PIReporter for CICS - Performance Intelligence, Inc.

PIReporter for CICS provides performance data collection and analysis for CICS transactions and intervals based on performance data gathered by SMF or ASG TMON.

Response time is the cornerstone of CICS performance and planning for transaction performance is the key to a smooth customer experience.
