Monitoring DBCTL

As with your CICS® or IMS system, observing the performance of DBCTL involves collecting and interpreting data gathered by various CICS and IMS performance tools.

In CICS and IMS, the term statistics refers to data that is produced concerning timing and resources used by the system as a whole over a specified period. Additionally, in CICS, monitoring refers to data that is produced concerning timing and resources used by a task or a logical unit of work (UOW).

IMS does not make this distinction: all data returned is referred to as statistics. In this information, the terms statistics and monitoring are used in the CICS sense.

For information about CICS statistics and monitoring, see Introduction to CICS statistics and Measuring, tuning, and monitoring: the basics.

For information about IMS performance and tuning, see System administration in IMS product documentation.
