3.3.3.2 Monthly Resource Consumption Report

This report quantifies the service units consumed on a
monthly basis for the identified day and computing system.

The management objective to be tracked to evaluate the
resources used by each service class is a percentage measure
of the total service units used for each month.  Figure 3-26
illustrates the Monthly Resource Consumption Report based on
a management objective of utilizing less than 30% of the
service units within each month.

The following user options apply to this report:

Monthly Percentage Limit:  The percentage of total resource
consumption.  This is the high-level limit for all service
classes.

  RMFMREF macro variable defines the reference line for
  identifying a high percentage concentration of service unit
  consumption by a given service class in the monthly
  reports.

  %LET RMFMREF = 30;

A full description of the user options is provided in section
3.3.4.1, Report Options.

Figure 3-26 quantifies the resources consumed.  The vertical
axis represents the months, and the horizontal axis charts
the percentage of service units consumed within the month.

The management objective for percentage of resources consumed
is shown by the dashed vertical reference line printed down
the chart.  In Figure 3-26, the reference line is shown at
the 30% level.  Therefore, in any month that the bar exceeds
this reference line, the resource consumption objective was
missed.
