Transaction Rate Graph report

The Transaction Rate Graph report helps you understand other graphs and reports by showing the number of transactions on which the reported data is based. It is also useful in understanding the rate at which the CICS® system is running or is able to run. It is useful as a daily indicator of system activity, and helps you understand other graphs and reports by showing the number of transactions on which the reported data is based.

To request the report, enter line action S against the Transaction Rate Performance Graph on the Report Set panel. If reports of this type have been previously specified, the list of Transaction Rate Graphs is displayed. Otherwise, the Transaction Rate Graph panel is displayed for you to define your first report of this type.

This panel displays the list of Transaction Rate Graph reports in this Report Set. You can select (edit), delete, or include/exclude any report, insert new ones, or rearrange them (move/copy).

The options and line actions are the same as those for the Performance List Reports panel, except there is no Report Form. See Performance List report.

To display the Transaction Rate Graph panel, enter line action S against the Transaction Rate Performance Graph Report on the Report Set panel, then if the list of previously specified graph reports is displayed, enter line action S against a particular report in the list.

Use this panel to specify report options and record selection criteria for the Transaction Rate Graph report. The report format is fixed. The only mandatory option is the DDname for the report output (the CICS PA default is GRTEnnnn). You can let the other options default.

The report options are the same as those for the Performance List Report (see Performance List report), except there is no Report Form and there are additional options for the attributes of the graphs:
Time Interval
The Transaction Rate Graph Report produces two graphs: average response time and number of transactions completed in each interval. Specify the time interval (in minutes) for the scale of the vertical axis of both graphs.

Specify a value in the range 00:00:01 (1 second) to 24:00:00 (24 hours). The default is 00:05:00 (5 minutes).

This option generates the INTERVAL(hh:mm:ss) operand.

Average Response Time (seconds)
This applies to the graph of average response time (horizontal axis) in each time interval (vertical axis). Specify the high end (in seconds) of the range of values for the horizontal axis. This option generates the RANGE1(seconds) operand.
Number of Transactions Completed
This applies to the graph of the number of transactions completed (horizontal axis) in each time interval (vertical axis). Specify the high end of the range of values for the horizontal axis. This option generates the RANGE2(number) operand.
