5.4.6 Report Class File (WLM_EA)

The Report Class File contains information about the optional
report classes to which work requests or transactions may be
assigned.  This is a CA MICS parallel file containing a
subset of the same data elements as the Service Class File
(WLMSEA).  Information in this file includes indicators
showing the presence or absence of transaction response
times, resource usage data, and general delays data.  Use
these indicators to determine if there are pertinent
observations for a report class in these files:
 
  o  WLM_EC - Report Class Resource Consumption
  o  WLM_ED - Report Class General Execution Delay
  o  WLM_EM - Report Class Response Time
 
Because report groups usually consist of aggregates of
service classes with differing goals, no goal information is
provided for report classes.
 
Information in the WLM_EA file is derived from the type 72
subtype 3 RMF Workload Activity and Storage Data record.
 
Note:  Placing report class information in separate database
files eliminates the possibility of double-counting service
consumption during workload analyses.

The following sections describe the file's organization, list
the data elements maintained, and provide usage hints.
