Transaction measurement data

There is one sample record created for each in-flight transaction during each sampling interval. A transaction is only sampled if it was specified when the Observation Request was created. For some reports the sample records are analyzed to produce CPU usage and Service Time by transaction. These reports describe the load that a transaction is placing on the CICS® region.

The sample record consists of transaction state data captured during a sampling interval. This information is used to generate the Session Activity report. This report highlights the state of sampled transactions. State information includes:
  1. Whether the transaction was running or suspended (active or not)
  2. Module information where it was running
  3. Module information where to be resumed if suspended
  4. Information on the CICS service executing on behalf of the application (if applicable)
