RELATED IDEAS

Please Provide a SYSPARM table view in CICS Explorer

I am opening this RFE to bring attention to and focus the request in RFE 100754.

The WUI's view of the SYSPARM table at Home > CICS Operations > CICS region operations views > System parameters is MUCH more friendly than what is currently provided in Explorer, because the WUI view will return the SIT parm values for EACH region in a CICSplex.

This makes it very handy for viewing or reporting on a particular setting or all SIT parm settings across all regions, to compare all regions at a glance and see if they are configured differently, etc.

In the CICS Explorer, I can only right click on a single region and view its SIT parameters. This in my view is a step backward from the view that the WUI provides.

Please provide a table view in CICS Explorer for the SYSPARM resource table, that will return all SYSPARM values for the scope of a CICSplex.

    One other note: the three related RFEs taken as a whole, you now have almost 40 votes for this functionality.

    I wanted to make an additional point. Being able to view the SYSPARM table 'plex-wide' would pair nicely with other features that CICS Explorer has, like using keyboard shortcuts to copy and paste the table data to a text/.csv file for easy importing into a spreadsheet.
