Systems
The systems specified in System Definitions are your CICS® and other related systems that are eligible for report processing by CICS PA.
Each system is identified by its name, type, and optionally, its
image:
- Name
- The primary system identifier.
- Type
- Five system types are supported:
- CICS
- CICS Transaction Server region or CICS Transaction Gateway region. The system name is the CICS Transaction Server generic APPLID or the CICS Transaction Gateway APPLID.
- Image
- MVS™ Image where your CICS regions run. The system name is usually the MVS SMF ID but it can be a unique arbitrary name.
- DB2®
- DB2 subsystem that services your CICS regions. The system name is the DB2 subsystem ID.
- MQ
- WebSphere® MQ subsystem that services your CICS regions. The system name is the MQ subsystem ID.
- Logger
- MVS System Logger used by your CICS regions. The system name is an arbitrary name that represents the MVS System Logger.

- Optionally, CICS, DB2, MQ and Logger systems can be further qualified by specifying the Image (MVS SMF ID) where they run.
