Management is trying to cut and save CPU cost. So they came up with this "Cost Avoidance Committee". (Primarily consisting of uper management). Now they want us to somehow equate the CPU Time consumed (primarily by a CICS transaction) and equate that into MIPS. I know that folks have come up with formulas on how to do this.
We use BEST/1 (Visualizer) for our performance reporting and it works off 15 minute intervals. Within this 15 minute interval, we can run hundreds of CICS transactions. If we take one CICS transaction and convert the CPU time used into MIPS, it is much higher than the 15 minute interval that is being reported in BEST/1. So there is really no way for us to correlate this number with our BEST/1 data. The performance data comes from MXG and it gets fed into BEST/1. As far as I know, MXG does not report on MIP utilization per CICS transaction. It does report on the elapsed time and CPU time for individual CPU transactions. And it would be just to much of an effort for us to report on "MIPS used" for hundreds of CICS transactions. Any suggestions or comments ??
