Source:   ACS Test Case Library
          ACS Testing Output Report File

Function: This facility analyzes the results of the ACS
          routine testing process to make sure your ACS
          routines are working correctly.  Another CA MICS
          StorageMate facility, the ACS Test Case Creation
          facility, is used to build a library of ACS test
          cases from your CA MICS data.  That library is read
          by the ISMF ACS Test Facility, and each test case
          is passed to your production/test ACS Routine(s).
          The test results are written by ISMF to a report
          output file.  This facility reads both the test
          case library and the testing output file, merges
          them, and provides a number of reports useful in
          evaluating the operation of the ACS routines.

          The group reports summarize the results of each ACS
          routine, showing the various class/group names that
          were assigned by the routine, and the number of
          data sets assigned to each of those names.  Space
          values are also reported, to assist in the space
          planning needed for the various groups.

          Further information about the use of the ACS Test
          Facility is available in the facility instructions
          at the end of this section.

Features: Options allow you to restrict reporting to only
          those ACS routines specified.  For example, when
          executing the ISMF Test Facility you can specify
          that all four types of ACS routines be executed
          (Storage Class, Management Class, Data Class,
          Storage Group), but when running reports you can
          only be interested in results of the Data Class
          routine.

          Up to eight different reports may be generated by
          this facility, each showing a different view of the
          test results, or showing a different summarization.
          The reports can be selected in any combination.

SMS
Issues:   An important phase of any SMS conversion project is
          making sure your ACS routines are operating
          correctly and achieving their desired results.
          This problem is no less critical after SMS
          conversion, as regular maintenance to the ACS
          routines will still be necessary.  Because of their
          critical nature, accuracy of ACS routines is just
          as important as the accuracy of any system exit.
          Using this facility to carefully analyze your test
          results will help insure your success in this
          critical task.

COLUMN DESCRIPTIONS

    SYSID
          This value appears at the top of each page and
          identifies the system to which this data applies.
          The System Identifier (SYSID) is copied from the
          CA MICS data used in creating the test cases.

    Storage Class Name
    Management Class Name
    Data Class Name
    Storage Group Name
          The first column of the report will have one of
          these titles, indicating the ACS routine to which
          the statistics on the report apply.  A separate
          report will be produced for each ACS routine for
          which test data was found in the input report file.
          The values under the column heading indicate the
          various names assigned by the ACS routine.  A value
          of '(NONE)' indicates that no class/group name was
          assigned by the ACS routine to the test cases in
          that group.  A value of '*RC=nnnn' indicates a non-
          zero return code from the ACS routine, where 'nnnn'
          is the numeric representation of the return code.

    Number of Data Sets
          A numeric value indicating the number of test cases
          assigned by the ACS routine to this class or group
          name.

    Percent of Data Sets
          The percentage of all test cases for which this ACS
          routine was called that were assigned to this
          particular class or group.

    Space Allocated M-Bytes
          The amount of space, reported in megabytes, that is
          being allocated by the data sets that were assigned
          to this particular class or group.  This value is
          calculated using data set allocation statistics
          extracted from CA MICS at the time the test cases
          were created.

    Percent of Megabytes
          Based on the total megabytes allocated by all the
          data sets for which this ACS routine was invoked,
          the percentage of that space allocated by the data
          sets assigned to this particular class or group.

    Minimum Size K-Bytes
          The smallest amount of space allocated by any one
          of the data sets assigned to this class or group,
          expressed in kilobytes.

    Maximum Size K-Bytes
          The largest amount of space allocated by any one of
          the data sets assigned to this class or group,
          expressed in kilobytes.

    Average Size K-Bytes
          The average amount of space allocated by the data
          sets assigned to this class or group, expressed in
          kilobytes.  This is calculated by dividing the
          total space allocated for all data sets in the
          group by the number of data sets assigned to the
          group.
