Transaction history
For each transaction that runs in a CICS region, the data extractor records essential transaction information (such as the transaction’s date and time, response time, CPU usage, file I/O counts, and resource consumption). These transaction history records can be displayed online with the history views.
The following figure shows an example of the primary history view, CHIST. CHIST provides information about transactions in the current context that ran during a specified period, and, optionally, that satisfied a filter condition.
