3.1.1.7 CICCMC: Monthly CICS Service

The Monthly CICS Service inquiry produces a color graph which
correlates CICS workload and average response time for the
past 6 months.  It enables you to identify a trend in CICS
service and workload.

REPORT FORMAT:

This inquiry produces an overlay plot, using two vertical
axes, which shows the hourly CICS transaction volume and
average response time.  The transaction volume is plotted
against the right vertical axis, while the average response
time against the left.  The transaction volume is further
divided by transaction type (short, medium, long) to show the
workload characteristics.  This plot is available in color
graphic format only.

INQUIRY ID:

     CICCMC (color graphic format)

DATA SOURCE (file/timespan):

     CICCSY file from monthly history file.

     One graph produced for each combination of SYSID/CICSID.

DATA ELEMENTS USED:

     CICSID   - CICS System Identifier
     CSYTRANS - Transactions Processed
     CSYTRSTM - Transaction Response Time Total
     CSYSTRN  - Short Transactions Processed
     CSYMTRN  - Medium Transactions Processed
     CSYLTRN  - Long Transactions Processed
     CSYCTRN  - Conv.  Transactions Processed
     DAY      - Day of Month
     MONTH    - Month of Year
     YEAR     - Year of Century
     ZONE     - Time Zone
     SYSID    - System Identifier

   CALCULATIONS:

     Average response time = CSYTRSTM/CSYTRANS

EXECUTION-TIME PARAMETERS:


     UNIT   - Select one or more CA MICS data base units by
              entering the data base IDs.  Enter multiple IDs
              with a blank following each ID value.


     CYCLE  - Optionally, define CA MICS input file cycle
              range.


     SYSID  - Optionally, specify the SYSID to be reported.
              If no value is specified, the value *ALL is
              used. It causes all SYSIDs found in input to
              be summarized together.


     CICSID - Optionally, specify the CICSID to be reported.
              If no value is specified, the value *ALL is
              used which causes all CICSIDs found in input to
              be summarized together.


     CENTER - Optionally, specify the CENTER to be reported.
              If no value is specified, the value *ALL is
              used which causes all CENTERs found in input to
              be summarized together.  CENTER is a logical
              grouping of SYSIDs which you assign in the
              global exit %GCNTR.  If this exit is not
              defined, CENTER is set to the value of SYSID.


     MONTH  - Optionally, enter the month (mm) and year (yy)
              to be reported.

              For this inquiry, the default is the last 6
              months.

     ZONE   - Optionally, select one or more CA MICS time
              zones.  Valid values are numbers 1 through 9.


     DEVICE - Optionally, override the default colors and
              patterns used by specifying a different device
              type.  The default is TERMINAL.  Because the
              code for color graphics is not generated by
              MICF, the device parameter you specified in
              MICF is not applicable here.


     FOOTNOTE-Optionally, specify whether or not the MICF
              inquiry ID should be displayed as a footnote on
              the graph.  The default value is NO.

USER EXITS:

     If the MICF execution time parameters are insufficient
     to select the data you need, you can invoke one of the
     following global exits to further manipulate the input
     file.  Additionally, you can override the global exit
     definitions in MICF using independent source statements.
     For detailed information on coding the exits, refer to
     Section 3.2 of this guide.

     The global exits are defined by macros in the source
     module CICRPTGL in sharedprefix.MICS.SOURCE.  The
     following exits are available to this inquiry:

     %GAPPL  - Define your CICS application based on any
               variable in the input file.  The default is
               CICAPU.


     %GCIC  -  Select CICSIDs for report.

     %GCNTR -  Assign value to the variable CENTER which
               defines the logical grouping of SYSIDs.
               CENTER is set to SYSID by default.

     %GSYS  -  Select SYSIDs for report.

     In addition to the above exits, the module CICRPTGL also
     contains macro variables which set default values for
     service level objectives.  Please see Section 3.2 to
     override the default values.
