Statistics reporting using the dialog

The CICS PA dialog provides comprehensive reporting for the following types of statistics:

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:
  1. Specify an SMF File, log stream, or HDB. A list of CICS statistics intervals for all systems is displayed.
  2. Select the required interval. A menu of statistics categories and reports is displayed.
  3. 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.
  4. Sort on any column in the report, ascending or descending, using point-and-shoot column heading underlines.
  5. Hyperlink to related reports using point-and-shoot field values.
  6. Press Help (F1) to display descriptions of all fields in the report, together with their CICS field name and DB2® column name.
  7. Press Form (F6) to edit the Report Form which controls the fields that are displayed in the report.
