Note: The Trangroup value for an affinity transaction group may vary from one run to another of the Detector or Reporter.

Affinity

The affinity relation. If appropriate, this also indicates whether the relation was worsened from a less restrictive relation. For more information about worsened relations, see ªWorsening of transaction affinities relationsº on page 14.

Lifetime

The affinity lifetime. If appropriate, this also indicates whether the lifetime was worsened from a less restrictive lifetime. For more information about worsened lifetimes, see ªWorsening of transaction affinities lifetimesº on page 14.

Queue (resource)

The resource causing the affinity. This may be the name of the resource (for example, Queue : LOCA1 (D3D6C3C1F1404040) as shown) or the address

of the resource, depending on the type of affinity.

Note: An unprintable character appears as a period (.).

Recoverable

Whether or not the resource is recoverable. For TS queues, this also indicates whether the queue is in auxiliary or main temporary storage.

Terminal Id

The identi®er of the terminal where the transactions taking part in the affinity were initiated. This information is available only for TS queue affinity, and is meaningful only if the affinity is LUNAME or worsened from LUNAME to GLOBAL. Therefore, the terminal identi®er is included in the report only in these cases.

Tranid The identi®er of each transaction taking part in the affinity. It is possible for an affinity transaction group to contain only one tranid. An example of such a situation is where each part of a pseudoconversation accesses a TS queue, and each part runs under the same tranid.

Program

The name of each program taking part in the affinity.

Offset The offset from the load point of the BALR instruction at the EXEC CICS command causing the affinity. The Reporter outputs a negative offset (X©FFFFxxxx©) if it could not determine an offset; that is, if the offset calculated is not within the program. This may indicate that the program (or perhaps language run-time code) has passed control to another program by using a non-CICS mechanism (for example, a VS COBOL II dynamic call).

Notes:

1.This offset is not the same as the offset given by the Scanner, which is the offset of the command argument 0 declaration from the start of the load module. (See page 71.)

2.If a negative offset (X©FFFFxxxx©) is used, it is not possible to directly locate individual affinity commands within a program. The program must be scanned for every instance of the affinity command, as there may be more than one.

Command

The EXEC CICS command causing the affinity.

OS specifications

IBM OS, or IBM Operating System, refers to a family of operating systems developed by IBM to support its hardware architectures. IBM has produced a range of OS versions tailored for different computing needs, such as mainframes, servers, and personal computers. Among the most notable operating systems in IBM's portfolio are OS/2, z/OS, and AIX, representing a blend of innovation and reliability that has defined IBM's reputation in the computing world.

One of the defining features of IBM OS is its robust multitasking capabilities. Both z/OS, predominantly used in IBM's mainframe environments, and AIX, the Unix-based system for IBM Power Systems, support multiple users and processes simultaneously. This ability allows organizations to run numerous applications in parallel efficiently, maximizing resource utilization and improving productivity.

In terms of security, IBM OS incorporates advanced features aimed at protecting data and maintaining integrity. z/OS offers multifactor authentication, data encryption, and a security model that adheres to the latest regulatory requirements. AIX provides Secure Virtualization, which enhances isolation and security in cloud environments, essential for enterprises handling sensitive information.

Another key characteristic is the adaptability of IBM OS to modern technologies. For instance, z/OS is designed to integrate with cloud computing, open source, and DevOps practices. This adaptability supports organizations in modernizing their infrastructure while retaining the stability associated with IBM solutions. AIX similarly supports containerization and virtualization, which are critical for optimizing resource usage in dynamic computing environments.

IBM's commitment to scalability is evident across its OS offerings. Organizations leveraging z/OS can handle enormous workloads and transactional volumes, making it a preferred choice for industries like finance and telecommunications. AIX also supports scalability, allowing businesses to expand their computing resources as demands grow without significant downtime.

The availability of development tools and environments is another noteworthy aspect of IBM OS. With robust IDEs and programming languages support, developers can create and deploy applications smoothly. This assists businesses in streamlining their development processes and improving time-to-market for innovative solutions.

In summary, IBM OS encompasses a suite of operating systems characterized by multitasking, security, adaptability to modern technologies, scalability, and comprehensive development support. These features have cemented IBM's position as a leader in enterprise solutions, allowing organizations across various industries to thrive in an increasingly digital world.
