Collecting and processing data for CICS monitoring

You can request CICS® to collect four types, or classes, of monitoring data. The collection of CICS data can be activated or deactivated and you can select when CICS data is collected. The monitoring data can then be processed by products such as the CICS Performance Analyzer or a similar application to provide information to help you analyze the performance of your system.

The DFHMNDUP utility program and the DFH$MOLS sample program are available to process CICS monitoring data that is written to system management facilities (SMF) data sets. See Sample monitoring data print program (DFH$MOLS).
