3.1.1.11 CICCWC: Weekly CICS Service

The Weekly CICS Service inquiry produces a color graph which
correlates CICS workload and average response time for the
past 9 weeks.  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:

    CICCWC (color graphic format)

DATA SOURCE (file/timespan):

    CICCSY file from weekly history file.

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
    WEEK     - Week 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.

             For this inquiry, the default is 01-09 cycles.


     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.

     DATE   - Optionally, enter start of the report period in
              ddmmmyy format.

             For this inquiry, the default is the last nine
             weeks.

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

     BY  -    Optionally, specify the BY variable (either
              SYSID or CICSID) to produce separate graphs for
              each system.  Otherwise, all SYSIDs and CICSIDs
              are summarized together and displayed on one
              graph.

     RESP   - Optionally, select the type of responses to be
              ranked.  The response types are AVG, SHORT,
              MED, LONG, or CONV.  The default value is AVG
              which produces ranking by average response
              seconds.

     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:

     %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.
