Accessing data on a database

After you connect to the database on the CICS® PA host, you can display the monitoring and statistics data from that database in the CICS PA plug-in.

Procedure

  1. From the CICS SMF Records view, use the CICS SMF Tables tab to locate and select the type of monitoring or statistics record you require. You can use the filter field to retrieve a list of monitoring or statistics record types that match your filter, or expand the record categories.

    For more information about the categories, see CICS SMF Records view.

  2. Click the Selected records tab, then click the APPLIDs that you require. The monitoring or statistics data for each selected APPLID is displayed in the Sheet view. The title of the view shows the type of monitoring or statistics record, with the number of records in parentheses.
  3. Optional: You can filter the available records in a number of ways, for example, by date and time, by APPLID, and by Transaction ID. For details, see Refining the data selection.
