CICS Monitoring Enhancement for Shared TS Request Counts

We need CICS to be able to provide monitoring information on shared TS queue requests, particularly the PUT and GET request counts one task has requested against a shared TS pool.

    This RFE is satisfied by CICS TS 5.3 which is generally available from December 11th 2015.

    The following new performance class counters have been addedto resolve this RFE:

    460 (TYPE-A, 'TSGETSCT', 4 BYTES)
    Number of temporary storage GET requests from shared temporary storage issued by the user task.

    461 (TYPE-A, 'TSPUTSCT', 4 BYTES)
    Number of temporary storage PUT requests to shared temporary storage issued by the user task.


    In addition we have also added the following counts to the TS resource class records so users can determine gets and puts by a task to shared TS to individual queues too:

    MNR_TSQUEUE_GET_SHR (TYPE-S, 8 BYTES)
    The elapsed time that the user task waited for completion of GET requests to shared temporary storage, issued by the user task for this temporary storage queue. The count part of this field (the low-order 24 bits) contains the number of GET requests to shared temporary storage issued against the temporary storage queue. For more information, see Clocks and time stamps and Transaction wait (suspend) times.

    MNR_TSQUEUE_PUT_SHR (TYPE-S, 8 BYTES)
    The elapsed time that the user task waited for completion of PUT requests to shared temporary storage, issued by the user task for this temporary storage queue. The count part of this field (the low-order 24 bits) contains the number of PUT requests to shared temporary storage issued against the temporary storage queue. For more information, see Clocks and time stamps and Transaction wait (suspend) times.

    MNR_TSQUEUE_GET_SHR_ITEML (TYPE-A, 4 BYTES)
    The total length of all items obtained from this shared temporary storage queue.

    MNR_TSQUEUE_PUT_SHR_ITEML (TYPE-A, 4 BYTES)
    The total length of all items written to this shared temporary storage queue.
