CICS PA More Pre Defined Calculations

We need IBM to produce more CICS PA reports that do some of the calculations that we have do over and over for Performance and tuning .
Especially for the Loggers . This would save us so much time and make the product an easier selling point . With staffs continually growing smaller on the Mainframe side ,
this would enable many shops to concentrate on newer technology rather than the daily repetitious tasks .

.

    A number of pre-defined calculations and CICS PA derived fields have been provided in recent releases. Please raise another RFE if other calculations and derived fields are required.

    Hi John, I have discussed this with CICS PA development and they are waiting for details of other calculations you had mentioned. You mentioned Loggers but what particular calculations are you looking for from the Logger data. Thanks.
