CICCMQ Monthly CICS Availability
The Monthly CICS Availability graph shows monthly CICS availability and workload for the past 6 months.
micsrm140
The Monthly CICS Availability graph shows how well CICS has been meeting its service level (availability) objective and the trend in CICS workload.
Report format
This inquiry produces an overlay plot for each CICS region found in input. It plots CICS hour availability (percent available) on the left vertical axis, while the corresponding workload on the right. A horizontal reference line is drawn at the user-specified point, the default of which is 98, to indicate the availability objective.

Execution-time parameters
UNIT
Select one or more
MICS database
units by entering the data base IDs. Enter multiple IDs with a blank following each ID value.CYCLE
(Optional) Define
MICS
input file cycle range.
For this inquiry, the default is the 01 cycle.
SYSID
(Optional) Specify the SYSID to be reported. If no value is specified, the value *ALL is used. It causes all SYSIDs found in input to be summarized together.
CICSID
(Optional) Specify the CICSID to be reported. If no value is specified, the value *ALL is used. It causes all CICSIDs found in input to be summarized together.
DATE
(Optional) Enter the date to be reported in ddmmmyy format.
For this inquiry, the default is yesterday.
ZONE
(Optional) Select one or more
MICS
time zones. Valid values are numbers 1 through 9.BY
(Optional) Specify the BY variable (either SYSID or CICSID) to produce separate graphs for each system. Otherwise, all SYSIDs and CICSIDs are summarized together and displayed on one graph.
DEVICE
(Optional) Override the default colors and patterns that are used by specifying a different device type. The default is TERMINAL. Because the code for color graphics is not generated by MICF, the device parameter you specified in MICF is not applicable here.
FOOTNOTE
(Optional) Specify whether or not the MICF inquiry ID should be displayed as a footnote on the graph. The default value is NO.
User exits
If the MICF execution-time parameters are insufficient to select the data you need, you can invoke one of the following global exits to further manipulate the input file. Additionally, you can override the global exit definitions in MICF using independent source statements. For details about coding the exits, see the Changing the Report Parameters section.
The global exits are defined by macros in the source module CICRPTGL in sharedprefix.MICS.SOURCE. The following exits are available to this inquiry:
- %GCIC
- Select CICSIDs for report.
- %GCNTR
- Assign value to the variable CENTER which defines the logical grouping of SYSIDs. CENTER is set to SYSID by default.
- %GSYS
- Select SYSIDs for report.
In addition to the listed exits, the module CICRPTGL also contains macro variables that set default values for service level objectives. See the Changing the Report Parameters section to override the default values.
