Functional Overview

The Summary of Active Users function displays the system resources used by all active users that have logged on to Natural since the initialization of CICS. An active user is one who is currently logged on to Natural under CICS.

The system resources used by each active user are captured in the following statistics:

The total number of seconds that the user's task is waiting for the database;
The amount of data sent back to the terminal;
The average response time for the user's transactions.

The following display and windows are available within the Summary of Active Users function:

Summary of Active Users Display
Presents a list of all active users and a line of information for each user that is four screens wide.
Lowest 20 Window
Lists the 20 users who are associated with the smallest values of a system resource sort list.
Highest 20 Window
Lists the 20 users who are associated with the largest values of a system resource sort list.
Summary of Active User Window
Provides the same information as on the Summary of Active Users screen, but presents it in table form on a single screen for a single user.
Natural Call Table Window
Lists all Natural programs accessed by the user's last or current transaction as well as detailed information about the database calls issued by these Natural programs.

Note:
Historical data is not available for the Summary of Active Users function.

Additional Commands for the Summary of Active Users Function

There are several additional commands and PF keys that are available for use on the summary of all users and individual summary screens within this function. They are:

Command PF Key Description

CANCEL

The specified session is terminated abnormally. A session may be cancelled by TP user ID (`uuu`), terminal name (`tttt`) or session ID (`nnn`), see below.
Format	Example
`CANCEL U=uuuuuuu`	`CANCEL U=ABC`
`CANCEL T=tttt`	`CANCEL T=T031`
`CANCEL nnn`	`CANCEL 37`

DISPLAY ACT
DI ACT Display all sessions except such with status Inactive or Terminate.

DI ALL Display all sessions.

EXIT PF3 Exit from the display.

FORCE Deactivates Natural Monitor monitoring for the specified session. It does not affect the Natural session. A session may be forced by TP user ID, terminal name or session ID. The command format is the same as for the CANCEL command.

HELP PF1 Access the help system.

HIGH PF7 Display the Highest 20 window for the field marked by the cursor.

LEFT PF10 Scroll left one screen.

LOW PF6 Display the Lowest 20 window for the field marked by the cursor.

PICK PF9 Access a one page window of all the information available for the desired session. Enter PICK nnn with session ID nnn or position the cursor on the desired session line and press PF9.

RIGHT PF11 Scroll the display right one screen.

STERM PF2 Sort the display by terminal name.

SSID PF5 Sort the display by session ID.

SUSER PF4 Sort the display by TP user ID.

TERMNAT The specified session is terminated normally. A session may be terminated by TP user ID, terminal name or session ID. The command format is the same as for the CANCEL command.

TOP Scroll to the top of the display.

+ PF8 Scroll forward one screen.

The TERMNAT command causes Natural Monitor to issue an internal Natural cancel against a user. When Natural detects that the user session has been cancelled, the user's Natural session terminates normally.

The CANCEL command functions just like the TERMNAT command, except that an RNMA ABEND is received by the user who is forced and his Natural session is terminated abnormally, causing the ABEND.

The FORCE command deactivates Natural Monitor monitoring for the specified session. It does not affect the Natural session. The forced Natural session continues to run without monitoring.

Additionally, a write-to-operator (WTO) command is issued to the console indicating the user ID of the user who is cancelled, and the user ID and terminal name of the person who issued the CANCEL, TERMNAT or FORCE command.

Using the commands TERMNAT and CANCEL, a running session may be marked to terminate normally or abnormally. This will be honored the next time Natural Monitor gets control within the desired session.

The CANCEL, FORCE and TERMNAT commands may be used from within the individual user summary window as well; however, here there is no need to include the U=user-ID, SID, or T=terminalname parameters on either of these commands, since the CANCEL, FORCE or TERMNAT command is issued against the user whose session was displayed in this window.

Lowest 20 Window

The Lowest 20 window displays one of the following:

the first 20 users sorted alphabetically from A; or
the 20 users who are using the least amount of a particular system resource along with the individual usage statistics for that resource for each of the 20 users.

The order of users is by intensity of use. User 01 on the Lowest 20 window represents the least intensive user of the resource.

To access the Lowest 20 window

Perform one of the following procedures from the Summary of Active Users display:

position the cursor at any row under the column header that represents the particular resource being monitored and press PF6 (Low); or
type the command LOW on the command line. Position the cursor at any row under the column header that represents the particular resource being monitored and press Enter.

A window appears similar to the Lowest 20 window shown below:

Use of the PICK command/PF9 to access the summary screen for a single user on the Highest 20 screen is discussed under the heading Summary of Active User Window below.

Summary of Active User Window

The summary screen for a single user can be accessed from any of the Summary of Active Users display screens by using the Pick function.

To access the Summary of Active Users display screens

Use either the PF9 key or the PICK command:

To use the PF9 key, position the cursor on the row that corresponds to the user ID for which you want an individual summary display and press the PF9 key.
To use one of the PICK commands (PICK U=userid, PICK sid, or PICK T=terminalname), type the command on the command line and press Enter.

This command may be Entered from any Natural Monitor screen by preceding it with the code NM SA. If you are already in Natural Monitor but are outside the Summary of Active Users function, type in the command preceded by the value SA.

	`CANCEL`	Terminate the specified session abnormally.
	`FORCE`	Deactivate monitoring for the specified session.
	`TERMNAT`	Terminate the specified session normally.
PF1	`HELP`	Invoke online help.
PF3	`EXIT`	Exit this function.
PF8	`NEXT`	Display the next user from a list of users on the Summary of Active Users screen.
PF9	`NCT`	Display the Natural call table which contains the programs accessed by the user's last or current transaction.
PF12	`MENU`	Return to the Natural Monitor Main Menu.

Note:
No PF keys are available for the CANCEL, FORCE and TERMNAT commands.

Accessing the Natural Call Table Window

The Natural Call Table (NCT) contains a list of the Natural programs accessed by the user's last or current transaction and statistics about the database calls issued from these programs.

The NCT is accessible from the individual summary window.

To access the Natural Call Table window

Type in the command NCT and press Enter, or
Press the PF9 key.

The NCT display spans two windows; the PF keys PF11 and PF10 can be used to toggle between the two.

An example of these windows is shown below. Columns contain asterisks (*) only if no database information is available because the program issued no database calls. This is the first window:
