Viewing HSF Information in ESMAC (deprecated)

Note: The Enterprise Server Monitor and Control (ESMAC) interface has been deprecated. Micro Focus no longer supports ESMAC and will remove the feature in a future release. It has been provided for backward compatibility only. Micro Focus strongly recommends that you adopt the Enterprise Server Common Web Administration (ESCWA). See Enterprise Server Common Web Administration (ESCWA) for more information.

If you have enabled collection of HSF records and specified the number of records to collect in ESMAC, you can use ESMAC to view aggregated information on transactions, and details of individual runs of those transactions.

To start ESMAC:

  1. Access the Enterprise Server Administration screen for your installation.
  2. In the table of enterprise server instances, check that the server you want has started, and if not, start it.
  3. In the Status column of the enterprise server instance to monitor, click Details.

    The Details screen for the server is displayed.

  4. On the Details screen, select the Server > Control tab, then click ES Monitor & Control.

    The Enterprise Server Monitoring and Control (ESMAC) screen is displayed.

To view the transaction information:

  1. Click the HSF button.

This shows the period of time (displayed in minutes and seconds next to Historical Statistics) between the earliest records displayed and the current time. Records older than one hour are deleted. The following information is shown for each transaction:

Average Latency
The average time, in milliseconds (ms), between Enterprise Server receiving the requests and the tasks beginning to run.
Average Response Time
The average time, in milliseconds (ms), that the tasks ran for (not including latency time).
Count
How many times the task has run.

By clicking on the magnifying glass icon Magnifying glass icon next to a task you get a detailed view of the individual runs.

Latency+Resp
The sum of latency and response time averages.
Transaction
The name of task:
  • for CICS and IMS tasks, the transaction ID
  • for JCL, the job name
  • for Web services, the service name
Program
  • for CICS and IMS tasks, the program name
  • for JCL, the program name or the job number, depending on the JCL record type
Process ID
Process ID of the SEP which ran the task.
Task Number
A unique task number.
Date
The date the task started to run, in the format yyyymmdd.
Time
The time the task started to run, in the format hhmmssttt (where ttt denotes thousandths of a second).
User/CC
  • For CICS tasks, the ID of the user that initiated the task.
  • For JCL STEP and END records, the condition code or an error string.
LU/Step
  • For CICS tasks, the logical unit or net name (the identifier of the terminal used to initiate the task).
  • For JCL, either the step name, the JOBSTART(CLASS:jobclass) indicator, or the JOBEND indicator. JOBSTART(CLASS:jobclass) records are generated when a job starts. Job step records displaying the step name - e.g STEP01 - are generated when a step ends. JOBEND records are generated when a job completes.
