The CICS PA dialog provides comprehensive reporting for the following
types of statistics:
- CICS® statistics and server
statistics in SMF 110 records with the following subtypes:
- 2
- CICS Statistics
- 3
- Shared Temporary Storage Server Statistics
- 4
- Coupling Facility Data Table Server Statistics
- 5
- Named Counter Sequence Number Server Statistics
- CICS Transaction
Gateway statistics in SMF 111 records
Short-term in-depth analysis or long-term trend analysis for your CICS statistics is available via
the Historical Database (HDB) and Statistics Reporting facilities.
CICS PA statistics reporting complements the CICS utilities DFH0STAT and DFHSTUP. CICS PA presents CICS statistics in a similar way
to DFH0STAT, the CICS sample
statistics program. It does not accumulate and report statistics intervals
like DFHSTUP.
Statistics reporting is available from the dialog. The procedure
is:
- Specify an SMF File, log stream, or HDB. A
list of CICS statistics intervals
for all systems is displayed.
- Select the required interval. A menu of statistics categories
and reports is displayed.
- Select the required report. The statistics report is displayed.
There are two types of reports: label reports or tabular reports:
- In label-based reports, fields are reported vertically. This format
is used when there is only one record for the report, typically an
overview report.
- In tabular reports, fields are reported horizontally. This format
is used when there can be multiple records in the report, typically
for CICS resources.
- Sort on any column in the report, ascending or descending, using
point-and-shoot column heading underlines.
- Hyperlink to related reports using point-and-shoot field values.
- Press Help (F1) to display descriptions of all fields in the report,
together with their CICS field
name and DB2® column name.
- Press Form (F6) to edit the Report Form which controls the fields
that are displayed in the report.
