Question
Why isn't CICS Performance Analyzer for z/OS (CICS PA) using my dictionary record? I am running CICS Transaction Server for z/OS (CICS TS) V5.1 and using CICS PA V5.1 to process CICS SMF 110 performance records. When I run the CICS PA job to list out the new user records in my DFHMCT, CICS PA does not seem to find them in the CPADICTR DD concatenation even though I know they are there.
The CICS PA Performance LIST command results in my USER fields printing as "Missing" in the report. This SYSPRINT DD shows the following messages:

Answer
The following DFH$MOLS job can be used to print the dictionary record for the APPLID so you can review its contents.
//DICTCOPY EXEC PGM=SORT,REGION=0M //SORTIN DD DSN=&hlq..&applid..CICSV510.DICT, // DISP=SHR //SORTOUT DD DSN=&&TEMP,DISP=(NEW,PASS),UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,(5,2)) //DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=A //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=A //SORTDIAG DD SYSOUT=A //SYSIN DD * OPTION COPY,VLSHRT RECORD TYPE=V INCLUDE COND=(6,1,FI,EQ,110,AND, 23,2,BI,EQ,X'0001',AND,67,2,BI,EQ,X'0001') END /* //MOLSPRNT EXEC PGM=DFH$MOLS,REGION=0M,COND=(5,LT,DICTCOPY) //STEPLIB DD DSN=&hlq..CICS680.SDFHLOAD,DISP=SHR //INPUT DD DSN=&&TEMP,DISP=(OLD,DELETE) //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=A //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A,DCB=BLKSIZE=133 //SYSABEND DD SYSOUT=A,DCB=BLKSIZE=133 //SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=A,DCB=BLKSIZE=133 //SYSIN DD * * PRINT THE DICTIONARY RECORDS ONLY PRINT DIC * DISABLE THE DATE/TIME SEQUENCE CHECKING TIMEOFF /* In this case, the dictionary showed the record version as "0650" which is CICS TS V3.2, but the region is CICS TS V5.1 which should be version "0680".
The SDFHLOAD data set used on the CICS PA system definition panelid CPASDCV0 was aliased to an old CICS TS data set.
After changing the SDFHLOAD data set to the CICS TS V5.1 SDFHLOAD and performing an option 1. to Populate Dictionary, the DFH$MOLS showed the correct record version as "0680" ...
...and the CICS PA Performance LIST job issued message...
CPA0228I Dictionary Record from Dialog is being used, DDname=CPADICTR +nnn, APPLID=xxxxxxxx, SID=xxxx, Release=v.r.m, Record Date=mm/dd/yyyy, Time=hh:mm:dd
The CICS PA order of precedence used to determine the CICS dictionary record to use is described in the CICS PA documentation under Order of precedence.
