Provide highly efficient access to transaction cpu/specialty processor accumulated timings

Having requested information pertaining to specific fields found to contain accumulated cpu and specialty processor timings in the DFHTASN control block, I was informed that a detailed explanation of the management of these timings would not be forthcoming and to open an RFE. So here it is. I am requesting a highly efficient means of accessing/obtaining the accumulated cpu and specialty processor timings that appear to be maintained by CICS. A detailed explanation of how these timings are managed would also be required.

Please refer to the post to the CICS New technology forum

    We have assessed this requirement.

    CICS does not maintain the cpu and ziip offload counts but gets the data from z/OS used an enhanced TIMEUSED functionality (z/OS R13 APAR OA38409). The enhanced TIMEUSED functionality can be used in problem state and returns TIME_ON_CP, OFFLOAD_TIME and OFFLOAD_ON_CP.

    We have no plans to disclose when we update our internal fields from the z/OS data.

    The vendor should use the TIMEUSED functionality himself to get the information required.
