The CICS PA Explorer is an Eclipse plugin that operates
on top of the IBM CICS Explorer to help you analyze CICS performance
data.
The CICS Monitoring Facility (CMF) produces performance class data,
which is formatted as comma separated variable (csv) files using the
CICS Performance Analyzer for z/OS. The csv files are then imported
into the CICS PA Explorer for analysis.
Using the CICS PA Explorer, you can perform the following tasks:
- View and sort the csv data in a spreadsheet viewer.
- Select single or multiple transaction for analysis.
- Perform CPU time analysis.
- Perform response time analysis.
- Perform threadsafe analysis.
