When you run the All tasks query the results are displayed in the Resources view in a list of TRANSIDs with Task IDs listed under the TRANSID. In this example, CICS® IA has collected two runs of Transaction LHM1. One has run under TASK ID 0000065C, and the other under TASK ID 0000069C

You can create a query to further interrogate the particular TASK ID for a given run of a transaction.

The results of the query, displayed in the Resources view, identifies the actual resources of the particular run of that transaction. The results show the precise programs, resource types, resource names, and other information down the results tree.
