Report format
 
This inquiry produces a horizontal bar chart which shows the top 10 applications with the worst average response time.
Inquiry ID
 
CICPDB (printer graphic format)
Data source (file/timespan)
 
CICCAU01 in the DAYS 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 produced for each date and each combination of SYSID/CICSID.
Data elements used

- Transactions Processed
CAUTRSTM
- Transaction Response Time Total
DAY
- Day of Month

- System Identifier
Calculations
 
Average response time = CAUTRSTM/CAUTRANS
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.
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.
BY
(Optional) Specify the BY variable (either SYSID or CICSID) to produce separate graphs for each system. Otherwise, all SYSIDs and CICSIDs are summarized together and displayed on one graph.
RESP
(Optional) Select the type of responses to be ranked. The response types are AVG, SHORT, MED, LONG, or CONV. The default value is AVG which produces ranking by average response seconds.
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 in conjunction 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.
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.
