Report content

The Transaction Tracking Summary report displays a summary of all transactions associated with an originating transaction. The report lists a summary line for each transaction belonging to the transaction group, including the originating transaction. The report content is based on the tracking key plus a user-specified form. If a form is not specified a default form is used.

Grouping of transactions is based on a tracking key. The tracking key comprises three parts:
  1. Fields that identify the originating transaction (OAPPLID or OTRAN or both).

    You can select APPLID, which specifies the originating CICS APPLID (OAPPLID), or TRAN, which specifies the originating transaction (OTRAN), or both. The default key is APPLID + TRAN.

  2. Fields that identify the 'previous hop' transaction (PHTRAN and PHAPPLID).

    The previous hop identification fields are automatically paired in the report with the corresponding originating transaction fields. That is, if TRAN is selected then PHTRAN will be included and if APPLID is selected then PHAPPLID will be included. The previous hop ID fields are displayed in the first columns of the report line.

  3. User-specified key fields. You can select up to four CMF fields, which are used to display the actual summary data for each originating transaction and each related (previous hop) transaction.

All related transactions are grouped using the OTRAN and OAPPLID field values. They are further broken down by PHTRAN and PHAPPLID to get segregation of previous hop transactions within the origin transaction. Finally, the data is summarized and displayed by previous hop ID and the user-specified key.

When a report form is specified for this report, the following rules apply.
  1. The key fields in the form are replaced by the tracking key.
    Note: This can result in the report page width different to that calculated for the Form.
  2. An error will be generated if PHCOUNT is a field in the Form as it is part of the Tracking key.
  3. Fields with function Severity (SEV) are ignored and are not included in the report.

Transactions with PHCOUNT=0 are considered originating transactions and therefore previous hop (PH) data is not displayed for them in the report.

The following report is an example of the Transaction Tracking Summary report.

For the complete list of performance class data fields that can be selected for the Transaction Tracking Summary report, see the CICS Performance Analyzer for z/OSĀ® User's Guide.

A brief description of the fields in the default report follows. For more details, see the CICS Performance Guide.

PHAPPLID
The APPLID of the CICS system of an immediately previous task in another CICS region with which this task is associated (owner: DFHCICS, field ID: 374). Note that this field is not printed for the originating transaction (PHCOUNT=0).
PHTran
The transaction ID (TRANSID) of the immediately previous task in another CICS system with which this task is associated (owner: DFHCICS, field ID: 377). Note that this field is not printed for the originating transaction (PHCOUNT=0).
PHCount
The number of times there has been a request from one CICS system to another CICS system to initiate a task with which this task is associated (owner: DFHCICS, field ID: 378). This shows the actual hop position of each transaction or APPLID in the group.
APPLID
The APPLID of the CICS system upon which the CMF performance record was created. This field indicates the CICSĀ® system that performed the work recorded in the record.
Tran
The Transaction ID (field: TRAN, owner: DFHTASK, field ID: 001) identifies the name of the transaction that this performance class record represents.
Hop%
The percentage of times this transaction was executed relative to the total number of times the originating transaction was executed in this transaction group.
Tasks
The number of times this transaction was executed in this transaction group.
Avg Response Time
The average response time.
Max Response Time
The maximum response time.
Avg Dispatch Time
The average dispatch time.
Avg User CPU Time
The average CPU time.
Avg Suspend Time
The average suspend time.
Max Suspend Time
The maximum suspend time.
Avg DispWait Time
The average dispatch wait time.
Avg FC Wait Time
The average file control I/O wait time.
Avg FCAMRq Count
The average number of access method calls.
Avg IR Wait Time
The average inter-region (MRO) I/O wait time.
Avg SC24UHWM
The average storage high-water mark below 16MB.
Avg SC31UHWM
The average storage high-water mark above 16MB.
