The Monthly CICS Service Ranking inquiry produces a graph
that identifies the 10 CICS applications with the worst
average response time in a given month.
REPORT FORMAT:
This inquiry produces a horizontal bar chart which shows the
10 applications with the worst average response time. A
sample output of this inquiry is shown in Figure 3-6.
INQUIRY ID:
CICPMB (printer graphic format)
DATA SOURCE (file/timespan):
CICCAU01 in the DAYS timespan.
If the CICCAU (CICS Application Unit Activity) file is
not active, the CICCSU (CICS User Activity) file will be
used for reporting. The variable CICACT2 will be used
in place of the variable CICAPU.
DATA ELEMENTS USED:
CICAPU - CICS Application Unit ID
CICSID - CICS System Identifier
CAUTRANS - Transactions Processed
CAUTRSTM - Transaction Response Time Total
MONTH - Month of Year
YEAR - Year of Century
ZONE - Time Zone
SYSID - System Identifier
CALCULATIONS:
Average response time = CAUTRSTM/CAUTRANS
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 the 01 cycle.
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.
MONTH - Optionally, enter the month (mm) and year (yy)
to be reported.
For this inquiry, the default is last month.
ZONE - Optionally, select one or more CA MICS time
zones. Valid values are numbers 1 through 9.
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.
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.
RANK - Optionally, specify the number of observations
to be ranked.
For this inquiry, the default is 10.
FILE ID- Optionally, select the CICCSU file as input
when the CICCAU file is active. If you specify
this parameter, then you must also specify the
next parameter to indicate which account code
(CICACT1-CICACT9) identifies your CICS
application.
CICAPU - Optionally, replace CICAPU with any of the
CICACTx data elements, where x is 1 to 9. This
parameter must be specified in conjunction with
FILE ID.
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.
