WebSphere MQ report

The WebSphere® MQ report processes WebSphere MQ SMF accounting (SMF 116) records to produce a detailed view of WebSphere MQ usage by your CICS® systems.

The WebSphere MQ List reports provide, depending on the WebSphere MQ accounting traces that are active, details about: These can be sorted and aggregated by Transaction ID or Queue name or both.
To request the report, enter line action S against the WenSphere MQ Subsystem Report on the Report Set panel. If reports of this type have been previously specified, the list of WebSphere MQ Reports is displayed. Otherwise, the WebSphere MQ panel is displayed for you to define your first report of this type.

This panel displays the list of WebSphere MQ 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 are:
System Selection
System Selection identifies the MQ Subsystems and associated SMF files that you want to report against. MQ System Selection can be specified here or on the WebSphere MQ Report panel. For details, see the description of this option following the next figure.
Output
CICS PA provides a default Report Output DDname in the format MQ00nnnn where nnnn is 0001-9999.

The line actions are the same as on similar Reports list panels. See Performance List report.

Enter line action S to select a report in the list.

Use this panel to specify report options and record selection criteria for the WebSphere MQ report. The only mandatory option is the Report Output DDname. You can let the other options default.

The options are:
MQ System Selection
System Selection identifies the MQ Subsystems and associated SMF files that you want to report against. Any combination of MQ SSID, Image, or Group can be specified but must be defined in System Definitions. You can use Prompt (F4) to select from a list. To link directly to System Definitions, select Systems in the action bar.
Specify either:
  • An MQ SSID.
  • An MQ SSID for a particular Image. This identifies a particular MQ Subsystem when there is more than one with the same ID.
  • An Image. CICS PA will report on all MQ systems running on this Image using the SMF files defined for the Image.
  • An MQ SSID and Image combination plus a Group. This is useful to uniquely identify a system when there is more than one of the same name defined in System Definitions.
  • A Group alone. CICS PA will report on all MQ systems in the Group to produce a single consolidated report.

CICS PA uses the System Selection in JCL generation to build the SSID(ssid1,ssid2,ssid3,...) and INput(SMFIN001,SMFIN002,SMFIN003,...) operands, and corresponding //SMFINnnn DD statements.

Report Output DDname
The DDname for the report output which CICS PA uses when generating the JCL to run the Report Set. The DDname is mandatory and should be unique to separate the output of multiple reports.

CICS PA assigns a default DDname MQ00nnnn where nnnn is a sequential number 0001-9999 to ensure each report has a unique DDname.

This option generates the OUTPUT(ddname) operand.

Print Lines per Page
The maximum number of lines, including headings, to print on each page of the report. Valid values are from 1 to 255. The default is 60.

The global value applies to all reports. If a value is specified on this report panel, the report value takes precedence over the global for this report only.

CICS PA JCL generation translates this field to the LINECount(nnn) operand.

Reports Required
Enter / to select the reports you want produced.
  • Select List to request the WebSphere MQ List report. This selection generates the LIST operand.
  • Select Summary to request the WebSphere MQ Summary report. This selection generates the SUMMARY operand and is the default.
Process Accounting Class Records
Select the type of MQ accounting data to process. Select either:
  1. Class 1 to request that the reports process MQ Class 1 records only. This is the default. This selection generates the CLASS1 operand.
  2. Class 3 to request that the reports process MQ Class 3 records only. This selection generates the CLASS3 operand.
If you need to report both Class 1 and Class 3 data, define another MQ report. CICS PA will produce both reports in a single pass of the data.
Sort Summary by
Specify the required sorting sequence of the Summary report. You can order the Summary report by one of the following:
  1. Transaction ID. This generates the SORT(TRAN) operand and is the default.
  2. WebSphere Queue name. This generates the SORT(QUEUE) operand.
  3. Transaction ID, then Queue name. This generates the SORT(TRAN,QUEUE) operand.
  4. Queue name, then Transaction ID. This generates the SORT(QUEUE,TRAN) operand.
Report Filter
Specify a Queue name to select records for a particular WebSphere MQ queue name. You can specify a pattern such as CICSMQ* to include more than one queue name. The queue name is case-sensitive.

This option generates the QNAME(name) operand.

Title
Title of the report. Specify up to 128 characters of text to describe the report. CICS PA concatenates the two lines of 64 exactly as entered to make one line which prints at the top of each page of the report below the heading. The default is blank (no title).

This option generates the TITLE1('left-half') and TITLE2('right-half') operands.

Performance Selection Criteria
The fields that can be specified in Selection Criteria for filtering MQ accounting (SMF 116) records are:
APPLID
CICS APPLID
TRAN
CICS Transaction ID
TASKNO
CICS Task ID
START
MQ Thread Begin Time
STOP
MQ Thread End Time

Line Actions: Valid line actions are:
Display the menu of line actions.

Select to display the subpanel where Selection Criteria can be specified for this report. For details, see Specifying Selection Criteria.
A
Activate the Selection Criteria so they are generated for this report when the Report Set is submitted. Selection Criteria can only be activated if one or more Select Statements are specified and not all are excluded. An asterisk * indicates they are active.
D
Deactivate the Selection Criteria. Any you have specified here will not be used.
