CSMI transaction excluded from SMF log

Issue/Introduction

Trying to exclude CSMI transactions from the SMF records.

Adding CSMI transaction to the CTRANOPT with NOSMF but still seeing CSMI transactions in the SMF log.

 

 

Environment

SYSVIEW 15.0 & 16.0 - z/OS supported releases - 

 

Resolution

The SUPPRESS parameter can be set in the CTRANOPT member of the CNM4BPRM library for  the CSMI transaction:

According to CTRANOPT HELP under SYSVIEW:

A single set of definitions is used for all monitored CICS regions and transactions on a system.
 
 The following options can be set:
 
    * Specify transactions that are required to be active
 
    * Exception processing
 
    * Transaction collection level - DETAIL or SUMMARY
 
    * Logging of the detailed transaction record to the
      transaction log stream
 
    * Logging of the detailed transaction record to SMF
 
    * Sending the detailed transaction record to the
      MVS dynamic exit: GSVX.CICSTRAN
 
    * Sending monitored transaction information to
      CA Cross-Enterprise APM
 
    * Suppress CICS SMF 110 subtype 1 records
 
    * Specify transaction elapsed time monitoring method
 
    * Define long running transactions

So the SUPPRESS parameter only affects SMF 110 performance records (subtype 1).
