Function:  This facility allows the storage administrator to
           monitor the daily movement of data between real
           DASD and HSM migration volumes.  Installations
           using HSM should experience a daily migration of
           less-active data to HSM level 1 and level 2
           volumes.  If HSM and/or SMS parameters are not set
           correctly, or if certain groups or users abuse HSM
           commands to cause data set movement, severe
           capacity or performance problems may result.

           A summary report will analyze the first and last
           dates found in the input data, and create a
           summary of the changes between those two dates.
           This could be used, for example, to analyze data
           from a Monday and a Friday and summarize changes
           that occurred during the week.  If potential
           problems are found, history reports may be used to
           provide more detailed information about certain
           groups or users.

           These reports may be useful when changes have been
           made to HSM or SMS parameters, to validate the
           changes are having their intended effect on the
           operation of HSM.

Features:  Summarization options allow you to analyze the
           data based on its owner (using one or more of the
           CA MICS accounting fields), its SMS storage class,
           its SMS management class, or by system (SYSID).
           These various levels of summarization make it easy
           to isolate particular problems or trends.

           Data filtering allows you to include data from
           selected summary groups.  For example, you could
           choose to report on specific departments groups or
           individuals, or on a specific SMS class.

           Output reports from this facility include tabular
           reports, printer plots, or color graphic plots.
           Reporting can be based on the number of data sets,
           the amount of allocated space, or both.

SMS
Issues:    The ability to summarize by an SMS storage or
           management class makes it easy to monitor the
           activity within each of your defined classes.  The
           ability to filter and summarize by a specific
           management class, for example, could be used to
           verify that changes made to the HSM parameters in
           a management class were working as intended.

COLUMN DESCRIPTIONS

    SYSID
           This value appears at the top of each page and
           identifies the System Identifier (system) to which
           this data applies.

    Owner
           Specifies the department, group, or individual to
           which this report applies.  This value is
           specified as a report option, and represents one
           or more of the CA MICS accounting fields assigned
           to a group of data sets.

    Storage Class
           If summarization by storage class was requested,
           this indicates the name of the SMS storage class
           represented by this report.  All of the data sets
           assigned to the indicated storage class were
           summarized to produce this report.

    Management Class
           If summarization by management class was
           requested, this indicates the name of the SMS
           management class represented by this report.  All
           of the data sets assigned to the indicated
           management class were summarized to produce this
           report.

    Date
           Indicates the date for which the statistics on
           this line apply.  The date is expressed in the
           format ddmmmyy.

    *TOTAL* Data Sets
           The total number of data sets allocated by the
           users of this summary group on the indicated date.
           This total includes data sets on primary storage,
           and DFHSM migration storage.

    *TOTAL* Megabytes
           The total amount of space allocated, in megabytes,
           by the users of this summary group on the
           indicated date.  This total includes space
           allocated on primary storage and DFHSM migration
           storage.

    Primary (Level 0) Data Sets
           The total number of data sets allocated on primary
           storage by the users of this summary group on the
           indicated date.

    HSM ML1 (Level 1) Data Sets
           The total number of data sets allocated on DFHSM
           migration level 1 storage by the users of this
           summary group on the indicated date.

    HSM ML2 (Level 2) Data Sets The total number of data sets
           allocated on DFHSM migration level 2 storage by
           the users of this summary group on the indicated
           date.

    Primary (Level 0) Megabytes
