Report content

On the BTS report, each line is printed from a single CMF performance class record. Records that are part of the same CICS® BTS Process ID (Root Activity ID) are printed sequentially in groups, separated by blank lines. The printed information allows you to find the corresponding records in the Performance List report.

The BTS report is produced using an external SORT facility. An External Work Data Set is required to store the records before they are sorted. This data set is either specified explicitly using EXTERNAL(ddname), or CICS PA assigns one from the External Work File pool.

The records are sorted in the following order:
  1. CICS BTS Process ID (Root Activity ID)
  2. Transaction Identification Number
  3. Task Stop Time in ascending order
Note: The Transaction Identification Number is only used for those transactions that have had some CICS BTS request activity, as determined from the Total Request count fields, but which do not have a CICS BTS Process ID.

For more information on correlating the performance class data by CICS BTS Process ID, see Correlating performance class data.

Figure 1 shows an example of the BTS report.

The following fields are shown on the CICS Business Transaction Services Report. For more information on the fields, see the CICS Performance Guide.

Tran
The Transaction ID (field: TRAN, owner: DFHTASK, field ID: 001) identifies the name of the transaction that this performance class record represents. Applications that are using Distributed Program Link (DPL) requests should use the TRANSID('xxxx') parameter on the EXEC CICS LINK PROGRAM('xxxxxxxx') command to enable better transaction/application analysis from the monitoring performance class data. If the TRANSID('xxxx') parameter is not specified, all the performance class records on the target system for a Distributed Program Link (DPL) mirror transaction will have the same Transaction ID. For example, 'CSMI' for a Distributed Program Link (DPL) request from another connected CICS system.
SC
The Transaction Start Type (field: STYPE, owner: DFHTASK, field ID: 004).
TranType
This column describes the transaction type:
 S           System transaction                                             
 U           User transaction                                               
  M          Mirror transaction                                             
   D         DPL Mirror transaction                                         
    O        ONC RPC Alias transaction                                      
     W       WEB Alias transaction                                          
      B      Bridge transaction                                             
       -     Reserved                                                       
        R    CICS BTS Run (ACQPROCESS or activity) transaction synchronous 

The transaction type is represented as an interpretation of byte 1 of the transaction flags field (owner: DFHTASK, field ID: 164).

Process Name
The name of the CICS Business Transaction Service (BTS) process (owner: DFHCBTS, field ID: 200) of which the user task formed part.
Process Type
The process-type of the CICS BTS process (owner: DFHCBTS, field ID: 201) of which the user task formed part.
Activity Name
The name of the CICS BTS activity (owner: DFHCBTS, field ID: 204) that the user task implemented.
Pro/Act Reqs
The total number of CICS BTS process and activity requests (owner: DFHCBTS, field ID: 215) issued by the user task.
Cont'er Reqs
The total number of CICS BTS process container and activity container requests (owner: DFHCBTS, field ID: 218) issued by the user task.
Event Reqs
The total number of CICS BTS event-related requests (owner: DFHCBTS, field ID: 222) issued by the user task.
Task
The transaction identification number (owner: DFHTASK, field ID: 031). This is printed for all records to help identify the corresponding records on a Performance List report.
R T
The performance class record type (field: RTYPE, owner: DFHCICS, field ID: 112):
C
Record output for a terminal converse.
D
Record output by a user event monitoring point (EMP) DELIVER request.
F
Record output for a long running transaction.
S
Record output for a syncpoint request.
T
Record output for a transaction termination (detach).
Stop Time
Stop time of the transaction (owner: DFHCICS, field ID: 006). The transactions within the same network unit-of-work are generally displayed in ascending stop time sequence. This might not always be true, however, due to syncpointing within the transaction, and to the difficulties involved in synchronizing the STORE CLOCK (STCK) values between different CPUs.
Response Time
The transaction response time. This field is calculated by subtracting the transaction start time (owner: DFHCICS, field ID: 005) from the transaction stop time (owner: DFHCICS, field ID: 006).
