The systems and data files that you want to report against must first be
defined to
CICS PA. The dialog provides two ways to do this:
- Personal System Definitions
- System definitions that are typically maintained by you and used by
you for reporting. The definitions are saved in your Personal Profile Library
in CICS PA Settings.
- Shared System Definitions
- System definitions that are typically maintained by a central administrator
and used by all permitted users for reporting. The definitions are saved in
the HDB Register.
Shared System Definitions can be maintained in a number of ways:
- Individually specify systems and their related files
- Individually specify groups and their related systems
- Take-up systems, files, and groups from personal System Definitions
- Take-up systems and files from SMF Files
Only the Take-up from SMF Files has a batch component described in this
book. The other maintenance processes are dialog processes described in the CICS® Performance
Analyzer for z/OS® User's Guide.
