3.1.4.5 CICCWQ: Weekly CICS Availability

The Weekly CICS Availability graph shows weekly CICS
availability as well as workload for the last 7 days.  It
shows how well CICS has been meeting its service level
(availability) objective and the trend in CICS workload.

REPORT FORMAT:

This inquiry produces an overlay plot for each CICS region
found in input.  It plots CICS hour availability (percent
available) on the vertical axis, while the corresponding
workload on the right.  A horizontal reference line is drawn
at the user-specified point, the default of which is 98, to
indicate the availability objective.

INQUIRY ID:

     CICCWQ (color graphic format)

DATA SOURCE (file/timespan):

     CICCSY from the DAYS timespan

DATA ELEMENTS USED:

     CICSID   - CICS Identification
     CSYUPTM  - CICS Availability Time
     CSYTRANS - Total Transactions Processed
     WEEK     - Week of Year
     MONTH    - Month of Year
     YEAR     - Year of Century
     ZONE     - Time Zone
     SYSID    - System Identification

   CALCULATIONS:

     Percent availability = CSYUPTM/calculated up time based
              on ZONE*100

EXECUTION-TIME PARAMETERS:

     UNIT   - Select one or more CA MICS data base units by
              entering the data base IDs.  Enter multiple IDs
              with a blank following each ID value.

     CYCLE  - Optionally, define CA MICS input file cycle
              range.


     SYSID  - Optionally, specify the SYSID to be reported.
              If no value is specified, the value *ALL is
              used. It causes all SYSIDs found in input to
              be summarized together.


     CICSID - Optionally, specify the CICSID to be reported.
              If no value is specified, the value *ALL is
              used which causes all CICSIDs found in input to
              be summarized together.

     DATE   - Optionally, enter start of the report period in
              ddmmmyy format.

              For this inquiry, the default is the last seven
              days.

     ZONE   - Optionally, select one or more CA MICS time
              zones.  Valid values are numbers 1 through 9.

     BY  -    Optionally, specify the BY variable (either
              SYSID or CICSID) to produce separate graphs for
              each system.  Otherwise, all SYSIDs and CICSIDs
              are summarized together and displayed on one
              graph.

     DEVICE - Optionally, override the default colors and
              patterns used by specifying a different device
              type.  The default is TERMINAL.  Because the
              code for color graphics is not generated by
              MICF, the device parameter you specified in
              MICF is not applicable here.


     FOOTNOTE-Optionally, specify whether or not the MICF
              inquiry ID should be displayed as a footnote on
              the graph.  The default value is NO.

USER EXITS:

     If the MICF execution-time parameters are insufficient
     to select the data you need, you can invoke one of the
     following global exits to further manipulate the input
     file.  Additionally, you can override the global exit
     definitions in MICF using independent source statements.
     For detailed information on coding the exits, refer to
     Section 3.2 of this guide.

     The global exits are defined by macros in the source
     module CICRPTGL in sharedprefix.MICS.SOURCE.  The
     following exits are available to this inquiry:

     %GCIC  -  Select CICSIDs for report.

     %GCNTR -  Assign value to the variable CENTER which
               defines the logical grouping of SYSIDs.
               CENTER is set to SYSID by default.

     %GSYS  -  Select SYSIDs for report.

     In addition to the above exits, the module CICRPTGL also
     contains macro variables which set default values for
     service level objectives.  Please see Section 3.2 to
     override the default values.
