To investigate an individual transaction further, you can drill-down to view the events in the life of the transaction. C\Prof Web UI shows you these events initially as high-level "application events" which summarize and simplify sequences of raw trace events recorded from the CICS internal trace.
Browsing events
To view application events, complete the following steps:
- Find the transaction you are interested in using the transaction list.
- Click the expand button (
) to reveal additional actions. - Click the zoom button (
) to display major application events.

Tip: To share this transaction with others, use the send button (
