Viewing transaction performance alerts

The Transaction Performance Alerts view provides details of performance alerts that CICS® PA has captured from CICS Transaction Server and loaded into the host DB2® database. You can use this view to monitor and report significant transaction performance conditions that are based on predefined thresholds. You can monitor CICS transactions for performance compliance, including service level monitoring, and problem detection.

About this task

User-defined thresholds are set for specified CMF performance data in the performance alert definition on the CICS PA host. For details, see Performance alerts in CICS Performance Analyzer product documentation.

The CMF performance data for transactions that might cause an alert is compared with the defined thresholds, and any transactions that exceed the threshold values are reported. Performance alerts are reported by severity.
