Data available for a CICS-DBCTL system

As with your CICS® or IMS system, observing the performance of DBCTL involves collecting and interpreting data gathered by various CICS and IMS performance tools.

The difference with DBCTL is that you need to keep an eye on events taking place in separate address spaces. Figure 1 gives an overview of where DBCTL monitoring and statistics data is sent to and the tools you can use to produce output from this data. The data and tools mentioned are described in the sections that follow.
Figure 1. Overview of DBCTL statistics and monitoring data
This figure summarizes where DBCTL monitoring and statistics data is sent and the tools that can produce output. DBCTL data is sent to: The IMS log, as 07, 08, and 45 records; The IMS monitor data set, where it can be processed by the DFSUTR20 utility into IMS monitor output;CICS, via the DRA.CICS sends the data it has received from DBCTL to SMF, which sends it to: DFHMNDUP, from which it can go to DFH$MOLS to be issued as CICS monitoring facility reports; DFHSTUP, to be issued as CICS statistical reports;RMF to be issued as RMF reports;RMF to be issued as SLR output.
