Statistics reports

The Statistics reports are produced from CICSĀ® statistics data stored in SMF files.

List
The Statistics List report provides fully customizable batch reporting of CICS TS and CICS TG statistics records.

These reports are arranged in tabular form with records from multiple intervals combined on the same page. Interval identification information columns including System Interval type and time are displayed before the interval data. This compact format allows easy reading and comparison of multi-interval or system data.

See Statistics List reports.

Statistics Alert reports
Process CICS Transaction Server and CICS Transaction Gateway statistics records. Before producing a Statistics Alert report, you must use the CICS PA dialog to create a Statistics Alert definition. A Statistics Alert definition specifies conditions, in terms of statistics field values, that interest you. When you request a Statistics Alert report, you specify the Statistics Alert definition that you want to use. The report identifies any statistics in the input data that match the conditions in the definition. For more information, see Statistics Alert reports.

In addition to producing these reports as part of a Report Set, from data stored in SMF files, you can also produce these reports outside of a Report Set, from data stored in a Statistics HDB.
