Personal System Definitions

The systems and data files that you want to report against must be defined to CICS PA. The Personal System Definitions Menu provides options to do this. Typically your personal definitions are maintained by you and used by you for reporting. They are saved in your Personal Profile Library (CICS® PA Settings). This contrasts with Shared System Definitions which are typically maintained by a central administrator and used by all users for reporting. They are saved in the HDB Register.

To define your systems, files, and groups, select option 1 Personal Systems from the Primary Option Menu. Alternatively, you can select Systems in the action bar of reporting panels, or enter SYSDEFS in the command line anywhere in the dialog.
