Some of the challenge with these data sources are variability and complexity 
(to start), as follows:

1) CICS CMF 110/1 has 'tailorable' transaction data (MCT-directed by 
site/region/version) that is mapped by corresponding DICTIONARY data.
2) DB2 101 (with certain ACCOUNTING TRACE type activation) has the potential to 
generate a continuation-like record if more than 10 packages occur - that must 
be mapped back to the primary record since not all fields are present in both.
3) DB2 102 data (at the IFCID level) is comprehensive and larger number of 
metrics than a bread-basket.
4) Additionally, such as MQ 116/1-2, similar condition to #2 above with 
continuation-like record generation, based on unique-queue activity.

In summary, these are just too comprehensive data sources for simple-mapping, 
likely without post-processing once the data-records are decoded to map all 
'related records' to one transaction instance/event.
