Ad hoc batch data collection

Ad hoc batch data collection

C\Prof supports several batch data collection utilities that can be used for ad hoc batch requests. To submit an ad hoc batch request, use option 4 Batch on the C\Prof primary option menu to generate JCL. The following collection modes are available in this mode:

• RECORD FOR PROFILING

  Record the CICS internal trace for transaction profiling. View using C\Prof ISPF dialog option 2 Profiler.

• SNAP

  Take a back-in-time snapshot of the CICS internal trace and write it to an auxiliary trace data set. View using C\Prof ISPF dialog option 3 Trace.

• RECORD TO AUXTRACE

  Record the CICS internal trace to auxiliary trace data sets. View using C\Prof ISPF dialog option 3 Trace.

• IMPORT

  Import transactions and trace events in an auxiliary trace data set into the profiler. View using C\Prof ISPF dialog option 2 Profiler.

Note: The ability to extract the CICS internal trace from a CICS dump to an auxiliary trace data set is supplied by the C\Prof IPCS VERBEXIT. More information can be found in Create an auxiliary trace data set from a CICS dump using IPCS.
