5.2.7 CICS System Activity File (CICCSY)

The CICS System Activity File contains data quantifying the
total activity for the entire CICS system, including all
users.  Resource consumption, service, availability, and
performance measures are included.  The CICS system's service
(response), load, and usage are stored in the DETAIL
timespan.  Total usage resides in the DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS,
and YEARS timespans.  This file is derived from the global
system activity records generated by CMF, or depending on
your CICS Version, CICS TS Statistics records, or the system
checkpoint records produced by the Monitor.  For a detailed
description of the data sources required to populate this
file, refer to section 6.1 of this guide.
