2.1.3 Standard Output

COMMON REPORT ELEMENTS

Each report has several lines of title information that give
the name of the report, the installation name, the run date,
the date(s) being reported, and the start and end times of
the period covered by the report.  The following elements are
in the standard title part of each report:

Installation  On some reports, the installation name that is
Name:         defined at CA MICS system installation time.
              This value is centered in the first line of the
              report.  For more information about this value,
              consult your CA MICS System Administrator.

Component     The name of the performance component, centered
Name:         in the first or second line of each page.

Report Name:  The name of the report, centered in the third
              line of the heading.  It cannot be modified.

SYSID or      The CA MICS logical SYSID being reported. Data
System:       from multiple systems cannot be combined using
              standard control parameters.

ZONE:         If data is being reported by zone, the zone
              number is shown.

RUNDATE:      The date the report was run.

REPORT OPTIONS

The CA MICS Performance Manager reports are initially
delivered with defaults.  These defaults will change based on
the settings of the last execution of the query.  For
example, the Estimated MSU Consumption report is delivered
with a hard-coded default value of DETAIL for the timespan.
If the user changes the timespan so that report will run at
the WEEKS timespan, then the next execution of this report
will default to the WEEKS timespan.

The Report supports standard time selection options, as well
as SYSID selection and external data selection.  These
options are controlled by the control options on the
execution panel.

All graphs and reports can be produced at multiple
summarization levels. Dates and titles will be adjusted
appropriately based on the timespan and summarization level
chosen for the execution. After data has been collected for a
time period, this summarization capability can be used to
"drill down" to a specific time frame.

The following analysis queries are discussed in more detail:
