5.2.8.3 CICCMR Usage Considerations


This section identifies some special considerations or
techniques related to using the CICCMR File.

1.  The CICCMR File is available only when The Monitor for
    CICS is the input data source and The Monitor is at
    release 8.0 or above.  The input to this file consists of
    MRO segments contained within The Monitor's Detail
    Transaction record.

    Refer to Section 10.1.13 for information on activating
    this file.

2.  The USRSCMR exit can be used to limit the amount of data
    to be summarized into the CICCMR File.  This can be done
    coding the exit to reject a MRO segment from further
    processing.

3.  The ENDTS and STARTTS, when appearing in the DAYS, WEEKS,
    MONTHS, or YEARS timespans, bound the span of time over
    which the data has been summarized, with STARTTS being
    the lowest date and time, and ENDTS the highest date and
    time for the data summarized.
