CICS Transacton Policy - TCB Monitoring by Task.

Transaction Policy, to monitor QR TCB usage.

We had a SLIP defined to exceed particuar thresholds; it would be good to have this capability as a CICS Policy.

SLIP SET,IF,RA=1D8236DA,J=J8D1PSTW,
A=SVCD,ML=1,ID=HIQR,PRCNTLIM=1,
DATA=(2R?+AA4,GT,00000000F000,AND,2R?+AB0,LT,0000000007D0),
SDATA=(PSA,NUC,SQA,LSQA,SUM,RGN,LPA,TRT,CSA),END

This SLIP will spring if there is a transaction that accrues almost 1 second of QRDISP time and less than 32 milliseconds of QRCPU time. From review of the SMF110 data collected for 2025-12-18, the problem transactions that appeared to be blocking the QR TCB met these minimum values. Once the SLIP springs it will be disabled itself.
