CICS system selection

Specifies the CICS® system(s) to be reported.
CICS APPLID
Specifies the CICS system(s) to be reported.
If specified:
  1. CICS PA looks for the first exact System Definition match. If found, the files for this CICS System Definition are used.
  2. Otherwise, CICS PA looks for the first pattern System Definition match. If found, the files for this System Definition are used. For example, specifying CICSD1 will match CICS System Definition CICSD*.
  3. Otherwise, if the Image is specified, CICS PA looks for an Image System Definition match. If found, the files for the Image System Definition are used.
  4. Otherwise, the CICS system is deemed to be undefined and you are prompted to correct your specification.

The APPLID operand identifies the specified CICS system. For example: APPLID(CICSD1).

If CICS APPLID is not specified, then Image or Group must be specified.

Image
Specifies the MVS™ Image of the CICS systems to be reported.
  1. If specified in conjunction with a CICS APPLID, then Image is only used to further qualify the CICS system to be reported.
  2. If specified without a CICS APPLID, then CICS PA looks for an exact Image System Definition match. If found, the files for the Image System Definition are used and CICS PA will report against all APPLIDs with data in these files (by specifying the NOAPPLID operand).
  3. Otherwise, the Image is deemed to be undefined and you are prompted to correct your specification.
Group
Specifies the Group of the CICS system(s) to be reported.
  1. If specified in conjunction with a CICS APPLID, then Group is only used to further qualify the CICS system to be reported.
  2. If specified without a CICS APPLID, then CICS PA looks for an exact Group System Definition match. If found, the files for all systems in the Group are used and CICS PA will report against all APPLIDs in the Group. The APPLID operand identifies the CICS systems in the specified Group. For example: APPLID(CICSPTOR,CICSPAOR,CICSPFOR).
  3. Otherwise, the Group is deemed to be undefined and you are prompted to correct your specification.

When the CICS System Selection specifies a Group, and the DB2® and Logger System Selections are not specified, then CICS PA will report against all DB2 subsystems and Loggers in this Group.
