The CA MICS Analyzer Option for CICS processes CICS
monitoring data produced by IBM's CICS Monitoring Facility
(CMF) and ASG-TMON. It also processes data that has the same
format as these monitors, such as the SMF type 110 look-alike
records produced by OMEGAMON. Finally, it processes SMF type
111 records generated by IBM's CICS Transaction Gateway to
provide information useful for monitoring Gateway performance
and throughput.
The CA MICS Analyzer Option for CICS offers a unified and
easily understood approach to CICS management by providing
the information you need for the systematic planning,
control, and evaluation of CICS. It collects data at the
system and user activity level and writes both detail and
summarized information to the CA MICS database. CA MICS
automatically integrates CICS information with other
information that CA MICS maintains. This is possible because
the CA MICS Analyzer Option for CICS stores information in a
format that is common to all CA MICS components.
You can use the CA MICS Analyzer Option for CICS to track
user-based problems, to perform detailed analyses of CICS
use, and to display information for selected CICS users or
user groups. It provides a set of standard management
objective reports that you can tailor to meet the needs of
all management levels, and a series of summary reports that
provide daily CICS activity and resource usage summaries at
the user level.
The CA MICS Analyzer Option for CICS is one of the many data
integration applications of CA MICS. Like the other data
integration applications, it processes raw data for analyzing
and managing specific technologies.

CA MICS is a comprehensive, flexible application system that
applies standard management practices to the I/S
organization. Designed with a formal architecture, CA MICS
uses integrated applications analogous to the integrated
financial applications that are now indispensable to
corporate financial management.
