micsrm140
The Monthly CICS Cost Ranking Report identifies the top 10 consumers in CICS chargeable resources.
Report format
 
This inquiry produces a tabular report which contains a summary section and a ranking section. The summary section shows the total cost for the enterprise and for each system. The ranking section identifies the 10 applications with the highest processing cost and provides total consumption of resources that are most often used for charging. A sample output of this inquiry is shown the following figure. Each field in this report is described below:
System summary
 
# REGIONS
Total number of SYSID/CICSID combinations found in input.
SYSID
System identification. This field is set to ALL for data that is summarized for all systems.
TRANS
The total number of transactions processed. For TYPE=ALL, this number excludes transaction type X (TRANTYPE=X as assigned by the CICRLRT exit).
COST (000)
The total processing charges in thousands of dollars.
COST/TRAN
The average cost per transaction.
AVG RESP
The average response time for the transactions processed. For TYPE=ALL, this number excludes transaction type X (TRANTYPE=X as assigned by the CICRLRT exit).
TOTAL CP CPU
The total CP CPU time consumed by this application.
TOTAL SPEC CPU
The total zIIP CPU time consumed by this application.
Ranking section
 
RANK
The ranking, number 1 to 10, in processing cost.
APPL
Application identification.
COST
The total processing charges for the application.
TRANS
The total number of transactions processed for the application.
COST/TRAN
Average cost per transaction for the application.
AVG RESP
The average response time for all transactions processed for this application.
TOTAL CP CPU
The total CP CPU time consumed by this application.
TOTAL SPEC CPU
The total zIIP CPU time consumed by this application.
FC CALLS
The total number of file control calls issued by this application.
DBMS CALLS
The total number of data base calls (DB2 and IMS) issued by this application.
MSGS 
The total number of input and output messages generated by this application (in thousands).
CHAR (000)
The total number of input and output characters generated by this application (in thousands).
AVG STORAGE
The average amount (in 1024 bytes) of terminal and user storage used by this application.
Inquiry ID
 
CICLMR (tabular report)
Data source (file/timespan)
 
CICCAU01 in the MONTHS timespan.
If the CICCAU (CICS Application Unit Activity) file is not active, the CICCSU (CICS User Activity) file is used for reporting. The variable CICACT2 is used in place of the variable CICAPU.
One graph is produced for each combination of SYSID/CICSID.

Calculations
 
Average response time = CAUTRSTM/CAUTRANS Average cost = CAUCOST/SUM(CAUTRANS,CAUETRN) Average storage = CAUMEMRC/SUM(CAUTRANS,CAUETRN)/1024 Total DBMS calls = SUM(CAUDLICC,CAUSQLTO,CICPCT01) Total characters (in thousands) = SUM(CAUINCH,CAUOUTCH)/1000 Total message (in thousands) = SUM(CAUIMSGS,CAUOMSGS)/1000
Execution-time parameters
 
UNIT
Select one or more
MICS database
units by entering the data base IDs. Enter multiple IDs with a blank following each ID value.
CYCLE
(Optional) Define
MICS
input file cycle range.
For this inquiry, the default is the 01 cycle.
SYSID
(Optional) Specify the SYSID to be reported. If no value is specified, the value *ALL is used. It causes all SYSIDs found in input to be summarized together.
CICSID
(Optional) Specify the CICSID to be reported. If no value is specified, the value *ALL is used. It causes all CICSIDs found in input to be summarized together.
DATE
(Optional) Enter the date to be reported in ddmmmyy format.
For this inquiry, the default is yesterday.
ZONE
(Optional) Select one or more
MICS
time zones. Valid values are numbers 1 through 9.
FILE ID
(Optional) Select the CICCSU file as input when the CICCAU file is active. If you specify this parameter, also specify the next parameter to indicate which account code (CICACT1-CICACT9) identifies your CICS application.
CICAPU
(Optional) Replace CICAPU with any of the CICACTx data elements, where x is 1 through 9. This parameter must be specified along with FILE ID.
User exits
 
If the MICF execution-time parameters are insufficient to select the data you need, you can invoke one of the following global exits to further manipulate the input file. Additionally, you can override the global exit definitions in MICF using independent source statements. For details about coding the exits, see the Changing the Report Parameters section.
The global exits are defined by macros in the source module CICRPTGL in sharedprefix.MICS.SOURCE. The following exits are available to this inquiry:
%GAPPL
Define your CICS application based on any variable in the input file. The default is CICAPU.
%GCIC
Select CICSIDs for report.
%GCNTR
Assign value to the variable CENTER which defines the logical grouping of SYSIDs. CENTER is set to SYSID by default.
%GSYS
Select SYSIDs for report.
