In CICS® PA V5R2,
statistics list forms were stored in a repository rather than in a report forms data set. In
CICS PA
V5R3, you can view the statistics list
forms that are in the repository, and migrate them to the report forms data set so that you can
continue to use them.
About this task
A statistics list form in the repository can contain more than one report whereas a form in the
report forms data set is associated with only a single report. Therefore, you can enter line action
M for each report you want to migrate and, for each report, you are prompted to enter the
name of the new report form in which to store the report.
Procedure
To migrate statistics list reports from the repository to the report forms data
set:
- Select option 8 Resource Definitions from the CICS PA Primary Option Menu.
- Select option 6 Statistics Forms. The Statistics Form Definitions list panel displays all of the statistics
list form definitions in the current repository:
- Select the statistics list form that contains the report. The reports in the form are listed in a tree structure. The Modified indicator shows which
reports have been modified for reporting. You do not need to migrate unmodified forms; you can
create them using the normal procedure to create forms.
- Enter line action M for each report you want to migrate. You are prompted to enter a definition name, which is the name of a new report form to create
for the first report you selected to migrate. The report form is created in the report forms data
set.
- Enter the name of the new report form. A message in the upper right of the dialog informs you that the new report form is
saved. If you chose line action M for other reports, you are prompted to enter the name of the
new report form for each report until you have entered all the names.
What to do next
Create or edit a statistics list report and use the new report form to specify the contents
and layout of the report.
