3.3.1.5 Daily VM Throughput Report

This report quantifies the total VM throughput in terms of
the number of Q1 drops processed on an hourly basis for the
identified day and computing system.

The management objective to be tracked for evaluating the VM
throughput rate is a measure of the number of Q1 drops
processed per hour.

The only user option that applies to this report is the Daily
VM Command Rate, which is the target and maximum number of Q1
drops processed per hour by VM.  The target number is used
for a reference line on the graph and the maximum number is
used to set the maximum value on the graph's vertical axis.

&VMCCAX and &VMCCREF define the vertical axis maximum scaling
and reference line for hourly Q1 drop rate execution in the
daily reports.  Therefore, to define a maximum of 250,000 Q1
drops processed per hour and a target of 100,000 per hour,
code:

     &LET VMCCAX = 250000;
     &LET VMCCREF = 100000;

A full description of the user options is provided in Section
3.3.4.1, VM Report Options.

Figure 3-54 illustrates the Daily VM Throughput Report based
on a management objective of processing less than 100,000 Q1
drops in any given hour.  The sample report shown here
quantifies the number of Q1 drops processed with the
horizontal axis representing the hours of the day and the
vertical axis charting the Q1 drops processed.

The management objective for VM throughput is shown by the
dashed horizontal reference line printed across the chart.
In Figure 3-54, the reference line is shown at the 100,000 Q1
drops processed level of the vertical axis.  Therefore, any
hour for which the charted bar exceeds this reference line
signals that the objective to contain throughput was missed
for that hour.

The vertical axis is set with a maximum value of 250,000
queue 1 drops processed level to ensure uniform scaling from
report to report.  If the value is exceeded, SAS uses the
highest value encountered to set this vertical axis maximum
value.
