Error description
If multiple CICS servers are in use, CS_IAVRESP (average CICS response time) is calculated from the number of requests flowed to a single CICS server, and an incorrect value of 0 is written to SMF. However if CS_IAVRESP is collected through the SDSF interface (by using the command "/F <jobname>,APPL=STATS,GS=CS_IAVRESP"), or through the statistics API, the returned value is correct.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of CICS Transaction Gateway * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The value of CS_IAVRESP written to SMF * * might be incorrect when multiple CICS * * servers are configured in CICS TG. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Interval statistics are calculated, written to SMF, and reset ready for the beginning of the next interval. If multiple CICS servers were defined, CS_IAVRESP was calculated using the number of requests flowed to only one of the defined CICS servers. This caused the value of CS_IAVRESP that was written to SMF to be incorrect. When retrieving a value for CS_IAVRESP using the SDSF interface or the statistics API, the value returned was correct.
Problem conclusion
CICS TG has been corrected. The number of requests sent to all defined CICS servers is used when calculating the value of CS_IAVRESP.
