Using the Statistics reporting dialog
The CICS PA dialog provides comprehensive reporting for the following types of statistics:
- CICS® statistics and server
statistics in SMF 110 records with the following subtypes:
- 2
- CICS Statistics
- 3
- Shared Temporary Storage Server Statistics
- 4
- Coupling Facility Data Table Server Statistics
- 5
- Named Counter Sequence Number Server Statistics
- CICS Transaction Gateway statistics in SMF 111 records
Short-term in-depth analysis or long-term trend analysis for your CICS statistics is available via the Historical Database (HDB) and Statistics Reporting facilities.
CICS PA statistics
reporting complements the CICS utilities
DFH0STAT and DFHSTUP. The CICS PA Statistics
dialog presents CICS statistics
in a similar way to DFH0STAT, the CICS sample
statistics program. It does not accumulate and report statistics intervals
like DFHSTUP.
- Specify an SMF File or HDB. A list of CICS statistics intervals for all systems is displayed.
- Select the interval. A menu of statistics categories and reports is displayed.
- Select the report. The statistics report is displayed. There are
two types of reports: label reports or tabular reports:
- In label-based reports, fields are reported vertically. This is used when there is only one record for the report, typically an overview report.
- In tabular reports, fields are reported horizontally. This format is displayed when there can be multiple records in the report, typically for CICS resources.
- Sort on any column in the report, ascending or descending, using point-and-shoot column heading underlines.
- Hyperlink to related reports using point-and-shoot field values.
- Press Help (F1) to display descriptions of all fields in the report, together with their CICS field name and DB2® column name.
- Press Form (F6) to edit the Report Form which controls the fields that are displayed in the report.
For more information on understanding and interpreting the CICS statistics data in the reports, see "Using CICS statistics" in the CICS Transaction Server for z/OS® Performance Guide. For more information on understanding and interpreting the CICS Transaction Gateway statistics data in the reports, see "Monitoring and Statistics" in CICS Transaction Gateway: z/OS Administration.
In addition to reporting statistics using the dialog, you can also process statistics in Statistics Alert batch reports and extract statistics to delimited text files. For details, see Statistics alert reporting and Statistics extract.
