3.3.1 Daily Batch Reports

The Daily Batch Management Objective Reports provide
management with a way to determine if its primary batch
processing objectives are being met.  One-page charts
illustrate the day's activity by hour with respect to the
established hourly objectives for number of jobs initiated,
service received, and service unit consumption.

The reports are produced as a standard process in the CA MICS
daily job stream from the DETAIL time-spans of the Batch User
Job Activity File (BATJOB) and the Batch User Job Suspend
File (BAT_JS).


REPORT FORMAT

The heading lines contain the installation name (e.g., XYZ
Manufacturing, Inc.), the frequency identification (e.g.,
DAILY BATCH MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES), the objective being
reported (e.g., JOB INITIATION), and the computing system
(e.g., SYSID code) on which the batch processing was
measured.

The horizontal axis represents the date and hour of the day,
while the vertical axis represents the measurement being
reported (e.g., jobcount).  A dashed line represents the
established management objective; its location may be rounded
for scaling purposes.


USER OPTION

All daily management objective reports use the following user
option:

    o  Hourly Selection Range for Daily Reports -   the start
       and end hours of the day that are to be included in
       the daily reports.  We suggest that the hours be set
       to include the entire day (00 23).

For information on defining your installation objectives, see
Section 3.3.4, Running the Batch Management Objective
Reports.
