CICS PA dialog and concepts

CICS PA is based on the following concepts which are reflected in the Primary Option Menu of the CICS PA dialog:
  1. Personal and Shared System Definitions
  2. Report Sets
  3. Report Forms
  4. Object Lists
  5. Historical Database
  6. Statistics reporting
  7. Transaction Profiling
  8. CICS PA resources: Resource Lists, Application Groups, Performance Alert Definitions, CPU Service Unit Conversion Factors

The CICS PA dialog is an ISPF-based menu-driven dialog that helps you create, maintain and submit your report requests. It also helps you to specify your input data and tailor requests specific to your requirements without you having to understand the SMF data.

For detailed information on the CICS PA dialog and general concepts see the CICS PA User's Guide.
