using the COLLECT STATISTICS command.
The values are as follows:
- GMT
- The time-stamp fields in the performance class data are GMT.
- LOCAL
- The time-stamp fields in the performance class data are local time.
- TSQUEUELIMIT(value)
- Displays the maximum number of temporary storage queues for which transaction resource class monitoring data is being collected.
