The CICS® PA plug-in is
an Eclipse plug-in that operates on top of the IBM® CICS Explorer™ to help you analyze CICS performance
data.
The CICS Monitoring Facility
(CMF) produces performance class data, which is stored in a database
or formatted as comma-separated variable (csv) files using the CICS Performance Analyzer for z/OS®. The data is then analyzed
using the CICS PA plug-in.
Using the CICS PA plug-in you
can perform the following tasks:
- View and sort the csv or database data in a spreadsheet viewer.
- Select single or multiple transaction for analysis.
- Perform CPU time analysis.
- Perform file analysis.
- Perform response time analysis.
- Perform storage analysis.
- Perform threadsafe analysis.
