Description
imageName
Answers a string containing the name of the image that is currently running.
setTracePoint:forEntry:
Sets an event monitoring point for an entry. The point specifies the monitoring point identifier. The entry name is the monitoring point entry name that qualifies the point value.
For MVS, the monitoring point identifier specified by the point is defined in the monitoring control table (MCT) and must be in the range 0 to 255. Note, however, that point identifiers in the range 200 to 255 are reserved. The entry name is defined in the MCT. The trace point and the entry point name must be specified in the MCT.
Defined instance methods
None
Example
As to Windows, a call to setTracePoint:forEntry: runs the following CICS code:
EXEC CICS ENTER
TRACEID(tracePoint)
ENTRYNAME(entryName)
PERFORM
MONITOR;
When this code runs, CICS sends the event monitoring point (EMP) to the EMP user exit function CICS_EMP_EnterAPI(). To process the EMP, your application must, at each event monitoring point, get the required information and return the user monitoring information so that, at the end of the transaction, CICS can append it to the performance monitoring data written to the transient data queue.
