Each option invokes a set of graphs representing real-time data corresponding to a specific graph area. After a predefined graph is displayed, other graphs (as listed below for each area) may be displayed by scrolling to the right and left.
The graph area and the set of predefined graphs are shown in the following list:
- Option 1, CICS (Global CICS Systems Analysis) invokes the Global CICS Graphs Menu, whose options correspond to the following data items:
- 1 - DFH: general CICS data
- 2 - MVS: operating-system data
- 3 - PGC: CICS paging data
- 4 - RAT: CICS CPU overhead ratios
- 5 - TPS: global CICS task breakdown
- 6 - USR: user applications data
The following figure presents a graph showing CICS dispatch activity, which can be viewed by selecting option 1, DFH.
