Monitoring Webservices INVOKED by CICS transaction

we need to be able to see in realtime and by monitoring tools the webservices and pipelines invoked by cics transactions.

The CICS webservice acts like a requester.

We hope to be able to see all the informations that can be seen if the webservice acts like provider.

    Hi Radhik, Thanks for the comment. After the application got invalid certificate error during SSL handshaking and DFHSO0123 is issued, DFHPI0404 message should output the name of webservice and pipeline. There should also be a DFHPI0400 message issued. With these information, one should be able to tie the error messages to the application. Wonder if you have looked into these messages?

    Thanks, Jenny

    We like to see if the webservice name can be included with the error message so that we can identify the consumer/requester.

    This would help us to save time identifying which application is passing
    1) an incorrect/invalid cert during a DFHSO0123 with RC=414
    2) an invalid cipher/protocol negotiation issues resulting in DFHPI0404
    3) no common cipher negotiated> DFHSO0123 with RC=402

    Most of the services are hosted on server's that host more than 6-8 applications and its difficult to identify the app which is causing the error. By knowing the webservice name would help identify the requestor.
    We run TS5.2 on z/OS 2.2

    thanks
    Radhik

    We are looking for performance metrics for CICS WEB API requests that use URIMAPs with usage client. The statistics show socket wait time but there is no indication of the URIMAP that is associated to the socket wait time. Without knowing the URIMAP we cannot determine the destination for the requests. Also, some transactions issue CICS WEB API requests to multiple URIMAP's and we cannot identify the socket wait time associated to each request (for example, which one might be the elongated one). In addition, is there any way to tell what transactions are using particular URImaps?

    This is a candidate for a future release
