The CICS® PA plug-in is an Eclipse plug-in that operates on top of the IBM® CICS Explorer™ to help you analyze CICS performance data that has been processed by the CICS PA
product..
You use the CICS PA plug-in with the CICS PA host to analyze CICS Monitoring Facility (CMF) performance and statistical class
data. The data can be accessed directly from a CICS PA database, or
formatted as a comma-separated variable (CSV) file using CICS Performance Analyzer for z/OS® and loaded into the CICS PA plug-in for analysis.
Using the CICS PA plug-in you can perform the following tasks:
- Select single or multiple transaction for analysis.
- Perform CPU time analysis.
- Perform file analysis.
- Perform response time analysis.
- Perform storage analysis.
- Perform threadsafe analysis.
- Link from the statistics alerts to the statistics records.
- View and sort CSV or database data in a spreadsheet viewer. You
can also copy CSV data directly from CICS PA to a spreadsheet application.
- Cache records for tuning user interface performance and maximum
row limits per result set.
