Bottleneck Analysis workspace

The predefined Bottleneck Analysis workspace contains the

The workspace displays are provided by the CICSplex Bottleneck Analysis attribute group.

Bottleneck Analysis table view
By default, the Bottleneck Analysis table view displays information for all eligible CICS transactions. You can limit the display to a single group by adding a " GROUPNUM EQ " predicate to the bottleneck query. The Tivoli Enterprise Portal Properties page lets you add the Group Number attribute, provided only one group is specified in the predicate.

It is not possible to ask for several groups at one time, while omitting others. For instance, if ten groups have been defined to OMEGAMON, a query cannot ask for groups 3, 5, and 9. Thus, if the Bottleneck Analysis query asks for more than one group (using multiple predicates or use of something other than an EQ logical operator), an error message is written to the RKLVLOG and the query is ignored. A display of all transactions is obtained by omitting the Group Number predicate from the Bottleneck Analysis query.

CICS Wait Reason Distribution bar chart

To replace the wait reason description with a shorthand version of the resource type and name, add the Resource Type/Name attribute to your query using the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Properties page.

This tactic will, for example, replace " FC:Wait for user" with " FCCFQS /(none) " for those accustomed to the classic interface. The display threshold is controlled using the Display Threshold attribute supplied in the default query and can be changed to any desired value. Omitting the attribute, or setting its value to zero, will result in the display of all defined wait reasons. Users of the classic and Tivoli Enterprise Portal monitors can set any value they choose.
