Application Monitor Batch Reports › Requesting Reports

Requesting Reports

You request Application Monitor reports using an CA Culprit job stream. The job control language you need to run the reports is shown in Preparing to Run Reports. In the job stream, you supply:

• Selection Criteria Parameters— for including and/or excluding specific information from the reports
• Report specification parameters— for specifying the dictionary to use, formatting options, and the appropriate report names

You can request any or all of the reports in a single run.

General rules for parameter input

• Every parameter is optional.
• Include any or all of these parameters in a single run.
• Use a single line for each separate parameter.
• If you specify more than one parameter, all conditions that you specify must be met in order for you to select a task for reporting.
• Use columns 1 through 72. Input beyond column 72 is ignored. No error is flagged (unless a quoted description is truncated).
• An asterisk (*) in column 1 indicates a comment line.
• Specify either the 3-letter abbreviation or the whole word. For example, PROGRA is invalid. The syntax rules indicate (in uppercase characters) any other allowable abbreviations or synonyms.
• Blank lines are ignored but generate a warning message.
