3.3.2.1 Report Format Descriptions


The Weekly Management Objective Reports are produced as a
standard process in the CA MICS Weekly Job Stream. Each of
the reports is produced from the TSO System Activity Files
for the last seven days (DAYS.TSOTSO01-DAYS.TSOTSO07),
maintained in the data base's DAYS time-span.  The SAS CHART
procedure is used to produce the desired bar chart reports.

The report heading contains the installation name (e.g., XYZ
Manufacturing, Inc.), the frequency identification (e.g.,
WEEKLY TSO MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES), the objective being
reported (e.g., TSO SERVICE OF 85% OF ALL ACTIVITY WITHIN 15
SECONDS), and the computing system (e.g., SYSID code) on
which the TSO processing was measured for the week.

The format of the bar chart illustrates the hour of the day
within a day of week grouping along the horizontal axis and
the measurement being reported (e.g., service units) along
the vertical axis.  The day being reported is identified
below the hours of the day, just under the horizontal axis.

The vertical axis is used to chart the measure being reported
and it is with this axis that the management objective for
this category is defined.  The vertical axis is first
established through the SAS CHART procedure AXIS option which
simply identifies the highest value to be represented on the
vertical axis.  The management objective is then illustrated
through the SAS CHART procedure REF option and formatted with
a dashed line across the page to illustrate the management
objective.

Consider the charting of the hourly objective for short
service.  The title describes the management objective as 95%
within 5 seconds for short activity.  The measure that is
charted is the percentage of short events satisfied within 5
seconds for each hour of the day.  Therefore, the vertical
axis would be set up for a maximum value of 100 (for 100%)
and the vertical reference line would be printed at the 95%
level.  This reference line then clearly depicts how the
objective was satisfied or missed for each hour of the day.

The member WKTSOMBO in the sharedprefix.MICS.SOURCE library
contains the SAS statements for producing the chart reports.
The member #TSOMOBJ contains the SAS macro variables used by
WKTSOMBO.  The #TSOMOBJ member contains the specifications
for defining the objectives to be displayed and may be
modified to reflect your installation's unique management
objectives.

The remainder of this section explains and illustrates each
of the standard Weekly TSO Management Objective Reports.
