7.3.2.4 STATCOPY Statement

The STATCOPY statement allows you to copy CICS statistics
data to a sequential tape file during DAILY processing.
STATCOPY is only available to CMF users who are running CICS
release 3.1 and higher.  By creating a sequential file with
only statistics data, you are able to analyze a smaller
amount of data using programs such as IBM's DFHSTUP without
inputting the entire SMF data set.

The STATCOPY statement has no parameters. It is specified as:

STATCOPY

If you do not want to copy any statistics data on tape,
simply omit this statement from prefix.MICS.PARMS(CICOPS).

By default, STATCOPY will copy all CICS 3.1 and higher
statistics data to tape during DAILY processing.  However,
the exit USRSTAT is available for you to selectively copy a
subset of the statistics data.  See section 10.2.3 for
detailed information on coding the USRSTAT exit.

Prior to running the DAILY with STATCOPY option activated,
you must first define the tape GDG for the sequential output
file.  This is accomplished by executing the job CICGDGGN.
See section 9.3.4 for information related to the CICGDGGN
job.  See section 10.1.4 for the specific instructions on
activating the STATCOPY feature.
