Weekly or monthly CICS region transaction count

Issue/Introduction

Need CICS transactions weekly or monthly total count. Is this possible from any SYSVIEW option.

Environment

SYSVIEW R15.0

Resolution

This capability does not currently exist in SYSVIEW R16.0; however, if the CICSLOGR is only set on the weekly/monthly or other boundary needed for the timeframe to be reported on, then this could potentially be determined.  The value is displayed by issuing command:  CDSIP

Be advised that each time the CICSLOGR has been cycled, that value is reset to zero. 

A work around is to set up a daily batch job that records this value somewhere.  Then the daily would be calculated by subtracting the previous day's value from today's value.  At the end of the week or month, a calculation could be done to add the applicable daily values.
