OMEGAMON reports

The OMEGAMON reports process OMEGAMON® XE for CICS® (SMF 112) records to produce a detailed view of how CICS transactions use the following types of database management system (DBMS):

For each type of DBMS, you can request up to three reports:

The information in each report varies depending on the type of DBMS, but typically includes elapsed times and counts for each of the methods that transactions use to access a database, such as read, write, add, update, and delete.

To request one or more of these reports, enter line action S against the OMEGAMON Subsystem Report on the Report Set panel. If reports of this type have been previously specified, the list of OMEGAMON reports is displayed. Otherwise, the OMEGAMON panel is displayed for you to define your first report of this type.

Use this panel to specify report options and record selection criteria for the OMEGAMON reports. The only mandatory option is the Report Output DDname. You can let the other options default.

The options are:

CICS System Selection
Identifies the CICS APPLID(s) whose data you want to select for processing.

You can specify any combination of APPLID, Image, or Group, but these must be defined in your System Definitions. If you do not specify System Selection here or in the Global Options, then you are prompted at run time to specify the System Selection. This will apply globally to all reports and extracts without their own System Selection. This is recommended as it allows you to run your Report Sets against any of your defined Systems. Press the Prompt key (F4) to select from a list of defined Systems, Images, or Groups. To modify your System Definitions, select Systems in the action bar.

Specify one of the following:
  • A CICS APPLID. An APPLID that matches a defined System's name pattern is also allowed. For example, CICSP1 can be specified if CICSP* is a defined system.
  • An APPLID and an MVS™ Image. This identifies the MVS Image where your CICS system runs.
  • An MVS Image. All CICS systems executing on this MVS Image is selected.
  • An APPLID and Image combination plus a Group. This is useful for uniquely identifying a CICS system when there are multiple CICS systems with the same name defined.
  • A Group alone. CICS PA will select all CICS APPLIDs defined to the Group. For example, for transaction grouping, or for systems that connect via IRC/MRO, ISC/APPC, or IPIC.

CICS PA uses the System Selection in JCL generation to build the APPLID(applid1,applid2,applid3,...) and INput(SMFIN001,SMFIN002,SMFIN003,...) operands, and corresponding //SMFINnnn DD statements.

System Selection can also be specified either:
  • In Global Options. The report-level specification takes precedence over the global.
  • At run time. The run-time System Selection overrides the Global Options and optionally the report-level specification.
Report Output DDname
The DDname for the report output which CICS PA uses when generating the JCL to run the Report Set. The DDname is mandatory and should be unique to separate the output of multiple reports.

CICS PA assigns a default DDname OMEGnnnn where nnnn is a sequential number 0001-9999 to ensure each report has a unique DDname.

This option generates the OUTPUT(ddname) operand.

Print Lines per Page
The maximum number of lines, including headings, to print on each page of the report. Valid values are from 1 to 255. The default is 60.

The global value applies to all reports. If a value is specified on this report panel, the report value takes precedence over the global for this report only.

CICS PA JCL generation translates this field to the LINECount(nnn) operand.

Reports Required
Enter / to select the reports you want produced:
List
Requests the OMEGAMON List report. This option generates the LIST operand.
Summary
Requests the OMEGAMON Summary report. This option generates the SUMMARY operand.

There are two types of Summary report:

By Transaction
Requests the Transaction Summary report, which groups transaction data into sections for each transaction ID. Within each section, the report shows the transaction data for each database accessed by that transaction ID, followed by total figures for that transaction ID across all databases.

This option generates the SUMMARY(TRAN) operand.

By Database
Requests the Database Summary report, which groups transaction data into sections for each database. Within each section, the report shows the transaction data for each transaction ID that has accessed that database, followed by total figures for that database for all transaction IDs.

This option generates the SUMMARY(DATABASE) operand.

If you select neither List nor Summary, then the generated command will contain neither the LIST operand nor the SUMMARY operand, and so the command will follow its default behavior, which is to produce both types of Summary report.

Summary Options
The statistical functions that the Database Summary and Transaction Summary reports use to summarize transaction data. The options are: average, total, minimum, maximum, standard deviation, and peak percentile. Each option that you select produces additional rows in the reports, with the function name as the row heading.
Statistics to include
Each OMEGAMON (SMF 112) record contains database usage details for a single transaction. A transaction might use one database, or it might use multiple databases from different types of DBMS. For each type of DBMS used by the transaction, the record contains a "totals" segment. For each database used by the transaction, the record contains a "detail" segment. This option specifies whether you want the report to include information from totals segments, details segments, or both:
Total DBMS activity
Includes information from totals segments. This option generates the PRINT(TOTALS) operand.
Individual Database
Includes information from detail segments. This option generates the PRINT(DB) operand.
DBMS Selection
The types of DBMS for which you want to produce reports.
Title
Title of the report. Specify up to 128 characters of text to describe the report. CICS PA concatenates the two lines of 64 exactly as entered to make one line which prints at the top of each page of the report below the heading. The default is blank (no title).

This option generates the TITLE1('left-half') and TITLE2('right-half') operands.

Performance Selection Criteria
You can specify Selection Criteria to filter the OMEGAMON (SMF 112) records on time period and field values to restrict reporting to the data that is of interest to you.
CICS PA checks only the following Performance Selection Criteria fields when filtering OMEGAMON records:
APPLID
CICS APPLID
FILENAME
Database (or file) name
NETUOWPX
Originating System VTAM network name
START
Task start time (see Note below)
TASKNO
Transaction identification number
TRAN
CICS transaction ID
UOWID
Unit of work ID
All other fields are ignored.
Note: Report Interval-based selection for OMEGAMON XE for CICS records is limited to the Attach (START) time; the STOP and ACTIVE options are ignored.
Line Actions: Valid line actions are:
Display the menu of line actions.
S
Select to display the subpanel where Selection Criteria can be specified for this report. For details, see Specifying Selection Criteria.
A
Activate the Selection Criteria so they are generated for this report when the Report Set is submitted. Selection Criteria can only be activated if one or more Select Statements are specified and not all are excluded. An asterisk * indicates they are active.
D
Deactivate the Selection Criteria. Any you have specified here will not be used.
