Previous Topic: CICDTT – CICS Daily Top 10 TransactionsNext Topic: Uses


Overview

The CICDTT query generates two charts for each SYSID and CICS region combination. The query uses the DAYS timespan CICS User Activity file as input, and reports on yesterday’s top ten transactions for each CICS region. This query requires that one of the CA MICS CICACTnn user-defined account codes is set equal to TRANCODE. Before you run the query, update the query TRANCODE derivation to use the CICACTnn value assigned to TRANCODE in your CICACRT Account Routine.

The CICDTT query selects the top nn (default top 10) transactions, by volume, for each CICS region. The top ten transactions are graphically charted using two separate output views.

The first view shows the top ten transactions daily volume using vertical bars, and the average CICS transaction response time for each transaction with a horizontal line.

The second view shows a response time breakdown for the same top ten transactions. The view uses a stacked bar composed of the percentage of response time spent in dispatch, I/O wait, and other wait time. The total transaction count for each CICAPU is displayed with a horizontal line.

The examples shows the charts generated for a CICS region "MR09" executing on system "ASYS." Merging with data from the HARCPU file was not able to determine the Central Processing Complex (CPC) ID, hence the CPC ID is ‘UNKNOWN.’ The first chart shows that the most frequently run transaction is "QELG" with 325,148 executed with an average transaction response time of 0.00474 seconds.

The second chart shows that the "QELG" transaction spent 52 percent of the time waiting on I/O and 10 percent of the time waiting for non-I/O related delays.
