3. REPORTS

The CA MICS Batch and Operations Analyzer produces reports
using the batch and interactive reporting facilities of CA
MICS. The reports can be categorized as standard analysis,
MICF inquiry, management objective, exception reports, and
CSV (Comma Separated Value) extracts.

CA MICS standard analysis reports provide a concise
representation of a data center's workload, resource use, and
response to the workload.

MICF inquiries are printer reports and color graphics that
are accessed via the CA MICS Information Center Facility
(MICF).  MICF inquiries produce meaningful reports from the
CA MICS database and provide you with the flexibility to code
and save your own report formats.

Management reports provide a concise graphic or tabular
representation of the data center's processing objectives and
how well they have been met.

Exception reports contain an integrated and itemized list of
the problems impacting a data center's effectiveness in terms
of availability, service, workload, standards, security, and
performance.  Exception reports are discussed in Chapter 4 of
this guide.

CSV extracts are a list of data extracted from the CA MICS
database and stored in Comma Separated Value (CSV) format.
The information extracted is accessible via the CA MICS
Workstation and can automatically generate charts using the
CA MICS Reporting application.
