Selecting a predefined graph
To view the predefined graphs, select option G, GRAPHICS, from the Primary Option Menu.
The Graph Master Menu is displayed.
COMMAND ===> CICS ===> CICSPROD
User Definable Graphs
U USER GRAPHS - User Definable Graphs
Global Level Graphs
1 CICS - Global CICS System Analysis
2 SYSTEM - Global CICS Transaction Summary
3 SERVICE - Service Level Analysis
4 STORAGE - CICS Storage Utilization

5 TRANSACTION - Graphs by Transaction ID
6 TERMINAL - Graphs by Terminal ID
7 4th GLs - Graphs by 4th GL Program ID
8 B.M.S. - Graphs by BMS Map Set Name
9 PSBS - Graphs by DL/I PSB Name
10 FILES - Graphs by File or Database ID
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.
