CICS PA-specific fields

CICS PA-specific fields are additional derived fields, such as sums, ratios, and percentages, that are generated by CICS PA based on CMF data. You can use these fields in report forms.

Start of changeACAPPLVREnd of change
Start of changeApplication context application version. This character field represents three 4-byte binary values separated by hyphens: ACMAJVER (major version), ACMINVER (minor version), and ACMICVER (micro version).End of change
ALERT
For Performance Summary alert reporting, the count or percentage total of transactions at the specified alert severity (Critical, Warning, or Info) for the summary key.
APPLID
CICS® generic APPLID.
APPLRECS
Number of Application records in this Network Unit-of-Work Extract record. All Cross-System Work Extract records include this field.
Start of changeCECMTYPEEnd of change
Start of changeA concatenation of CECMCHTP (CEC machine type) and CECMDLID (CEC model ID).End of change
COMMWAIT
Total time value of the communications related fields IRWAIT, ISWAIT, SZWAIT, TCWAIT, LU61WAIT, and LU62WAIT.
Start of changeCPUISSPEEnd of change
Start of changeThe task processor time that was eligible for offload to a specialty processor. It is calculated as:
CPUONCPE + (USRCPUT – CPUONCP)
End of change
Start of changeCPUONCPNEnd of change
Start of changeThe task processor time on a standard processor that was not offload eligible. It is calculated as:
CPUONCP - CPUONCPE
End of change
Start of changeCPUONSPEnd of change
Start of changeThe task processor time that was offloaded to a specialty processor. It is calculated as:
USRCPUT - CPUONCP
End of change
DPLRECS
Number of Distributed Program Link (DPL) records in this Network Unit-of-Work Extract record. This is a subset of FUNCSHIP, the Function Shipping record count. All Cross-System Work Extract records include this field.
Start of changeENQSDLYEnd of change
Start of changeThe total elapsed time waiting for a CICS task control local or global enqueue. It is calculated as:
ENQDELAY + GNQDELAY
End of change
FILENAME
Transaction resource class data only: VSAM file name.
FUNCSHIP
Number of Function Shipping records in this Network Unit-of-Work Extract record. All Cross-System Work Extract records include this field.
IOWAIT
Total time value of the I/O wait time fields FCWAIT, JCWAIT, TDWAIT, TSWAIT.
IRESP
CICS internal response time for the transaction. It is calculated by the difference in the Start and Stop times minus the time spent waiting on the terminal (operator think time).
JOBNAME
Jobname of the CICS system.
JVMMTIME
JVM method time. This is the elapsed time spent in the CICS JVM by the user task, excluding the JVM initialize and reset elapsed times. It is calculated as:
JVM elapsed time (JVMTIME) - JVM init time (JVMITIME)
    - JVM reset time (JVMRTIME)
Start of changeLOCKSDLYEnd of change
Start of changeThe total elapsed time waiting for a CICS task control local enqueue or global enqueue, or waiting to acquire a CICS lock manager (LM) lock on a resource, an intrapartition transient data lock, or an extrapartition transient data lock. It is calculated as:
ENQDELAY + GNQDELAY + LMDELAY + TDILWTT + TDELWTT
End of change
Start of changeLOCKWAITEnd of change
Start of changeThe total elapsed time that the user task waited to acquire a CICS lock manager (LM) lock on a resource, an intrapartition transient data lock, or an extrapartition transient data lock. It is calculated as:
LMDELAY + TDILWTT + TDELWTT
End of change
MVSID
SMF system ID.
Start of changeOMODDLYEnd of change
Start of change(Other Mode Delay) The elapsed time for which the user task waited for redispatch on a CICS TCB other than on the CICS QR, RO, and SO mode TCBs. It is calculated as:
DISPWTT - (QRMODDLY + ROMODDLY + SOMODDLY)
End of change
OSLATNCY
Latency since start of originating transaction. It is calculated as the difference between the Start time of the current transaction and the Start time of the originating transaction.
PHLATNCY
Previous hop latency time for the transaction. It is calculated as the difference between the Start time of the current transaction and the Start time of the previous hop transaction.
Start of changeQRDSPRTOEnd of change
Start of changeThe ratio of QR TCB Dispatch to QR TCB CPU. It is calculated as:
(QR CPU/QR Dispatch) * 100
End of change
Start of changeRATEMINEnd of change
Start of changeThe transaction rate per minute.
Note: Performance alerts for the RATEMIN and RATESEC fields are not included in the ALERT field count. This is because they are based on the summarised data, not on individual transaction alerts. This could result in the ALERT fields showing zeros while in fact the special derived field generates alerts.
End of change
Start of changeRATESECEnd of change
Start of changeThe transaction rate per second.
Note: Performance alerts for the RATEMIN and RATESEC fields are not included in the ALERT field count. This is because they are based on the summarised data, not on individual transaction alerts. This could result in the ALERT fields showing zeros while in fact the special derived field generates alerts.
End of change
RELEASE
CICS release. For example, CICS TS V4.1 is 660.
RESPONSE
CICS response time for the transaction. It is calculated as the difference between the Start and Stop times.
RMIOTIME
Elapsed time the task was suspended by the dispatcher while in the Resource Manager Interface (RMI), excluding time waiting for DB2® and IMS™. It is calculated as:
RMISUSP - IMSWAIT - DB2RDYQW - DB2CONWT - DB2WAIT

(RMI suspend time - IMS wait time - DB2 readyq wait time - DB2 connection wait time - DB2 wait time)

TASKCNT
For Summary reporting only: the total number of tasks (CMF records).
TASKTCNT
For Summary reporting only: the total number of completed tasks (CMF termination records).
TOTCPU
The total task CPU time. This field is calculated as:

User CPU Time (DFHTASK S008) + RLS File Request CPU Time (DFHFILE S175)

TOTRECS
Total number of records in this Network Unit-of-Work Extract record. All Cross-System Work Extract records include this field. It is calculated as:

APPLRECS + TRANROUT + FUNCSHIP + DPLRECS

TRANROUT
Number of terminal-owning region records in this Network Unit-of-Work Extract record. All Cross-System Work Extract records include this field.
UOWID
Network unit-of-work ID: the first 6 bytes of NETUOWSX DFHTASK C098 that uniquely identifies this unit of work. This ID is assigned at attach time using either a STCK token (when the task is attached to a local terminal), or the network unit of work ID passed as part of an ISC APPC or IRC attach header. The system clock will wrap at intervals of several months.
UOWSEQ
Network unit-of-work ID sequence number: the last 2 bytes of NETUOWSX DFHTASK C098. This field is the period count, typically incremented at each syncpoint.
