CICS SMF Summary Definitions

When your application workload is distributed across multiple online regions, it is helpful to define region summary definitions.

All information about each of the single regions that are assigned to a summary region are put together and stored under the defined summary region name.

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

Select option C5 on the Parameters Menu to access the CICS SMF Aggregation Control panel shown following.
