Extract command

The Cross–System Work extract can be requested from a Report Set in the CICS PA dialog. Select the Cross-System Work extract in the Extracts category.

In batch, the CROSSsystem command is used to request the Cross-System Work extract:
CICSPA CROSSSYSTEM

This is the basic command which produces the default Cross-System Work extract data set. When the extract data set is created, the default is to create a new performance record for a network unit-of-work only when there were multiple records within the same network unit-of-work. A network unit-of-work containing a single performance record is not written to the extract data set unless it is requested. It is possible to request that all tasks, single and multiple, or any other variation, be used to create the extract. For more information on how to do this, see the CICS Performance Analyzer for z/OS® User's Guide, which also discusses how user fields can be included when creating the data set.

To tailor the extract data set, specify extract options as follows:
CICSPA CROSSSYSTEM(
              [DDNAME(ddname),]
              [EXTERNAL(ddname),]
              [SYSID(applid,mvsid),]
              [WRITEMULTIPLE,]
              [NOWRITEMULTIPLE,]
              [WRITESINGLE,]
              [NOPRINT,]
              [CHARACTER(OWNER(owner),LENGTH(nnn),HEADER(header)),]
              [CLOCK(OWNER(owner),NUMBER(nnn),HEADER(header)),]
              [COUNT(OWNER(owner),NUMBER(nnn),HEADER(header)),]
              [COMPRESS|NOCOMPRESS,]
              [SELECT(PERFORMANCE(INCLUDE|EXCLUDE(field1(values1),...),
                                  ...))])
Note:
  1. The DDname used for the cross-system work data set defaults to CPAOCROS. The CICS PA dialog generates DDnames in the format CPAOXSnn where nn is a sequence number 01-99. The DDname can be overridden by specifying the DDNAME operand.
  2. When extract records are written, CICS PA sets the APPLID and MVS™ SMF ID in the new record to your specification in the SYSID operand. The defaults are MULTIPLE and CICS® respectively. The APPLID and MVS ID you specify can then be defined in SMF Input in the CICS PA dialog, along with the Extract data set name. This enables you to use the Extract data set for reporting from the CICS PA dialog.
