Contains updates for fixes and new features introduced by APAR
PK90007:
- New Distributed Program Link (DPL) Usage Summary and List reports
- CICS TS V4.1 introduces new transaction resource class data fields
for distributed program links (DPLs). CICS PA provides
new DPL Usage Summary and List reports for these fields. For details,
see Transaction Resource Usage reports.
- Transaction Resource Usage List report: now includes originating
transactions
- If the APPLID or the task number of a transaction, or both, do
not match its originating transaction, then the Task Identification
section of the Transaction Resource Usage List report contains a second
line that describes the originating transaction. For details, see the Report Reference.
- Record Selection extract: support for identity class data
- CICS TS V4.1 introduces a new monitoring identity class data record
(SMF 110 subtype 1, class 6). You can now use CICS PA to extract
these records from an SMF file, optionally compress them, and then
save them to another file for future processing. For
details, see Record Selection extract.
- Cross-System Work Extended report: support for unit-of-work post-processing
Performance Selection Criteria
- The LISTX operand of the CICSPA batch command now supports the
SELUOW suboperand. This means that you can now select the units of
work that you want to include in a Cross-System Work Extended report.
- RECCOUNT field: now available in Performance Selection Criteria
- You can now use the field RECCOUNT (CICS field ID: PERRECNT DFHCICS
A131) in Performance Selection Criteria. You can also now use RECCOUNT
as a sort field in the List Extended report.
- Documentation update: suppressing default fields in Performance
Summary reports and extracts
- Customizing or suppressing default fields clarifies why, in some situations,
a Performance Summary report or extract contains fields that you have
not specified in the FIELDS operand.
- Documentation update: how CICS PA calculates
peak percentiles
- The description of the item nn in SUMMARY(FIELDS clarifies how CICS PA calculates
peak percentiles, and why these values are accurate only if your data
is normally distributed.
