1.2.2 Exception Analyzer Reports

The CA MICS Platform provides an Exception Analyzer that
works with CA MICS data integration applications to provide
consolidated reporting of exception conditions across systems
and data sources.  An "exception" is any condition that
deviates from the expected norm or any missed objective in
system performance or service.

CA MICS data integration applications detect exceptions by
testing daily data against user-defined thresholds.  Each
application has an exception value analyzer to help determine
those thresholds.  Each detected exception is assigned a
severity level and is associated with a management area.

The DB2 Analyzer is delivered with several exceptions tests,
and you can easily add your own tests (refer to Section 2.4
in the CA MICS Standard Reports Guide).

The exception reports produce increasing levels of detail to
address the needs of different audiences and, when combined
with exceptions from other CA MICS applications, make up a
powerful diagnostic tool for your organization.  The
Exception Analyzer reports delivered with CA MICS are
described in Section 2.2 of the CA MICS Standard Reports
Guide.
