The TSO Analyzer produces reports using the batch and
interactive reporting facilities of the CA MICS IS Management
Support System. The following types of reports are
available:
o Standard Analysis
o MICF Inquiry
o Management Objective
o Exception
Standard Analysis reports provide a concise representation of
an installation's workload, resource use, and response to the
workload.
MICF Inquiries are precomposed printer reports and color
graphics that you can access via the CA MICS Information
Center Facility (MICF). MICF inquiries help you to produce
meaningful reports quickly and easily from the CA MICS Data
Base data. They also provide you with the flexibility to
code and save your own report formats.
Management reports provide a concise graphic or tabular
representation of the installation's processing objectives
and how well they have been met.
Exception reports provide an integrated and itemized list of
the problems impacting an installation's effectiveness in
terms of availability, service, workload, standards,
security, and performance. Chapter 4 discusses Exception
reports in detail.
PRODUCING TSO REPORTS
The TSO Analyzer product produces reports using the standard
reporting capabilities of the CA MICS I/S Management Support
System (CA MICS I/S MSS). You can tailor the content of the
reports to match your requirements.
You can produce standard analysis reports either through
batch facilities or with the CA MICS Information Center
Facility (MICF). MICF is a menu-based system that operates
under IBM's Interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF).
Those familiar with ISPF commands will find that MICF menus
are similar to standard ISPF menus. The major features of
MICF include the following:
o Structured inquiry composition
o Logical inquiry modification
o Direct inquiry composition
o Execution-time specifications
o Output replay
o Facilities for expert users
o Distributed inquiries
o User-written reports
The standard operational reporting jobs DAILYRPT, WEEKRPT,
and MONTHRPT produce management objective and exception
reports. You can submit these jobs for execution either
manually or through the corresponding data base update job.
The dynamic execution options (EXECDEF) member in the unit
level PARMS library controls which report sets to produce.
Section 2.3.5 of the CA MICS Planning, Installation,
Operation, and Maintenance Guide describes the EXECDEF
member. Refer to Chapter 4 of this guide for information on
tailoring exception reports.
Interactive access to SAS with CA MICS is provided through
the MSAS dialog from the CA MICS Workstation Facility (MWF).
The MSAS dialog, running under ISPF, allows experienced SAS
users to exercise a flexible set of options for invoking
interactive full-screen SAS in the CA MICS environment. The
MSAS dialog supports several types of interactive reporting,
including:
- read-only access to a single unit database
- read-only access to multiple unit databases
- SAS without any unit databases
To support the interactive use of SAS with CA MICS, MSAS
allocates the required SAS files, work files, user files,
sort files, CA MICS libraries, and, optionally, the CA MICS
database. In addition to allocating CA MICS database files,
MSAS uses the standard CA MICS DDNAMEs (for example, SOURCE,
INCLLIB, and USOURCE) to allocate the CA MICS library data
sets. This lets you select SAS statements from the CA MICS
libraries, modify and execute these statements under SAS/DMS,
and then save the program for future use.
MSAS is a MICF application running under your private MICF
options. Through MICF Options, you can control the set up of
SAS execution parameters and temporary data set allocations.
You can also control the allocation of additional data sets
for one-time or repeated use.
To use MSAS, see Chapter 3 of this guide.
