Thank you all for reply. No, I see that our (or better 'their') goals are NEVER reached, PIs are constantly above 1 (sometimes very above). I'm monitoring it since a many weeks. In my opinion the system is stressed trying to reach these goals but these goals are NOT set for CICS only but for many others AS (21) and for this reason it's not possible to say that goals are high because they are applied to 'loved ones' that, by definition, cannot be ALL CICS regions. For this and other reason I think the goal is wrong in THIS environment.
Anyway in a previous shop I tested very high velocity but the difference between a goal of 90% and a goal of 70% was minimum for batch jobs and not so high for 1 or 2 CICS. Infact we had CICS velocity goals ranging from 30% to 50%.
