Detail line descriptions

CICS transaction detail line

This is the first-level detail line. Each line shows information about a CICS® transaction for which CPU consumption was measured.

Under Heading This is Displayed
Name The CICS transaction code.
NTxns The number of executions of the transaction.
Description If this is a recognized CICS transaction, a functional description.
Percent of CPU Time The percentage of CPU time consumed during execution of the transaction.

CICS program or system services detail line

This is a second-level detail line shown directly under the CICS transaction detail line. This line represents a CICS program (usually an application) that was in control during execution of the transaction. The third-level lines shown under this item can be CICS command lines, SQL requests, DL/I requests or Module lines.

If no CICS application program was dispatched, "CICS" is shown under the Name heading and "System Services" under the Description heading.

Under Heading This is Displayed
Name The module name of the CICS program. If lines grouped under this line are CICS command lines, DB2® SQL, or IMS™ DLI calls, this field is displayed in red. For Module lines grouped under this line, the field is turquoise. "CICS" is displayed here if no application program was in control.
Description If lines grouped under this line are CICS command lines, this displays "EXEC CICS." If lines grouped under this line are SQL request lines, this displays "EXEC SQL". If lines grouped under this line are DL/I request lines, this displays "EXEC DLI". Otherwise, if the program name is a recognized CICS module name (a DFH* name), a functional description is shown, and "CICS Program" is displayed if it is not recognized; indicating this is likely an application program. "System Services" is displayed if no application program was in control.
Percent of CPU Time The percentage of CPU time consumed while executing in the identified program during execution of the transaction under which the line appears.

CICS command detail line

These lines appear under a CICS Program detail line. Each one represents a CICS command issued by the program identified in the name field of the CICS Program line under which these lines are grouped.

Under Heading This is Displayed
Name The hexadecimal offset in the identified CICS program of the return address of the EXEC CICS command. This is in +xxxx format. If the CSECT containing the EXEC CICS is not the same name as the module identified in the CICS Program line above, this field contains the CSECT name. In this case, the offset is shown in the description field. This field is always displayed in red.
Description The CICS command descriptor. If, as noted above, the CSECT name containing the EXEC CICS is different from the module name, the CICS command descriptor is preceded by the hexadecimal offset of the command from the start of the CSECT.
Percent of CPU Time The percentage of CPU time consumed while executing the CICS command.

SQL Request detail line

These lines appear under a CICS Program detail line. Each one represents an SQL request issued by the program identified in the name field of the CICS Program line under which these lines are grouped.

Under Heading This is Displayed
Name The hexadecimal offset in the identified CICS program of the return address of the EXEC SQL call. This is in +xxxx format. This field is always displayed in red
Description The SQL request function - SELECT, FETCH, UPDATE, etc.
Percent of CPU Time The percentage of CPU time consumed while executing the SQL request.

DL/I Request detail line

These lines appear under a CICS Program detail line. Each one represents an IMS DL/I request issued by the program identified in the name field of the CICS Program line under which these lines are grouped.

Under Heading This is Displayed
Name The hexadecimal offset in the identified CICS program of the return address of the EXEC DL/I call. This is in +xxxx format. This field is always displayed in red.
Description The DL/I function code followed by the PCB name.
Percent of CPU Time The percentage of CPU time consumed while executing the DL/I request.

Active module detail line

These lines appear under a CICS Program detail line. Each one represents a module that was executing under control of the program identified in the name field of the CICS Program line under which these lines are grouped.

Under Heading This is Displayed
Name The name of the module that was executing.
Description A functional description of the module if one is available.
Percent of CPU Time The percentage of CPU time consumed while executing in the module within the grouping under which the detail line appears.

Adabas request detail line

These lines appear under a CICS Program detail line. Each one represents an Adabas request issued by the program identified in the name field of the CICS Program line under which these lines are grouped.

Under Heading This is Displayed
Name The hexadecimal offset in the identified CICS program of the return address of the EXEC ADABAS command. This is in +xxxx format. This field is always displayed in red.
Description The Adabas request function -- OP, CL, L2, etc.
Percent of CPU Time The percentage of CPU time consumed while executing the Adabas request.
