3. REPORTS


The CA MICS Analyzer Option for VSE/POWER produces reports
using the batch and interactive reporting facilities of CA
MICS.  The types of reports produced are categorized as
standard analysis, MICF inquiry, management objective, and
exception reports.

CA MICS standard analysis reports provide a concise
representation of an installation's workload, resource use,
and response to the workload when data is not in a form
suitable for a management objective or exception report.

MICF inquiries are precomposed printer reports and color
graphics that are accessed via the CA MICS Information Center
Facility (MICF).  MICF inquiries help you produce meaningful
reports from the data in the CA MICS database quickly and
easily and provide you with the flexibility to code and save
your own report formats.

Management objective reports provide a concise, graphic or
tabular representation of your installation's processing
objectives and how well they have been met.

Exception reports provide a concise, integrated, and itemized
list of the problems impacting an installation's
effectiveness in terms of availability, service, workload,
standards, security, and performance.  Exception reports are
discussed in Chapter 4 of this guide.

While almost all of the reports can be used as distributed,
most should be modified to meet your exact requirements.
Section 3.4. of the CA MICS Analyzer Option for VSE/POWER
Guide contains a description of macros available to customize
the management objective reports.  If you require more
extensive modification, review Chapter 10, Modification.
