3.3.3.1 Report Format Descriptions


The monthly report is produced as a standard process in the
CA MICS monthly job stream.  The report is produced from the
12 most recent cycles (01-12) of the Service Class Resource
Consumption (WLMSEC) file, maintained in the database's
MONTHS. The SAS CHART procedure is used to produce the
desired reports.

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

The bar chart illustrates the service class, the month, and
the measurement being reported (service units).

A horizontal axis is used to chart the measurement 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 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 the resource consumption by service
class (see Figure 3-26).  The title describes the management
objective as within 30% of the total service units for the
month.  The measurement that would be charted is the
percentage of resource consumed (service units) for each
service class by month.  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 month.

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%, so 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 MNRMFMBO in the sharedprefix.MICS.SOURCE library
contains the SAS statements for producing the chart report.

Report Options.
