CICS PA Report Forms help you access the wealth of information contained in CICS® Transaction Server CMF Performance records. Report Forms allow you to design your own reports by specifying the fields to include, the order, the format of values, which summary statistics (average, total, minimum, maximum, percentile, range, or standard deviation), and what alert severity levels to include. For example, if you suspect that there is a performance problem with Transient Data, you can create a Report Form that focuses on that aspect of CICS performance.
A library containing more than 180
sample
Report Forms is supplied with CICS PA. The
samples are designed for specific purposes. For example, sample Report
Forms TDLST and TDSUM are suggested formats to help you analyze Transient
Data activity.
We will now design a report to show transaction performance on an hourly basis. In every hour, we want the report to show a summary of every transaction that ran in that hour.
Press Enter to create the Report Forms data set with default attributes. (Otherwise, cancel and go to option 0.3 from the Primary Option Menu to specify the data set name of your choice.)

To help you understand the formatted report, familiarize yourself with the structure of the Report Form. To see all the columns of information, scroll right (F11) or left (F10) to cycle through four views: the field descriptions, data dictionary information, distribution (range) specifications, and performance alert specifications. The default values are appropriate for this exercise. For help on any column, position the cursor within the column and press Help (F1). For an expanded description of any field, enter line action H against the field name.
