CICS transaction slow response time

vasanthz

Hi,

We have a CICS-DB2 transaction that ran for 40 seconds and we are trying to determine where that 40 seconds was spent.

The transaction started on say 11:00:00 sharp it ended at 11:00:40, The CICS transaction made a DB2 call at 11:00:01 and the DB2 thread completed at 11:00:02. So we are trying to determine what was happening from 11:00:02 till 11:00:40. We have DB2 datasharing in place.

Mainview monitor for CICS and CICS SMF records show that approximately 39 seconds was spent on

RMIDBCTM - RMIDBCTL*DURATION*IN DFHRMI - 39 seconds
WTSYIOTM - SYNCPOINT*IO WAIT TIME - 39 seconds.

I am not sure what is causing these high values in SYNCPOINT. Could you please let me know where to look for the problem from here.
I was thinking to look at Coupling facility next.

Thanks & Regards,

did you try CEDX for trace transaction running flow?

Hi meykh2014,

This issue happened only during a specific interval and did not happen again. So we were unable to reproduce the same delayed response time for the transaction.

Any update on this issue? I'm having the same slow response on CICS/DB2 transactions.

Hi Mark,

I don't remember exactly what the issue was as it was more than a year ago.
I think this was not mainframe related. I don't really remember.
