CICS Transaction Groups

The CICS regions transaction group metrics appear under the folders: CICS Regions|<region name>|Transaction Groups|<Group name>.

Metrics are shown for transactions groups, not individual transactions. The CICS transaction groups are defined in CA SYSVIEW.

You can configure what transaction groups are monitored for the CICS regions in your environment.

Note: The Cross-Enterprise_APM_Dynamic.properties file contains the configuration. For more information, see Installation Guide.

Average CPU Time (µs): Displays the average CPU time that is used in microseconds.
Average File Control Time (µs): Displays the average file control time in microseconds.
Average Lifetime (µs): Displays the average lifetime of the transaction in microseconds.
Average Suspend Time (µs): Displays the average time that is spent in a suspended state in microseconds.
Average Waiting to Run Time (µs): Displays the average time spent waiting to run in microseconds.
Elapsed Time Since the Transaction Last Ran (sec): Displays the time that has elapsed in seconds since the last transaction ran in seconds.
Executed Transaction Count (This Interval): Displays an aggregate of the number of times the transaction executed.
Last Date Since the Transaction Ran: Displays the date since the last transaction ran.
Last Time Since the Transaction Ran: Displays the time since the last transaction ran.
Transaction Rate (Last System Interval): Displays the transaction rate within the last system interval.
