When you use the CICS® PA plug-in, you can analyze
CMF performance data that has been extracted and formatted as a CSV
file using CICS Performance
Analyzer for z/OS®. You must
not edit or change the CSV data in any way otherwise errors are likely
to occur. You can view data that you have extracted in the past, however,
if you want to see new data from version 3.2 you must extract it from
the PA host database.
Procedure
- Collect your performance class data using CMF. For further
information see the CICS Monitoring
Facility topic in the CICS Performance
Guide.
- Using CICS Performance
Analyzer for z/OS, create an
Exported Performance Data Extract using the summary report form EXPLORE3.
You must use a comma as the field delimiter. For more information
see Exported Performance Data Extract in the CICS Performance Analyzer for z/OS documentation.
- Download the CSV file to your workstation using FTP or
another file transfer method. The file extension must be .csv.
What to do next
You can now load the data into the
CICS PA plug-in. See the
Displaying CSV data topic for more information.
