Default Performance Data Extract

The command to create the default Performance Data Extract file is:
CICSPA EXTRACTPERFORMANCE
To tailor the extract file, specify extract options as follows:
CICSPA EXTRACTPERFORMANCE(
         [OUTPUT(ddname),]
         [DDNAME(ddname),]
         [DELIMIT('field-delimiter'),]
         [LABELS|NOLABELS,]
         [SELECT(PERFORMANCE(INCLUDE|EXCLUDE(field1(values1),...),
                            ...))])

The performance data extract is created using a subset of the CMF performance class data. The CMF exception class data is not used.

CICS PA extracts the data values from the CMF performance class records, formats them, and then adds a field delimiter after each field. The default field delimiter is a semicolon (;) but can be changed by specifying the DELIMIT operand.

If any of the required data fields were not collected by the CICSĀ® Monitoring Facility, a message is issued and the field in the extract record contains zeros or Missing.

The DDname for the Extract data set defaults to CPAOEXPT. The CICS PA dialog generates DDnames in the format CPAOEXnn where nn is a sequence number 01-99. The DDname can be overridden by using the DDNAME operand.
