CICS Tab

The Strobe CICS report displays the top five application transactions reports. It is separated into two tabs as follows:

  • The Profiled Transactions report tab identifies the top five application transactions profiled.

  • The All Transactions report tab identifies the top five application transactions, inclusive of both those transactions which were profiled and those which were not profiled.

You can create a note for this particular report and profile by simply clicking at the top of the page. The note created is exclusive to this report and can only be accessed from this report and profile. Other users can edit the note.

Click on a Transaction ribbon to view the CICS Service Time report.

  • Transaction shows the name of the transaction.

  • Count shows the number of times this transaction passed through the CICS address space over the duration of the measurement.

  • Observed Count shows the number of times this transaction was sampled over the duration of the measurement.

  • CPU% shows the percent of CPU time used by the transaction.

  • Change TCB Modes shows the number of times that the transaction was swapped between CICS kernel TCBs (for example, QR to L8, L8 to QR, etc.). A CICS task always starts and ends on the QR TCB and, depending on transaction definition and EXEC CICS calls, can be re-dispatched on another CICS TCB.

  • Change TCB Service Time % shows the percentage of the total service time spent swapping between CICS kernel TCBs.

  • Change TCB Mean Service Time (sec) shows the average service time spent swapping between CICS kernel TCBs.

  • Mean Service Time (sec): Delay shows the dispatch delay time of the module name or command.

  • Mean Service Time (sec): Suspend shows the suspend time of the transaction, module, command, or resource.

  • Mean Service Time (sec): Exec shows the execution time of the transaction, module, command, or resource.

  • Mean service time (sec): Total shows the total time of the transaction.

  • Margin of Error shows the margin of error for the transaction.
