  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Various enhancements to CICS PA.        *
  ****************************************************************
  The following enhancements have been requested:
  1) new Performance ABCOUNT field (RFE 123678)
  2) logger report SYSPLEX option (RFE 123057)
  3) summary LIMIT
  4) "submit" has been added to the Report Forms Menu option
     description update
  

Problem conclusion

• The following enhancements are introduced by this APAR.
  1. With the introduction of the new CICS PA Performance Summary
     abend count field ABCOUNT, users can report the number
     of abended transactions in the various Performance Summary
     reports, including Historical Data Bases.
  2. Prior to this APAR, the CICS PA Summary report provided
     Logstream and Structure summarization at the system level
     only. This APAR gives the user the option to summarize
     Logstream and Structure utilization across the whole Sysplex.
  3. The CICS PA Performance and Statistics summary reports now
     allow for a limit to be applied to a statistical field to
     limit the number of summary entries for each high order key
     value. This option allows the summary report to be condensed
     to show only the resources of most relevance.
     The limit is selected in the Summary Form and is applied to
     one statistical field such as average Response time. The
     result in that the summary report will be the inclusion of
     summary lines for each high order key value up to the
     limitvalue based on average Response time. For example, if
     the summary Form has a key and fields that result in
     FIELDS(APPLID,TRAN,RESPONSE(AVE,DESCEND,LIMIT(10))...), the
     Summary report will only include the first 10 transaction
     codes with the highest average Response time for each APPLID.
  4. This APAR modifies the CICS PA Primary menu option 3 Report
     Forms description to include "submit" in order to highlight
     the fact that this option not only allows user to maintain
     the Form but also directly submit them to generate reports.
     The ability to directly submit a Form avoids the need to
     specify the Form in a Report Set in order to generate the
     report and is particularly useful when running particular
     reports as the need arises.
