1.2 Reports

CA MICS Analyzer for CA-IDMS reporting facilities provide you
with a base from which you can develop your own reports, thus
giving value and utility to what is reported.

Three types of reports are provided:  graphic displays,
standard analysis reports, and exception reports.

GRAPHIC DISPLAYS

Graphic displays are color plots, charts, and other screen
and plotter displays. They are useful for illustrating trends
and comparisons and for quickly identifying potential problem
areas.

Code is provided for several graphic display reports.  You
can tailor this code to produce graphic displays to meet your
data center's requirements.

Graphic displays are described in Chapter 3, Reports.


STANDARD ANALYSIS REPORTS

Standard analysis reports provide a structured approach to
IDMS analysis.  There are four categories of these reports:
workload, response, resource consumption, and incident
analysis.

Standard analysis reports are described in Chapter 3,
Reports.

EXCEPTION REPORTS

The exception process provides management and technical
personnel with a means to identify problems or problem areas,
organize and report the problems in terms of their severity,
integrate the problem reporting for all system components,
and associate the problems with their respective management
areas.

Exception reports are listed and described in Chapter 4,
Exceptions.
