C/Prof Modernization Guide

C/Prof analyzes CICS transaction performance by leveraging the CICS internal trace. It identifies performance bottlenecks and resource contention within CICS applications.

C/Prof uses the CICS internal trace to gather data. It does not require modifications to application code. The analysis focuses on transaction execution paths and resource usage.

C/Prof identifies long-running transactions, excessive CPU consumption, I/O bottlenecks, and contention for CICS resources such as enqueue locks and temporary storage.

C/Prof provides reports and displays that highlight performance bottlenecks. Users can drill down into transaction execution paths to pinpoint the root cause of performance issues.

C/Prof leverages the CICS internal trace. Configuration involves setting appropriate trace levels and options within CICS to capture the desired performance data.

C/Prof analyzes CICS transactions. It identifies the specific programs, databases, and other resources accessed by those transactions.

C/Prof uses the CICS internal trace. It does not directly expose APIs for external integration. Data extraction would require custom scripting against C/Prof reports.

C/Prof analyzes CICS trace data. It does not directly interact with databases or storage mechanisms beyond those accessed by the traced CICS transactions.

C/Prof helps reduce CPU consumption by identifying inefficient code paths. It improves transaction response times by pinpointing resource contention and I/O bottlenecks.

C/Prof helps optimize resource utilization by identifying contention for CICS resources. It reduces the need for hardware upgrades by improving the efficiency of existing applications.

C/Prof helps reduce the cost of problem determination by quickly pinpointing the root cause of performance problems. It minimizes downtime by enabling faster resolution of performance issues.

C/Prof leverages the security features of CICS and z/OS. Access to C/Prof reports and data is controlled through CICS security mechanisms.

C/Prof uses the auditing and logging capabilities of CICS and z/OS. Security events and access to sensitive data are logged for auditing purposes.

C/Prof relies on the security features of the underlying CICS environment. It does not provide its own encryption mechanisms. Data is protected by CICS security.

C/Prof is administered through CICS. User management and security settings are configured within the CICS environment.

C/Prof provides reports and displays that show resource utilization and performance metrics. These can be used to monitor the health and performance of CICS applications.

C/Prof uses standard CICS logging facilities. Performance data and error messages are logged to the CICS system log.
