Active Job Status Display Job Mainetenence Status Display V-Share V-Share allows multiple programs to update the same VSAM file simultaneously. To accomplish this, V-Share intercepts batch VSAM requests and ships the requests to a CICS/VSE region (hereafter just "CICS region"). CICS then updates the file on behalf of the batch jobs. By giving batch jobs the ability to update files within CICS, V-Share makes CICS the VSAM data manager. V-Share Downloads & Documentation V-Share consists of three basic components: • The first component executes in the batch program’s area. It intercepts the I/O requests and ships them to the second component of V-Share residing in CICS. • The second component of V-Share resides in the CICS region owning the VSAM files. It performs all of the VSAM I/O on behalf of the batch job. The first and second components communicate through VTAM or through VSE Cross Memory Services. VTAM may be used when the batch job and the CICS region reside either on the same CPU or on different CPUs. Cross Memory Services provides a performance boost but the batch job and the CICS region must be on the same CPU. • The third component of V-Share also resides in the CICS region. It is comprised of a series of on-line screen programs providing the following functions: --Define CICS regions to use V-Share --Define jobs eligible to use V-Share --Monitor active jobs currently using V-Share --Suspend a job that is currently active --Restart a job previously suspended --Cancel a job --Reduce the rate of I/O requests being sent to CICS in the event of heavy on-line activity --Review prior executions of batch jobs top Active Job Status Display USERID:      USER001 BIM-VSHARE - THE CICS CONNECTION DATE:   01/14/02 TERMID: 0040 A C T I V E J O B S               REQ   START VSAM ACCESS CMD JOB NAME STEP NAME MINUTE REGION TIME REQUESTS STATUS TYPE                   _ PRODJOB1 EXECXXXX 00000 PRODCICS 08:51:22 00057080 ACTIVE LU62 _ PRODJOB4 STEP0200 04001 PRODCICS 08:55:10 00002301 ACTIVE CMS _ USER001C STEP1000 01101 PRODCICS 09:01:12 00030704 ACTIVE CMS S MASTERUP UPDATE09 00000 PRODCICS 09:01:56 00021000 ACTIVE LU62                     TESTJOB1 STEP0038 00000 PRODCICS 09:11:21 00002306 ACTIVE CMS                     PRODFIX2 FIXIT001 00000 PRODCICS 09:15:21 00001106 ACTIVE LU62                     CC045RMA EXEC0010 00000 PRODCICS 09:24:29 00001002 ACTIVE CMS                     SYS1221A STEP1004 00000 PRODCICS 09:32:17 00000454 ACTIVE CMS   ITIDKVMA STEP0030 00010 PRODCICS 09:40:34 00000059 ACTIVE CMS   top Job Maintenance Status Display USERID: USER001 BIM-VSHARE - THE CICS CONNECTION DATE: 01/14/03     J O B     M A I N T E N A N C E TIME: 08:49:48           FUNCTION: C ( A + ADD, C = CHANGE, D = DELETE )               JOB NAME: PRODJOB1     JOB INFORMATION:CICS REGION: CICSPROD SYNC LEVEL:005 TRANID:TCCB     REQS/MINUTE:00000      ACCESS TYPE;CMS           JOURNAL INFORMATION: JOURNAL UPDATES?
