You can use the reports that are provided in the CICS® PA plug-in to help you tune
and manage the performance of your CICS systems,
and plan capacity for future use. Alternatively, you can use the statistics
visualization views to obtain this information.
About this task
Consider using the statistics visualization views first,
because they can provide relevant information without needing to set
up and run reports.
Reports are useful if you need to retrieve
information that is not in the statistics visualization views, or
you are already familiar with using reports. You can use reports to
retrieve a subset of the data in your database in a graphical format,
so you can see data trends in your system. To view single transactions
that might require your attention, see Viewing statistics alerts.
