Tracking CICS to Db2 or IMS DB

Edit online

When Z APM Connect CICS® TS Data Producer (CICS TS Data Producer) is installed in a CICS TS region, CICS to Db2®, and IMS DB transactions are tracked in Instana. To display accumulated elapsed processing times that are incurred by a CICS transaction for Db2 or IMS DB requests ensure that the CICS SIT and DFHMCT options are in effect.

To display CICS to Db2 or IMS DB transactions in Instana, ensure that the following requirements are met:
  • CICS TS Data Producer is installed in a CICS region.
  • The following SIT and DFHMCT options are set so that transaction timings are reported:
    • The CICS region's MCT table is assembled with the TYPE=INITIAL option that specifies RMI=YES (this cannot be done through CICS RDO):
      DFHMCT TYPE=INITIAL, *
      RMI=YES, *
      SUFFIX=xx
    • The CICS region is run by setting the SIT table options, MN=ON and MNPER=ON to turn on CICS performance monitoring.
