PM32386: SMALL NUMERICAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN IMS PA TRANSACTION ANALYSIS,MANAGEMENT EXCEPTION AND TRANSACTION EXCEPTION REPORTS

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Three numerical issues addressed:
  1. Transaction count may be 1 less than actual for Transaction
     Exception report if time-based filtering is applied at report
     level.
  2. CPU time and DB/DC call counts in Management Exception
     reports may be low because transaction count, rather than the
     count of transactions with statistics is used.
  3. When components of Total Time are unknown, statistical
     calculations on Process Time are incorrect.
