The CICS PA plug-in for CICS Explorer

The CICS PA plug-in for CICS Explorer® (CICS PA plug-in) is an Eclipse plug-in that operates on top of the IBM® CICS Explorer to help you analyze CICS® data, including the Performance Summary and CICS PA Statistics and Statistics Alerts reports.

Using the CICS PA plug-in, you can perform the following tasks:

For more information about the IBM CICS Explorer, see http://www.ibm.com/cics/explorer.

The procedure that follows describes how to use CICS PA to get data from an SMF data set into a DB2® table or CSV file for use by the CICS PA plug-in.

The step-by-step procedure presented here shows you how to:
  1. Define a performance HDB.
  2. Define a statistics HDB, optionally including statistics alert data.
  3. Load the HDB.
  4. Export data:
    • To a DB2 table.
    • To a CSV file (Performance HDB only).
  5. Build the manifest. (This step is only required if the data is exported to DB2.)
  6. Access the data using the CICS PA plug-in.

While this procedure describes each step in detail, with enough information to move on to the next step, many of the steps are described individually in more detail in other parts of this book.
