2.9.3 Standard Output

COMMON ELEMENTS

This section describes elements common to all WLM Goal Mode
Service 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 year-month.

o For the weekly report, the week is identified by
  month/day/year.  The day is determined from the CA MICS
  file elements used to generate the report.

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

o For the hourly level reports, the hour is given in the
  column title along with the month and day as
  hour-month/day.  The day is determined from the CA MICS
  file elements used to generate the report.

The following elements are in the standard title portion 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,
              ask your system administrator.

Component     The name of the CA MICS performance component,
Name:         centered 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.

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

              number is shown.

ADDITIONAL ELEMENTS

Importance:   Most reports show the relative importance
              assigned to the various service/report class
              performance goal types.  See the CA MICS data
              dictionary entries for elements WLMGOLTP and
              WLMGOLRI.  In addition, the Performance Manager
              Option defines importance level 6 and labels it
              Discretionary to give discretionary and 'other'
              work an importance distinct from the 'system'
              goal, which has a level of zero.

              When reporting by WLM Report Class, this
              element may show the value Combined Work.  This
              indicates that more than one workload type
              contributed to this report class period, thus
              making it a heterogeneous report class period.

Reporting     The first row of some reports shows the length
Interval:     of time (duration) that contributed to the
              report.

% 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.
