Issue/Introduction
The Values in the Trans column on CSYSDATA online view are different than the number of transactions reported by the XPFRMAIN batch report from the same Sysview SMF logstream data.
For example:
SYSVIEW ISPF1 XXXX CSYSDATA, CICS System Interval Summary

The output shows this record:

06/14/22 11.00 CICSTST1 8
In the Trans column of CSYSDATA the value is 9 but in the Batch report the value in the TRANVOL is 8. Why there is this difference?
Cause
The Trans column in the CSYSDATA displays the number of transactions monitored for the interval. When you run the report, the variable for the transactions monitored for the interval is not CICS_TransCnt but CICS_TranGSVI
Resolution
Run the report using CICS_TranGSVI instead of CICS_TransCnt
Replace the line:
CICS INTERVAL SYSTEM CICS_TRANSCNT HDR1( ) HDR2(TRANVOL)
By
CICS INTERVAL SYSTEM CICS_TranGSVI HDR1( ) HDR2(TRANVOL) Additional Information
The CICS System Interval Data Variables that can be used in a report are documented in the R16.0 CICS System Interval Data Variables section of the SYSVIEW Performance Mangement R16.0 PDF.
For R17, review the section CICS System Interval Data Variables.
