Hi,

I need to do the performance testing of a CICS pgm..in which i want to execute a particular paragraph lets say for 1000 times and see if there will be any performance issues..can anyone suggest me the best way to do this? also is there any way to findout the cpu time taken for executing that transaction?

Thank you,
Ramesh

Ramesh,

The simplest way to get abstime before the execuetion of the paragraph begins and once again after the completion of the paragraph. The difference between these two times will be your execuetion time for that paragraph. This is not 100% accurate but will give you a very close estimate.

If you have omegamon at your site then you can check the execuetion times in it.

For the second part of your question please search before posting the question. There is a topic in cics forum which is 4 posts below. Here is the direct link to that topic

Hope this helps...

cheers

I second Kolusu. Omegamon is the tool for you. I don't know its exact cost, but it is a fantastic tool for these purposes.

Hi Ramseh,

a better solution is, you use the assembler macro TIMEUSED; you will get the CPU time amount for the complete cics region (all transactions).

See topic "CPU time taken to process a CICS transaction" in this forum; if source code is required for calling this assembler macro from high level programming language, pls. let me know.
