CICSPA report for number of file control request by tranid during hour with highest tran rate

I could not find CICS PA selection criteria to only report on the highest transaction rate for an hour within a 24 hour period. But, you might want to experiment with the following command to select only one 24 hour start and stop time of SMF data and then report by a 1 hour interval using a CICS PA SUMMARY report with the TRAN, FCGET and TASKCNT fields... For example:

 //SYSIN DD *
 * Form =FCSUMA
 * Description=File Request Activity
 * Reports for System=CICSDEVA
 *             Image =SYSA
 *             Description=System added by take-up
          CICSPA SMFSTART(2017/07/11,00:00:00.01),
                  SMFSTOP(2017/07/11,23:59:59.99),
                  READ2EOF
          CICSPA IN(SMFIN001),
                 APPLID(CICSDEVA),
                 LINECNT(60),
                 FORMAT(':','/'),
                 PRECISION(4),
             SUMMARY(OUTPUT(SUMM0001),
                 LINECNT(60),
                 TOTALS(8),
                 INTERVAL(00:01:00),
                 FIELDS(TRAN(ASCEND),
                        TASKCNT(DESCEND),
                        FCGET(TOT)),
                 TITLE1(
  'Transaction File Request Activity - Summary                     '))
 /*

There is a sample form for file control requests distributions (FCRQRNGC) for the day that you can also try. I just modified the FCOTOTAL to FCGET for only file control read requests.

 //SYSIN DD *
 * Form =FCRQRNGC
 * Description=File Request Distribution
 * Reports for System=CICSDEVA
 *             Image =SYSA
 *             Description=System added by take-up

                        FCGET(
                        RNGCOUNT(1-5)),
                        FCGET(
                        RNGCOUNT(5-10)),

                        RNGCOUNT(30-50)),
                        FCGET(
                        RNGCOUNT(50-100)),

                        RNGCOUNT(100-200)),
                        FCGET(
                        RNGCOUNT(>200)),
                        FCGET(MAX),
                        FCGET(AVE)),
                 TITLE1(
  'Transaction File Request Distribution Summary (Count) by Time-of'),
                 TITLE2(
  '-Day                                                            '))

I ran these on some SMF110 records and they did report on the file control requests.

Let me know if this helps.
