Using the Product in a CICS Environment › Summary Statistics Panels

Summary Statistics Panels

The following panels are examples of CICS summary statistics panels.

All the summary statistics panels show the following information:

• when the statistics were requested
• the last time the statistics counters were reset

  Reset of requested statistics occurs when

  • CICS starts
  • A COLLECT STATISTICS or PERFORM STATISTICS was issued with a RESET parameter
  • The expiry of a statistics interval occurs, such as at CICS midnight

  You must always check the reset time to establish the validity of the summary statistics for the desired analysis period. Note that not all statistics are reset to zero when a reset occurs. See the CICS Performance Guide for the reset characteristics of individual statistics fields.

  Transactions do not reset any statistics counters.

The Help panels provide a description of each statistic. For more information about the help panels, see the CICS Performance Guide.

If the COLLECT_TRANSACTION has not been run, or if this feature has been turned off (see the Installation Guide), all Summary Statistics displays show NO DATA.
