Transaction Tracking List report

The Transaction Tracking List report provides a view of the flow of related transactions through the various CICS® systems. This report allows you to analyze transaction performance from the perspective of transaction flow. Each section of the report describes an originating transaction together with its subordinate group transactions.

To request the report, enter line action S against the Transaction Tracking List Performance Report on the Report Set panel. If reports of this type have been previously specified, the list of Transaction Tracking List reports is displayed. Otherwise, the Transaction Tracking List panel is displayed for you to define your first report of this type.

Use this panel to specify report options and record selection criteria for the Transaction Tracking List report. The mandatory options are the Report Output DDname and the Transaction Tracking List Processing Option. You can let the other options default.

The report options are similar to those for the Performance List Report (see Performance List report), except that:
  • There is no option to specify an Alert definition.
  • Separate Report Forms can be specified for the Origin and Group sections of the report. The report must use a Report Form of a compatible type (that is, LIST).
  • There is an additional processing option:
    Processing Options
    Select option 1 - Origins with multiple records to report only on Origin transactions that have Group transactions. This is the default. This selection generates the PRINTMULTIPLE,NOPRINTSINGLE operand.

    Select option 2 - Origins with a single record to report only on Origin transactions that do not have Group transactions. This selection generates the NOPRINTMULTIPLE,PRINTSINGLE operand.

    Select option 3 - All Origins to report all transactions. This generates the PRINTMULTIPLE,PRINTSINGLE operand.

  • Selection criteria can also be applied as a post-processing step. This is a second level of filtering that determines which Groups are to be included in the report. Only when all of the records in the Group fail this set of selection criteria will the whole group and associated Origin record be excluded from the report.

CICS PA provides a default Report Output DDname in the format TTLSnnnn where nnnn is 0001-9999.
