3.3.2 Weekly Batch Reports

The Weekly Batch Management Objective Reports provide
management with a way to determine if its primary batch
processing objectives are being attained.  One-page charts
illustrate each 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
weekly job stream from the DETAIL time-spans of the Batch
User Job Activity File (BATJOB).

An hour of the day selection facility is provided so that the
weekly reports may reflect the entire 24 hours of each day or
a user-specified range.


REPORT FORMAT

The heading lines contain the installation name (e.g., XYZ
Manufacturing, Inc.), the frequency identification (e.g.,
WEEKLY BATCH MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES), the objective being
reported (e.g., BATCH 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 charts the measurement being reported
(e.g., jobcount).  A dashed line represents the established
management objective; its location may be rounded for scaling
purposes.


USER OPTIONS

All weekly management objective reports use the following
user option:

    o  Hourly Selection Range for Weekly Reports -  the start
       and end hours of the day that are to be included in
       the weekly batch reports.  We suggest that the hours
       be set to include the entire day (08 18).

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