The Monthly CICS Service inquiry produces a color graph which correlates CICS workload and average response time for the past 6 months. It enables you to identify a trend in CICS service and workload.
Report format
 
This inquiry produces an overlay plot, using two vertical axes, which shows the hourly CICS transaction volume and average response time. The transaction volume is plotted against the right vertical axis, while the average response time against the left. The transaction volume is further divided by transaction type (short, medium, long) to show the workload characteristics. This plot is available in color graphic format only.

Execution-time paramaters
 
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.
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.
CENTER
(Optional) Specify the CENTER to be reported. If no value is specified, the value *ALL is used. It causes all CENTERs found in input to be summarized together. CENTER is a logical grouping of SYSIDs which you assign in the global exit %GCNTR. If this exit is not defined, CENTER is set to the value of SYSID.
MONTH
(Optional) Enter the month (mm) and year (yy) to be reported.
For this inquiry, the default is the last 6 months.
ZONE
(Optional) Select one or more
MICS
time zones. Valid values are numbers 1 through 9.
DEVICE
(Optional) Override the default colors and patterns that are used by specifying a different device type. The default is TERMINAL. Because the code for color graphics is not generated by MICF, the device parameter you specified in MICF is not applicable here.
FOOTNOTE
(Optional) Specify whether or not the MICF inquiry ID should be displayed as a footnote on the graph. The default value is NO.
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.
In addition to the listed exits, the module CICRPTGL also contains macro variables which set default values for service level objectives. See the Changing the Report Parameters section to override the default values.
