CICS - In SMF performance records, supply the target program in mirror transaction

Senario: Program performs X a DPL to program Y. In the mirror task in the remote region the 1st program is DFHMIRS and it will link to program Y.
Unfortunately, program Y is not reported by SMF performance records.
My request is to always report the target program Y linked to by DFHMIRS in a new SMF performance data field.

    Hi,
    you can 'reject' this RFE.

    A further investigation of mine showed that the mirror transaction does show the user's target program in the 110 performance record , but if it is a Function Shipping request then the program shown is DFHMIRS.

    But thanks for pointing out the functionality available in MNRES - I will keep it in mind if it is needed.

    Have you considered turning on Transaction Resource class monitoring data? See https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGMCP_5.5.0/monitoring/dfht3_mon_tranmnr_intro.html

    So in your scenario, the monitoring data for program X will include details of the program Y that it DPLed to.
