New	Out-of-the-box	Dashboards	
§ Problem:	CA	SYSVIEW	3270	dashboards	require	creators	to	
update	parmlib members	and	write	REXX-like	code	
§ Solution:	Our	new	web	user	interface	(Mainframe	Team	
Center	– Management,	or	MTC-M)	includes	dashboards:
─ Eight	useful	dashboards
─ Provide	immediate	value	right	out	of	the	box
─ Can	be	used	as	is	or	easily	modified	and	saved

Too	Many	CICS	Regions?		
§ Problem:	
– Sherman,	a	CICS	SYSPROG,	has	hundreds	of	regions	in	his	shop.		
– Individual	stakeholder	groups	may	care	about	only	a	select	few.		
– But	Sherman	likely	supports	many	different	stakeholder	groups.		
– Sherman	would	like	for	his	stakeholder	groups	to	be	more	self-
sufficient	so	that	he	has	more	time	to	focus	on	more	strategic	
issues	instead	of	constantly	fire-fighting.

CICSGROUP	
Demo
Too	Many	CICS	Regions?		
Using	Groups	to	Address	the	Challenge
1. Define	groups	of	CICS	regions	using	GROUPS
2. Many	CA	SYSVIEW	commands	can	be	filtered	by	GROUP
– Either	by	specifying	a	GROUP	name
§ On	the	command
§ In	the	INPUTLIST	for	a	UI	Object
§ In	a	3270	dashboard	definition
– Or	by	a	profile	variable	(like	CICSGROUP)
§ Or	use	SET	CICSGROUP	in	3270	interface
