Summary Definitions

Application workload is very often distributed across multiple online regions. In this situation, you can define region summary definitions by using the CICS SMF feature.

For example, if the SMF data contains information about transactions from regions CICSPRD1 and CICSPRD2 and there is a summary definition CICSPROD containing the 2 regions, then all information available for the 2 single regions will be aggregated under CICSPROD.

See CICS SMF Summary Definitions for more information about defining summary definitions.
