2.2.3.1 Common Report Elements


This section describes elements common to all RSM Analysis
reports.  Options that are unique to a specific report are
documented with that report.

TITLE ELEMENTS

Each report has five lines of title information available.
All reports give the name of the report, the name of the
component, and the run date.  In addition, the heading on the
System Storage Usage and Private Storage Usage Reports
details the data selected, the summary level of the report,
and the time periods reported by column:

o For the monthly report, the column title is month/year.

o For the weekly report, the first day of the week is given.

o For the daily report, the day is given as month/day/year.

o For the hourly level, the hour is given as the column title
  and the day of the month is given in the report title.

The following elements are in the standard title portion of
each report:

Name:         defined at CA MICS system installation time.
              This value is centered in the first line of the

              ask your system administrator.

              standard control parameters.

              number is shown.

RUNDATE:      The date the report was run.

ADDITIONAL ELEMENTS

Reporting     The first row of some reports shows the date,
Interval:     or date/time combination of the period being
              reported.  If the date being reported on is
              from the WEEKS timespan, the date reflects the
              starting date of the week, as derived from the
              CA MICS variable STARTTS.  In all other cases,
              the date reflects the ending date, derived from
              the CA MICS variable ENDTS.  In monthly
              reports, only the year and month portions of
              the date are displayed.

% CHANGE:     The last column on some reports, this field
              is the percent change for each report item
              (row) between the base period (first data
              column) and the last period (last data column).
              If data for only one period is reported, then
              dashes (---) are displayed.  If the base period
              is zero, then N/A is printed to indicate that a
              percent change could not be calculated.
