Shared System Definitions

The systems and data files that you want to report against must first be defined to CICS PA. The dialog provides two ways to do this:
Personal System Definitions
System definitions that are typically maintained by you and used by you for reporting. The definitions are saved in your Personal Profile Library in CICS PA Settings.
Shared System Definitions
System definitions that are typically maintained by a central administrator and used by all permitted users for reporting. The definitions are saved in the HDB Register.
Shared System Definitions can be maintained in a number of ways:
  1. Individually specify systems and their related files
  2. Individually specify groups and their related systems
  3. Take-up systems, files, and groups from personal System Definitions
  4. Take-up systems and files from SMF Files

Only the Take-up from SMF Files has a batch component described in this book. The other maintenance processes are dialog processes described in the CICS® Performance Analyzer for z/OS® User's Guide.
