Transaction Analysis workspace
The Transaction Analysis workspace shows a comprehensive view of transactions, which enables you to identify problem transactions across CICS® regions and z/OS® images for the CICSplex.
This workspace displays data provided by the CICSplex Transaction Analysis attribute group.
The predefined Transaction Analysis workspace contains the following views:
- The Transaction Processor Utilization bar chart shows the amount of CPU time being used by each task.
- The Transaction Analysis table view provides a system-wide view
of executing transactions.
You can add the System Task filtering column to the table view to identify CICS system tasks and non CICS system tasks. You modify the query for the Transaction Analysis workspace to include the appropriate setting (Yes or No) for the System Task column.
The Transaction Analysis table view provides links to these workspaces:
- Units of Work workspace
- Application Trace workspace
- Online Data Viewing workspace
- Temporary Storage Details workspace
- Transaction Details workspace, showing:
- EIB Summary, with a link to the Transaction EIB Details workspace
- Transaction Applications
- Transaction Storage Analysis workspace
- Transaction Timings workspace, showing I/O and Others Waits Details
- Transaction Statistics workspace
- Transaction and Program Definitions workspace
- Transaction Umbrella Information workspace
- Transaction Remote Summary workspace
- Transaction File Details workspace
- Transaction TSQueue Details workspace
It also provides links to the Transaction Details in 3270 and Online Data Viewing in 3270 views of the OMEGAMON 3270 interface. When you right-click a link icon in the Transaction Analysis table view and select Transaction Details in 3270 or Online Data Viewing in 3270, you must enter your terminal session user credentials in the dialog and click OK. A terminal view is displayed within the workspace, with the appropriate details. Using this panel, you can examine much more historical data than is available in the Tivoli® Enterprise Portal workspace.
Note that each of these predefined workspace links to a 3270 session has an associated sample script. You should review these scripts prior to using them in your environment.
You can link to the Detailed Thread Exception workspace provided by the OMEGAMON for DB2® on z/OS product for the selected DB2 Correlation identifier, which allows you to track a transaction and the activity as it moves between the CICS and DB2 products.
Likewise, you can link to its Single DB2 Thread Summary workspace, of the OMEGAMON for DB2 on z/OS product filtered by the DB2 Correlation identifier. With this feature, you retrieve detail data about the running transaction.
If the OMEGAMON for IMS on z/OS product is also installed and running, you can link to its DBCTL Detailed Thread Activity (Active) workspace, filtered by the CICS Jobname and CICS Task Number columns. With this feature, you track a transaction and the activity as it moves between the CICS and IMS products.
