Transaction Processing Events view (IFCTR)


In the Transaction Processing Events view, average elapsed time is broken down into percentages of elapsed time the transaction spent in execution.

You can use the information to quickly determine if a problem is occurring in a processing event. The columns to the right break down the events that occurred as IMS processed the transaction. A high percentage in any of those columns indicates where a potential problem could exist. For example, if Avg Appl is high, you can hyperlink to a view of application processing for that transaction to see what process may be contributing to the event.

You can hyperlink to the IFCTR view from the:

  • Transaction Summary option in the IMS Fast Menu (EZIFAST)
  • Components of Response option in the IMS Easy Menu (EZIMS) and the IMS SSI Easy Menu (EZISSI)
  • Tran Performance option in the DBCTL Menu (DBCMP)
