CICS Performance Analyzer Preferences

Use the CICS® Performance Analyzer Preferences page to change the colors used to identify the different fields in the charts.

The CICS Performance Analyzer Preferences page displays the default color settings for the fields used in the charts. If you have previously limited the analysis you can perform by using the PA categories icon The PA categories icon, you will only see the colors that are applicable to the categories that are selected. If an analysis category is selected, there is a check mark in the category box.

In the example below, all three report categories; CPU time, Threadsafe, and Response time, are checked, and so all the colors are visible and can be changed.
