Too hard to debate that... it's always relative.  Someone on a small 
z800 might think you are a large shop. But going by my personal
experience... I guess I would say you are probably a medium sized
shop.

There are different levels of CICS activity you can record. I'm sure
someone else can elaborate on the different options (summaries vs.
detail records etc.).  But I would always want to keep them for a period
of time for historical purposes or capacity problem analysis.  When
you say you don't ahve VSAM, does that mean you aren't collecting
60-62?  If so, don't your auditors care?

One of the 2 major envionments I support has this:

NOTYPE(4,5,19,20,34,35,40,69,92(10:11),99)

Another has this:

NOTYPE(19,20,40,50:60,92,99)

Comments on above: 
Not sure why the 2nd one doesn't exclude 4/5 since they are also
in the type 30 records, but perhaps it's because they run CA-7 and
never got rid of them.  34/35 are excluded for the same reason in 
the first one. 40s (dynamic DD) are also in the 30s, so they are
excluded as well.  Don't know why the 2nd one excludes 50-60.
92s are a performance consideration for WAS (or other OMVS 
apps).  But the only concern is 92 subtypes 10/11, so I elected to
only exclude those subtypes when I added that. There is other
information in the 92s that I have wanted.  99 (WLM) we already
discussed and is recommended to be excluded by IBM.
