3.3.1.1 Daily Batch Job Initiation Report


The Daily Batch Job Initiation Report quantifies the total
batch activity on an hourly basis for the identified day and
computing system.  This chart is unusual in that it depicts
more than one measure of performance:  initiations by hour
and turnaround objective achievement.  You can use the report
for evaluating the throughput and turnaround service for all
batch activity.

Figure 3-16 illustrates a sample report.  The horizontal axis
represents the hour of the day.  The vertical axis charts the
number of batch jobs initiated that received the service
indicated -- E for exceeded, H for hit, and M for missed.
The management objective is shown by the dashed horizontal
reference line printed across the chart.

To understand the use of the E, H, or M service received
symbols, examine hour 4 in Figure 3-16.  Each unit on the
vertical axis equals 7.5 jobs processed.  Hour 4 shows that a
total of 52.5 jobs were processed that hour, out of which 15
missed their turnaround objective (M), 15 received their
requested turnaround (H), and 22.5 jobs received service that
exceeded what was requested (E).

In Figure 3-16 the reference line is shown at the 100 job
level of the vertical axis.  Therefore, any hour for which
the charted bar falls below this reference line signals that
the total batch job initiation objective was missed for that
hour.

The following user option applies to this report:

    o  Daily Jobs Initiated - the target and maximum number
       of jobs submitted per hour.  The target amount is used
       for a reference line on the graph and the maximum is
       used to set the maximum value on the graph's vertical
       axis.

The SAS MACROs _SMFJSAX and _SMFPTR define the vertical axis
maximum scaling and reference line for the number of jobs
initiated by hour in the daily and weekly reports.

    MACRO _SMFJSAX 240 %
    MACRO _SMFPTR 100 %

A full description of the user options is provided in Section
3.3.4, Running the Batch Management Objective Reports.
