June 2011: updates to V3.2

APAR PM30692 includes the following new features and changes:

Support for CICS® Transaction Server V4.2
All CICS PA reports, HDB, and the ISPF dialog support CICS Transaction Server for z/OS® (CICS TS) V4.2, which is known by CICS PA as CICS Version 670.
New Transaction Tracking List report and Summary report
CICS TS V4.2 introduces Previous Hop (PH) data to the CMF record. CICS PA provides a new Transaction Tracking List report and Transaction Tracking Summary report to exploit these fields and the originating transaction data fields that were introduced in CICS TS V3.2.
Two new CICS PA-specific fields are available for use in the new reports:
  • OSLATNCY reports the latency since the start of the originating transaction.
  • PHLATNCY reports the latency between the start times of the current transaction and the previous hop transaction.
Sample Statistics Alert definitions
Two new sample Alert Definitions, CTSSERVR and CTGSAMPL, are provided for use when defining statistics alerts. The two existing sample Alert Definitions KEYALERT and SAMPLES have been updated and renamed CTSKEY and CTSSAMPL.
New sample Report Forms
Eleven new sample Report Forms PHCSUM1 to PHPSUM4 are provided to help you analyze transaction flow using the new CMF Previous Hop data.
Run reports directly from a Report Form
New primary commands RUN and JCL enable you to run reports directly from a Report Form.
Support for generic APPLID in HDB definition
HDB definition now accepts masking in the APPLID field.
Support for DB2® 10 for z/OS
CICS PA now supports DB2 10 for z/OS.
