Use Personal System Definitions to define your CICS® (and other related) systems and their SMF files.
Before you can run reports using Personal System Definitions, you must first define the CICS and related systems that you want to report against. You can fast-track this process by using Take-up. Simply specify an SMF file that contains records from the systems that you want to report against, and CICS PA will create system definitions for you based on the records in that file.
To walk through an example of how to do this, see Example: Working with Personal Systems.
At Report Set run time, CICS PA automatically generates JCL that includes:
The version of your CICS system determines which CMF fields are available for reporting and your MCT specification allows you to incorporate user fields into your reports.
Your MCT specification allows you to incorporate user fields into your extracts.
