3.3 MICF Inquiries

The CA MICS Network Analyzer provides a set of precomposed
report and color graphics inquiries categorized for analysis
by service, reliability, performance, and workload.  These
inquiries provide an immediate source of useful reporting and
color graphics presentations, and are implemented using the
CA MICS Information Center Facility (MICF).  You may tailor
the output from these inquiries using Execution Time Data
Selection panels.  In addition, you may develop customized
reports for your installation with a minimum of effort by
modifying copies of the distributed inquiries.

The distributed inquiry names have been designed for ease of
identification.  Each name identifies the component being
reported on, the type of output it has (i.e., color graphics,
printer graphics, or printed reports), and the timespan it
is produced from (i.e., daily, weekly, monthly).  It also has
its own unique identifier to distinguish it from other unique
inquiries of the same type.

Consider, for example, the MICF inquiry SNTCDI:

 1) SNT indicates that the inquiry comes from the CA MICS
    Network Analyzer.

 2) C indicates that the output is color graphics.

 3) D indicates that the timespan is DAYS.

 4) I is an alphabetic identifier that distinguishes the
      inquiry from other CA MICS Network MICF inquiries that
      also have color graphics output and are produced from
      the DAYS timespan.

The list of distributed MICF inquiries, instructions on how
to modify them, and descriptions of the output that they
produce are provided in the following sections:
