Statistics reporting

CICS PA provides comprehensive reporting of CICS® Statistics stored in SMF files or historical databases. We will have a brief look at the statistics in the Record Selection Extract data set we created earlier. It is best to use smaller SMF files for interactive analysis.

For online statistics reporting:
  1. Select option 6 Statistics from the Primary Option Menu.
  2. The CICS Statistics Reporting Menu is displayed.

    Specify the data set name of an SMF file to browse. Statistics Reporting is interactive so for efficiency, use smaller SMF files such as the Record Selection extract file 'GSG.RECSEL.EXTRACT' that you created in an earlier session. Set Filter Criteria to NO to show all intervals. Select option 4 to process the SMF file and press Enter.

  3. Select statistics intervals of different types to analyze.
