The CA MICS Analyzer Option for CICS uses a number of different input records to build the CICS Information Area (CIC) which, in turn, maintains system and user measurement data on service, availability, load, and user activity. This section defines the use and content of each CA MICS file in the CICS Information Area. o System Activity File (CICCSY) The CICCSY file quantifies total activity for the entire CICS system for all users and provides resource consumption, service, availability, and performance measures. This file is derived, at the DETAIL timespan, from the CMF global records (pre-CICS 3.1.1), the CICS statistics records (CICS 3.1.1 and higher), and ASG-TMON system records. At the DAYS and higher timespans, this file contains information from CMF and ASG-TMON. o User Activity File (CICCSU) The CICCSU file quantifies the resources consumed at the user level using service, load, access, and performance measures that are provided based on user-defined account codes. This file is derived from CMF and ASG-TMON. o Application Unit Activity File (CICCAU) The CICCAU file quantifies the resources consumed at the application level using service, load, access, and performance measures that are provided based on user- defined application unit identifiers. This file is derived from CMF and ASG-TMON. o User Application Count File (CICCAC) The CICCAC file quantifies the number of transactions executed at the user and application unit levels. This file is derived from CMF and ASG-TMON. o Incident File (CICCIN) The CICCIN file quantifies incidents that relate to the operation, performance, or integrity of the CICS system. This file is derived from CMF and ASG-TMON. o Dictionary File (CICCDC) The CICCDC file contains data dictionary information from CMF performance class and pre-CICS 3.1.1 accounting class and exception class data. CICS 3.1.1 and higher releases only produces dictionary records for performance class data. CA MICS requires dictionary records in order to process the CMF data. o File/DBD Activity File (CICCSF) The CICCSF file quantifies file activity. It is derived from the optional file segments of ASG-TMON transaction records. o MRO Activity File (CICCMR) The CICMRO file quantifies MRO activity. It is derived from the optional MRO segments of ASG-TMON transaction records. Figure 1-2 illustrates the data sources and files of the CICS Information Area.
