Quantification

Each report line displays the number of times a program was called by CICS® services. The report will not show any calls using a direct method such as a branch and link register (BALR). Each report line also quantifies CPU usage as a percentage. Each percentage represents the ratio of CPU consumption observed for the reported program to the total CPU consumption measured in the address space.

Note that the sum of all the percentages will normally be less than 100 percent because only those CICS transactions being measured are quantified in the report, but the percentage is the portion of the total CICS region CPU consumption. Similarly, any CICS region CPU overhead not attributable to CICS transactions will not be quantified in the report.

A program name of "CICS" is used quantify CPU consumption not directly attributable to a CICS program. A CICS program in this report is a program that is defined in the CICS System Definition (CSD) dataset.

Note: The E02 report cannot be directly compared to the C02 CPU Usage report because C02 reports CPU usage by module, and E02 reports CPU directly used by or attributable to a CICS program. For example, CPU time used while processing an EXEC CICS command would be reported in a DFH program in the C02 report, but would be attributed to the CICS application program making the call in the E02 report.
