3.2 MICF Inquiries

CA MICS Analyzer for CA-IDMS provides a comprehensive set of
reports and color graphic inquiries that are implemented
using the CA MICS Information Center Facility (MICF).  The
reports are categorized as general workload, service,
performance, and reliability.

These inquiries are an immediate source of useful reporting,
which you can modify to meet your needs.  You can use
Execution Time Data Selection panels to tailor the output
from these inquiries.  In addition, you can develop
customized reports by modifying copies of the distributed
inquiries.

MICF inquiry names follow the form cccptn, where:

ccc =        The three-character product identifier. The
             value of this field is IDM for CA MICS Analyzer
             for CA-IDMS.

p =          The type of graphic.  The value of this field is
             either C (color graphic), L (list), or P
             (printer graphic).

t =          The frequency with which the report may be
             executed.  The value of this field is X
             (detail), D (days), W (weeks), M (months), and Y
             (years).

n =          An integer or character that differentiates this
             inquiry from others.
