Performance List report

The Performance List report provides a detailed list of the CMF performance class records.

To request the report, enter line action S against the List Performance Report on the Report Set panel. If reports of this type have been previously specified, the list of Performance List Reports is displayed. Otherwise, the Performance List Report panel is displayed for you to define your first report of this type.

This panel displays the list of Performance List Reports in this Report Set. You can select (edit), delete, or include/exclude any report, insert new ones, or rearrange them (move/copy).

The options are:
Exc
An asterisk * in this field indicates that the report or extract is excluded from report processing.

Use line action X to reverse the Exclude indicator.

System Selection
Output
The DDname for the report output which CICS PA uses when generating the JCL to run the Report Set.

This option generates the OUTPUT(ddname) operand.

Form
The name of a Report Form to be used to tailor the format and content of the report. The report must use a Report Form of a compatible type, that is LIST or LISTX. If not specified, CICS PA uses the default Form. See Figure 1 for the default LIST Report Form.

CICS PA JCL generation translates the Report Form specification into the FIELDS operand.

Alert
The name of a Performance Alert Definition to be used to report performance non-compliance.
Selection Criteria
This indicator is generated by CICS PA.

YES indicates that Selection Criteria are activated for this report or extract.

NO indicates that Selection Criteria are not activated for this report or extract. This can mean that no Selection Criteria have been specified, all Select Statements are Excluded, or the Selection Criteria have been deactivated.

Line Actions: The valid line actions on the list of reports panel are:
Display the menu of line actions
S
Select this row for review or modification
I
Insert a row
R
Repeat this row
C
Copy this row
M
Move this row.
A
Move⁄Copy after this row
B
Move⁄Copy before this row
D
Delete this row
X
Reverse the Exclude indicator (Include/Exclude)
Primary Commands: The following primary commands are valid for this panel:
SHOW
This command shows all items in the list, both Included and Excluded. This is the default on entry to the panel.
HIDE
This command hides all Excluded items which have * in the Exc column. Only the Included items, where Exc is blank, are displayed. If all items are Excluded, a blank row is inserted to accept entry of a new data set specification. Row n from m after the panel title indicates the total number of items in the list. HIDE is only in effect until exit from this panel, or until the next SHOW command is issued.
EXCLUDE
This command Excludes all items by displaying * in their Exc column.
INCLUDE
This command Includes all Excluded items by removing the * from their Exc column.
RESET
This command (or RES) removes all outstanding line actions and deletes any blank rows.
SYSDEFS
This command opens the Personal System Definitions dialog.
To display the Performance List Report panel, enter line action S against the List Performance Report on the Report Set panel, then if the list of previously specified reports is displayed, enter line action S against a particular report in the list.

Use this panel to specify report options, report format, and record selection criteria for the Performance List report. The only mandatory option is the DDname for the report output. You can let the other options default.

The precision of numerical fields in the report is specified in Global Options (see Figure 1).

The options are:
System Selection
Report Output DDname
The DDname for the report output. Specify 1-8 alphanumeric characters starting with an alphabetic character. The DDname is mandatory and should be unique to separate the output of multiple reports. Multiple reports of the same type can use the same DDname without consequence, however a mix of reports using the same DDname might interleave the print lines.

CICS PA assigns a default DDname LISTnnnn where nnnn is a sequential number 0001-9999 to ensure each report has a unique DDname.

This option generates the OUTPUT(ddname) operand.

Report Form
The name of a LIST Report Form to be used to tailor the format and content of the report.

To select the name from a list of compatible Report Forms, position the cursor on the Form field and press Prompt (F4).

CICS PA JCL generation translates the Report Form specification into the FIELDS operand.

If a Report Form is not specified, CICS PA uses the default Form. See Figure 1 for the default Report Form for the LIST report.

Alert
The name of a Performance Alert Definition.

To select from a list of predefined names, position the cursor on the Alert field and press Prompt (F4).

CICS PA JCL generation translates the Alert specification into the ALERTDEF operand.

Severity
When an Alert name is specified, this sub-option allows you to specify the minimum severity level to be reported and type of transactions reported.

The minimum severity level selected for reporting is used to report transactions that have at least that level of reporting in any of the severity fields. This could result in transactions being reported with severity lower than the specified severity when the transaction also has one or more severity fields that meets the specified severity criteria. For example, if you specify SEVERITY(CRITICAL) for the report, only transactions with Critical severity are reported, however, if a transaction also exceeds Warning or Info thresholds, the lower severity will be also reported.

Press Prompt (F4) to select from the list of available options which are:

CICS PA JCL generation translates the Severity specification into the SEVERITY(CRITICAL|WARNING|INFO|ELIGIBLE|ALL) operand.

Performance Selection Criteria
You can specify Selection Criteria to filter the CMF records on time period and field values to restrict reporting to the data that is of interest to you.

CICS PA JCL generation translates Selection Criteria to the SELECT(PERFORMANCE operand.

If you specify a Report Form that also has Selection Criteria specified, CICS PA JCL generation translates the Form's Selection Criteria to the SELECT2(PERFORMANCE operand. If both the report and the Form specify Selection Criteria, then a record must pass selection by both specifications to be included in the report.

Repository
The data set name of the Repository that contains the Performance Alert Definitions.
