3.3.2.1 Report Format Description

The weekly report is produced as a standard process in the CA
MICS weekly job stream.  The report is produced from the most
recent cycle (01) of the Service Class Resource Consumption
(WLMSEC) file, maintained in the database's WEEKS timespan.
The SAS CHART procedure is used to produce the desired
bar-chart reports.

The heading lines contain the installation name (for example,
XYZ Manufacturing, Inc.), the frequency identification (that
is, Weekly WLM Management Objectives), the objective being
reported, the computing system (that is, SYSID) on which the
WLM activity was measured, the week, and the zone number and
name.

The bar chart illustrates the day and zone, and the
measurement being reported (service units).

A horizontal axis is used to chart the measure being reported
and it is with this axis that the management objective for
this category is defined.  The horizontal axis is first
established through the SAS CHART AXIS option which
identifies the highest value to be represented on the
horizontal axis.  The SAS CHART REF option formats a dashed
line down the page to illustrate the management objective.


Consider the chart of resource consumption by service class
(see Figure 3-25).  The title describes the management
objective as utilizing within 30% of the total service units
for the hour.  The measure that would be charted is the
percentage of resource consumed (service units) for each
service class by hour.  The horizontal axis therefore would
be set up for a maximum value of 100 (for 100%) and the
horizontal reference line would be printed at the 30% level.
This reference line then clearly depicts how the objective
was satisfied or missed for each hour of the day.

Note especially that the location of the reference line may
be rounded for purposes of scaling the axis.  Each horizontal
line may have a unit value of 2.5%, and therefore a reference
line specification of 32% would not fall directly on a
vertical axis coordinate.  In this case, the 32% line would
be shown as a line at 30%.

The member WKRMFMBO in the sharedprefix.MICS.SOURCE library
contains the SAS statements for producing the chart report.
