Number of CICS Sessions

[gbell]

Hi,

We run several CICS regions on HP-UX supporting the Ellipse application with a Citrix front end. We are licensed for a finite number of Ellipse sessions and I was looking for a solution to monitor how many CICS sessions are connected which will tell me how many Ellipse sessions are active.

I was thinking I may be able to do it with ps -ef and grep out the active sessions but I don't know which CICS processes relate to a terminal session. Can anyone help please?

If you know which port is configured for CICS, you should be able to get a basic count by looking at active connections using netstat.

# netstat -an|grep {port}|wc -l

This might also show connections which are still established, even though the associated process is no longer running. Therefore it may not be what you need.
