Running the affinity report
Purpose of the report and assumptions to make.
The affinity report has two main purposes:
- To help you understand the affinities present in the CICS® region concerned.
- To help you modify the affinity transaction-group-definitions before they are given to the Builder, if such modification is required.
You must be able to investigate whether any application changes could reduce the amount of affinity.
- Assume that the affinity information is complete.
- Assume that any worsening of affinity relation or affinity lifetime by the Collector does not create too pervasive an affinity, making dynamic routing less effective.
