7.3.2.3 RESP Statement

The RESP statement defines seven response time threshold
limits that are used by the CA MICS Analyzer Option for CICS
for CICS response time distribution calculations.  A RESP
statement is required if you are processing CICS data and you
have coded one or more CICOPTS statements in CICOPS.
 
If your DAY040 step only processes CICS Transaction Gateway
SMF type 111 records, you do not need a RESP statement.
 
The RESP statement format is:
 
RESP limit1 limit2 limit3 limit4 limit5 limit6 limit7
 
where:
 
limit1-limit7 = Each response time threshold limit is defined
                in seconds.  It can be one to four digits,
                with a maximum value of 3600.  Subsecond
                response time limits are coded in the form
                .nnn.  The limits can be separated by one or
                more blanks.
 
Sample RESP statement:
 
RESP .25 .50 .75 1 5 10 15
 
With the above response time limits, the CA MICS Analyzer
Option for CICS accumulates response distribution counters
for each transaction as illustrated below:
 
   (fffTDSTx)                    (fffTRSTM)
Response counter 1:        0 <    response   <=   .25
Response counter 2:      .25 <    response   <=   .50
Response counter 3:      .50 <    response   <=   .75
Response counter 4:      .75 <    response   <=  1
Response counter 5:     1    <    response   <=  5
Response counter 6:     5    <    response   <= 10
Response counter 7:    10    <    response   <= 15
Response counter 8:    15    <    response
 
Note that the CA MICS Analyzer Option for CICS creates an
eighth counter to capture all response events that are
greater than limit 7 as defined by the RESP statement.
