Transaction Response Time Graph report

The Transaction Response Time Graph Report shows the service level (response time) for completed transactions. It can be requested daily to determine, over a period of time, the level of service (response time).

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

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

The options and line actions are the same as those for the Performance List Reports panel, except there is no Report Form. See Performance List report.

To display the Transaction Response Time Graph panel, enter line action S against the Transaction Response Time Performance Graph Report on the Report Set panel, then if the list of previously specified graph 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 Response Time Graph. The report format is fixed. The only mandatory option is the DDname for the report output (the CICS PA default is GRSPnnnn). You can let the other options default.

The report options are the same as those for the Performance List report, except there is no Report Form and there are additional options for the attributes of the graphs:
Time Interval
The Transaction Response Time Graph report produces two graphs: average response time and maximum response time in each interval. Specify the time interval (in minutes) for the scale of the vertical axis of both graphs.

Specify a value in the range 00:00:01 (1 second) to 24:00:00 (24 hours). The default is 00:05:00 (5 minutes).

A time interval of less than one hour must fit evenly into the hour. CICS PA will round it down to the nearest interval that aligns to the hour. For example, 1.35 is reduced to 00:01:30 minutes which will produce 40 interval report lines for each hour of data.

A time interval of more than one hour must fit evenly into the day. CICS PA will round it down to the nearest interval that aligns to the day. For example, 10.30.23 is reduced to 08:00:00 hours which will produce 3 interval report lines for each day of data.

Minutes take precedence for an abbreviated entry. For example:
1
becomes 00:01:00
1.1
becomes 00:01:00 (rounded down from 00:01:01)
1.1.1
becomes 01:00:00 (rounded down from 01:01:01)

This option generates the INTERVAL(hh:mm:ss) operand.

Average Response Time (Seconds)
This applies to the graph of average response time (horizontal axis) in each time interval (vertical axis). Specify the high end (in seconds) of the range of values for the horizontal axis. This option generates the RANGE1(seconds) operand.
Maximum Response Time (Seconds)
This applies to the graph of maximum response time (horizontal axis) in each time interval (vertical axis). Specify the high end (in seconds) of the range of values for the horizontal axis. This option generates the RANGE2(seconds) operand.
