A Report Set is used to request a set of reports and extracts. Reporting options and record selection criteria can be specified at the global-level to apply to all the reports and extracts in the Report Set, or at the report-level to apply to the individual report or extract. Report-level specifications take precedence unless at run time you choose to override them.
When you run a Report Set, CICS PA first prompts you to specify run-time options. Then CICSĀ® PA generates a one-step JCL deck with a command stream including active reports and extracts in active report categories.
The topic on 'Defining a Report Set for daily monitoring' in the CICS Performance Analyzer for z/OSĀ® Getting Started Guide provides a guided tour or worked example of how to define a report set.
