3.3.3 Monthly Batch Reports

The Monthly Batch Management Objective Reports provide
management a way to determine if its primary batch processing
objectives are being attained.  One-page charts illustrate
the activity by month and zone in reference to the
established objectives for number of jobs initiated, service
received, and service unit consumption.

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


REPORT FORMAT

The heading lines contain the installation name (e.g., XYZ
Manufacturing, Inc.), the frequency identification (e.g.,
MONTHLY 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 zone and the month being
reported, while the vertical axis charts the measurement
being reported (e.g., jobcount).  A dashed line represents
the established management objective.


USER OPTIONS

All monthly management objective reports use the following
user option:

    o  Zone Selection for Monthly Reporting -     the zone or
       range of zones that is to be included in the monthly
       batch reports.  Normally all zones should be reported;
       therefore, the range should be 1 to 9.  The batch
       reports may be limited to the range of zones required.

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