Transaction Tracking Summary report

The Transaction Tracking Summary report provides an overview of the flow of related transactions through the various CICS® systems. This report allows you to analyze transaction performance from the perspective of transaction flow. For each originating transaction there is a block showing a summary line for all transactions that were associated directly or indirectly with the originating transaction. Grouping of transactions is based on a tracking key, which includes fields that identify the originating transaction, fields that identify the 'previous hop' transaction, and 1-4 user-specified key fields, which are used to display the actual summary data.

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

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

The line actions are the same as those for the Performance List Reports panel. See Performance List report. The options are also similar except that there is no option to specify an Alert definition. The report must use a Report Form of a compatible type (that is, SUMMARY).

To display the Transaction Tracking Summary Report panel, enter line action S against the Transaction Tracking Summary 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 and record selection criteria for the Transaction Tracking Summary report. The mandatory options are the Report Output DDname and the Transaction Tracking Summary Processing Option. You can let the other options default.

The report options are similar to those for the Performance List Report (see Performance List report), except for the following additional options:
Tracking Key
Grouping of transactions in the report is based on a tracking key, which comprises three parts:
  1. Fields that identify the originating transaction.

    In the PH Task 1 and 2 fields, specify the originating transaction ID fields. You can select APPLID, which specifies the originating CICS APPLID (OAPPLID), or TRAN, which specifies the originating transaction (OTRAN), or both. The default key is APPLID + TRAN.

  2. Fields that identify each 'previous hop' transaction related to the originating transaction.

    The previous hop identification fields are automatically paired in the report with the corresponding originating transaction fields. That is, if TRAN is selected then PHTRAN will be included and if APPLID is selected then PHAPPLID will be included.

  3. 1-4 user-specified key fields.

    In the Task 1 to 4 fields, select up to four CMF fields, which are used to display the actual summary data for each originating transaction and each related (previous hop) transaction. Use Prompt (F4) to select from a list of available fields.

Processing Options
Select option 1 - Origins with multiple records to report only on Origin transactions that have Group transactions. This is the default. This selection generates the PRINTMULTIPLE,NOPRINTSINGLE operand.

Select option 2 - Origins with a single record to report only on Origin transactions that do not have a Group transaction. This selection generates the NOPRINTMULTIPLE,PRINTSINGLE operand.

Select option 3 - All Origins to report all transactions. This generates the PRINTMULTIPLE,PRINTSINGLE operand.

Selection Criteria
Selection criteria can also be applied as a post-processing step. This is a second level of filtering that determines which Groups are to be included in the report. Only when all of the records in the Group fail this set of selection criteria will the whole group and associated Origin record be excluded from the report.
When a report form is specified for this report, the following rules apply.
  1. The key fields in the form are replaced by the tracking key.
    Note: This can result in the report page width different to that calculated for the Form.
  2. An error will be generated if PHCOUNT is a field in the Form as it is part of the Tracking key.
  3. Fields with function Severity (SEV) are ignored and are not included in the report.

CICS PA provides a default Report Output DDname in the format TTSUnnnn where nnnn is 0001-9999.
