<snip> You missed my point! We don't have that! We do route around with sub-half-second, using velocity goals. Why do we need transaction goals? (My original question -- you may need it; we don't) </snip>
You MAY NOT NEED transaction goals. You MAY want them. Granted your velocity goals are provided acceptable response at response time x (whatever x is). By conversion to transaction goals, you *MAY* still be able to provide response time x at a lower cost in terms of resources allocated to CICS. The answer (as ususal) is "it depends". The only way to know for sure is to try it. After all, it is not as though it is a major effort to back out if the results are not as desired.
