The Number of Thread creates and number of partial signons have been added to both the DB2CONN base table and the DB2ENTRY base table and are displayed by Explorer.
We need to add Number of Thread creates and number of partial signons to both the DB2CONN base table and the DB2ENTRY base table, so they can be displayed by Explorer.
This is something we would like to address. The RFE is being moved into 'Planned for Future release' status. Please note:

Thanks Paul. We will accept this RFE for adding pool thread creates to the CPSM base table so that Explorer can display it
We are using CICS/TS 5.1 and Explorer v5.2.0.1.
But right you are! Ptwait, pcalls, ptreuse, and ptterm are all there, now that I know to look for them. Maybe could use more descriptive column names, but the flyover comments are great! I guess you can put pool thread creates on the list of things to add down the road.
Thanks for the update and have a great day!
Best regards,
Paul
Please can you confirm what level of Explorer and what level of CICS you are using.
I believe most of these are already available in Explorer, eg Ptwait = pool thread waits, pcalls = number of calls using pool threads, ptreuse = pool thread reuses and ptterm= number of pool threaad terminates. Although I am using the current development level of Explorer I don't think this has changed recently. The only one I don't see is pool thread creates. It looks like that was added to the CICS-DB2 statistics a few releases back, but the CPSM base table was not updated.
