This comprehensive view of transactions enables you to identify problem transactions across CICS® regions and z/OS® images for the CICSplex. This workspace displays data provided by the CICSplex Transaction Analysis attribute group.
The predefined Transaction Analysis workspace contains the following views:
You can add the System Task filtering column to the table view to identify CICS system tasks and non CICS system tasks. You modify the query for the Transaction Analysis workspace to include the appropriate setting (Yes or No) for the System Task column.
The Transaction Analysis table view provides links to these workspaces:
It also provides links to the Transaction Details in 3270 and Online Data Viewing in 3270 views of the OMEGAMON 3270 interface. When you right-click a link icon in the Transaction Analysis table view and select Transaction Details in 3270 or Online Data Viewing in 3270, you must enter your terminal session user credentials in the dialog and click OK. A terminal view is displayed within the workspace, with the appropriate details. Using this panel, you can examine much more historical data than is available in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal workspace.
Note that each of these predefined workspace links to a 3270 session has an associated sample script. You should review these scripts prior to using them in your environment.
You can link to the Detailed Thread Exception workspace provided by the OMEGAMON XE for DB2 on z/OS product for the selected DB2® Correlation identifier, which allows you to track a transaction and the activity as it moves between the CICS and DB2 products.
Likewise, you can link to its Single DB2 Thread Summary workspace, of the OMEGAMON XE for DB2 on z/OS product filtered by the DB2 Correlation identifier. With this feature, you retrieve detail data about the running transaction.
If the OMEGAMON XE for IMS on z/OS product is also installed and running, you can link to its DBCTL Detailed Thread Activity (Active) workspace, filtered by the CICS Jobname and CICS Task Number columns. With this feature, you track a transaction and the activity as it moves between the CICS and IMS™ products.

You can purge multiple executing transactions in a single invocation of the Take Action command with the multiple-line-kill function. You can highlight multiple rows in the Transaction Analysis workspace; the right-click action menu now includes a Purge selected tasks option. A confirmation dialog is displayed allowing you to change the requested action to include a Force Purge.
To use the feature, navigate to the Transaction Analysis workspace for the appropriate CICS region.
