The CICS® PA dialog helps you to create, maintain and submit your report requests. It also helps you to specify your input data and tailor requests specific to your requirements without you having to understand the CMF data.
The dialog requires no special customization or setup. Reporting can commence immediately.
The following steps explain how to use the dialog for reporting.

Related CICS systems, such as those systems that connect via IRC/MRO or ISC/APPC, can be grouped together for reporting purposes. For example, assigning the CICS MRO systems (CICSPTOR, CICSPAOR, CICSPFOR, CICSPDOR) to a group allows you to report on these systems as a single entity. CICS PA reports can then show a complete end-to-end picture of your MRO transaction activity, incorporating detailed DB2 statistics derived from the DB2 accounting data of subsystem DB2P.
Figure 14 shows a Report Set. The available reports are displayed in a tree structure (folder style) and grouped by category. Report categories can be expanded or collapsed as required. The Active status controls which reports in the Report Set are run when you submit a report request.

Report Sets can contain Selection Criteria which are used to filter CMF records. This enables you to tailor your reporting to include only the information that you are interested in. For example, you can specify Selection Criteria to restrict reporting to:
