Using the CICS® PA plug-in,
you can only analyze CMF performance data that has been extracted
and formatted as a csv file using CICS Performance
Analyzer for z/OS®. You must
not edit or change the csv data in any way otherwise errors are likely
to occur.
Before you begin
Ensure that APAR PK71846 is installed on CICS Performance Analyzer for z/OS.
Procedure
- Collect your performance class data using CMF. For further
information see The CICS Monitoring
Facility topic in the CICS Performance
Guide.
- Using CICS Performance
Analyzer for z/OS, create an
Exported Performance Data Extract using the summary report form EXPLORE3.
The form is available in APAR PK71846. You must use a comma as the
field delimiter. For more information see the Exported Performance Data extract topic in
the CICS Performance Analyzer
for z/OS documentation.
- Download the csv file to your workstation using ftp or
another file transfer method. The file extension must be .csv.
What to do next
You can now load the data into the
CICS PA plug-in.
