Processing CICS monitoring facility output

You can process output from the CICS® monitoring facility using products such as CICS Performance Analyzer and Tivoli® Decision Support. See Tivoli Decision Support for z/OS and CICS Performance Analyzer for z/OS (CICS PA) for more information.

Or, instead, you may want to write your own application program to process output from the CICS monitoring facility. The CICS Customization Guide gives programming information about the format of this output.

CICS provides a sample program, DFH$MOLS, which reads, formats, and prints monitoring data. It is intended as a sample program that you can use as a skeleton if you need to write your own program to analyze the data set. Comments within the program may help you if you want to do your own processing of CICS monitoring facility output. See the CICS Operations and Utilities Guide for further information on the DFH$MOLS program.
