COMMON REPORT ELEMENTS

Each report has several lines of title information that give
the name of the report, the dates being reported, the data
summarization level, the product summary level, 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 Name:  The name of the report, centered in the first
              line of the heading.  It cannot be modified.

SYSPLEX:      The name of the sysplex from which the data
              originated.

              the data being displayed on that page of the

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 LPAR Product Consumption report is delivered
with a hard-coded default value of DAYS 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.

All reports support standard time selection options, as well
as SYSID selection and external data selection. They also
support subsetting the input data based on the Vendor option.
When a vendor is specified, only that data will be selected
for reporting.  These options are controlled by the control
options on the query composition panel.

The following analysis reports are discussed in more detail:

    1 - LPAR Product Consumption Report
    2 - Combined Hourly System Usage Reports
