Greetings: Some of my colleagues are investigating, from an architecture point-of-view, how best to use CICS Web services to provide customer access to our 2-tiered CICS-DB2 application on z/OS. For each scenario that they investigate, as much detail on resource consumption is required. Where I am having difficulty is finding elapsed times, CPU consumption and other measures related to pipeline management. In particular, I see nothing in the CICS SMF 110's nor Omegamon/CICS that reports on the (alias) transaction CPIH. My questions are:
Is this possible at the transaction-level, and how do I go about it (with my CICS sysprog)? I do see that CPIH is reported in the CICS-supplied URIMAP performance report, but we need to tie measurements to the individual requests that come in via CSOL. Is the fact that CPIH is an alias to an "internal" transaction an obstacle? If so what traces would I have to investigate, collect and analyze? Has anybody done such a request <-> response timing and resource analysis and can share their approach? (We are CICS TS 3.1, z/OS 1.7 and I am a JOAT performance/capacity guy with more experience on z/OS and DB2 than CICS.) Thanks...
