The CICSplex Transaction Timings attributes report where the time was spent during the life of this transaction, based on data collected by the CICS Monitoring Facility. Use the CICSplex Transaction Timings attributes to find which timing is a large percent of the transaction response time, then determine which conditions might cause the timing to be excessive.
CICS Region Name Indicates the job name or modify ID of the CICS region being monitored. Each CICS region in a z/OS image has a unique name. This name is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 8 characters, and case-sensitive. CICS region names are always in uppercase characters.
CPU Time Indicates the amount of CPU time (in thousandths of a second) used by the transaction.
Dispatch Time Indicates the amount of time (in thousandths of a second) that this transaction spent dispatched on a CICS TCB. It includes QR TCB Elapsed Time and Other TCBs Elapsed Time
Elapsed Time Indicates the time elapsed (in seconds accurate to thousandths of a second) since the transaction was attached. The valid value is a floating-point number, accurate to three decimal places.
Exception Wait Time Is the accumulated time (in thousandths of a second) that this transaction waited on exception conditions.
First Dispatch Delay Is the total time (in thousandths of a second) that this transaction waited prior to first dispatch.
JVM Elapsed Time Is the amount of time (in thousandths of a second) that the transaction spent in a Java Virtual Machine.
Origin Node Is the combination of z/OS System ID (SMFID) and CICS region name. The value format is an alphanumeric string, maximum 32 bytes, and case-sensitive.
When a situation is true, the system compares the origin node name in the attribute to the names of managed systems assigned to the item. If the origin node name matches the name of a managed system, the status of the item changes accordingly. If the names of the origin node and the managed systems do not match, the status of the item remains unchanged.
Other TCBs Elapsed Time Is the amount of time (in thousandths of a second) that this transaction spent dispatched on CICS TCBs other than the QR TCB.
Program Load Elapsed Time Indicates the time (in thousandths of a second) that this transaction waited for program library fetches from DFHRPL.
QR TCB Elapsed Time Is the elapsed time (in thousandths of a second) that this transaction spent dispatched on the CICS QR TCB.
Re-Dispatch Wait Is the amount of time (in thousandths of a second) that this transaction waited between the completion of a request and being redispatched by CICS.
RLS CPU Time Is the amount of SRB CPU time (in thousandths of a second) that this transaction spent processing VSAM Record Level Sharing file requests.
RMI Elapsed Time Is the total amount of time (in thousandths of a second) that this transaction spent in all task-related user exits (TRUEs) invoked by the transaction using the Resource Manager Interface (RMI).
Syncpoint Elapsed Time Indicates the amount of time (in thousandths of a second) that this transaction spent processing syncpoint requests.
System ID Indicates the four-character name that uniquely identifies an active z/OS operating system within a given CICSplex. The value format is an alphanumeric string, maximum 4 characters, and case-sensitive. z/OS System IDs are always in uppercase characters.
Task Number Is the number sequentially assigned by CICS to uniquely identify each task.
Time in Suspend Is the total amount of time (in thousandths of a second) that this transaction spent waiting (suspended). It includes the times reported in the attributes: 1st Dispatch Delay, Re-Dispatch Wait, Total I/O Wait Times, and Total Other Wait Times.
Total I/O Wait Times Is the total amount of time (in thousandths of a second) this transaction waited as a result of I/O operations.
Total Other Wait Times Is the total amount of time (in thousandths of a second) that this transaction waited other than what is reported in the attributes Total I/O Wait Times and Exception Wait Time.
Transaction ID Is the four-character name of the transaction.
