CICS monitoring record formats

Use this information if you write your own program to analyze the monitoring data.

CICS® writes several types of SMF 110 record. Each type, or subtype as it is known, can be identified using the record subtype field in the SMF header. The subtype values are as follows:
X'0000'
CICS journaling
X'0001'
CICS monitoring
X'0002'
CICS statistics
X'0003'
Shared temporary storage queue server statistics
X'0004'
Coupling facility data table server statistics
X'0005'
Named counter sequence number server statistics

The three components of a CICS monitoring record are an SMF header, an SMF product section, and a CICS data section.
