04001: CICS Application Exceeds Avg Elapsed Time Standard


FILE:             CICS Application Unit Activity File
SAS FILE NAME:    DAYS.CICCAU01
SOURCE LOCATION:  prefix.MICS.USER.SOURCE(DYCICEXC)

SEVERITY:  Warning             (SEVERITY='W')
MANAGEMENT AREA:  Service      (MGMTAREA='SERVICE')

PURPOSE:   Identifies those CICS applications whose average
elapsed time totalled more than the installation-defined
elapsed time service objective.
RATIONALE:   An installation can set a service objective for
application elapsed time.  Setting the service objective this
way recognizes the importance of servicing a large number of
individual requests while identifying CICS applications that
reserve valuable resources for extended periods.

DEFINITION:  This exception is detected when an individual
application's elapsed time exceeds the installation's elapsed
time objective.
EXCEPTION STATEMENTS:  The SAS statements identifying the
exception situation and describing the condition are stored
in the source member named in SOURCE LOCATION and are
described below.

THRESHOLD MODIFICATION:  Modify the value of seconds to
define the installation service objective according to the
following convention:

    seconds - The number of seconds in the service objective.
       An objective of five seconds appears as:

          SECONDS = 5;
