To focus on a particular aspect about a CICS region, you
can create a scenario-based collection for a single CICS® region. You can select the type of collection
that you want to run and the resource types that you want to be included.
Depending on which collection you select, the CICS IA options for
the specific scenario-based collection are turned on before the collector
is started.
