Depending on your CA MICS installation options,
these files may not be active in the MONTHS
timespan. Check with your CA MICS Administrator
if you have problems when trying to use this
report.
Function: This facility allows the Storage Administrator to
monitor key storage indicators on a month-by-month
basis. These indicators enable accurate
projections of future storage needs, both at the
application level and the system level. The
indicators reported by this facility are also
useful for detecting trends that could indicate
potential problems or areas in which storage
resources are not being used efficiently. These
reports, along with the Daily Application Resource
Usage reports, provide both a long view and a
short view of storage capacity and performance
problems.
The ability to process data from multiple sources
makes the reports produced even more valuable.
Options allow the user to target a single storage
medium, such as real DASD or HSM backup storage,
or to group data from multiple media on the same
chart. This second type of reporting is useful
when analyzing the flow of data across multiple
types of storage media.
The types of data that can be selected for
reporting include the number of data sets, amount
of space being allocated, percentages of data sets
and space in certain categories, and the amount of
allocated versus used space.
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 its location (such as
real DASD, or HSM level 1 migration).
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.
When plots are requested, up to nine different
elements may be plotted on the same chart.
SMS
Issues: The ability to summarize by an SMS storage or
management class makes it easy to monitor the
long-term activity within each of your defined
classes. Many of the elements you can select for
reporting are useful for monitoring an SMS
migration effort, or to make sure SMS is operating
correctly after migration is complete.
ELEMENT DESCRIPTIONS
SYSID
This value appears at the top of each page and
identifies the System Identifier (system) to which
this data applies.
Media
Storage Class
Management Class
Group
The top line of each page also indicates the
summary group to which the values on this plot
apply. Depending on the report option chosen,
this summarization will be done by media (DASD,
VSAM, MIGRATE, or BACKUP), SMS storage class, SMS
management class, or based on the CA MICS
accounting codes in the data. The label to the
left of the summary value will be one of the
values shown above, depending on the summarization
option chosen.
Vertical Axis (Value)
The numeric values distributed vertically down the
left side of each page represent the scale of the
numeric values being plotted on that page. When
requesting color graphics plots, you have the
option of specifying the values that will appear
on this axis. This should be done with care,
because all plots and groups will have to adapt to
the values you specify. For printer plots, or
when values are not specified, SAS will generate
the values automatically, based on the content of
the plotted data. We suggest that these SAS
defaults be used whenever possible, because they
will avoid many potential problems. Care should
also be taken when specifying multiple elements on
one plot, so that the elements chosen will have a
similar range of values.
Horizontal Axis (yy/mm)
Plots on the horizontal axis represent the year and
month corresponding to the value being plotted.
The number of entries appearing on the horizontal
axis is determined by the number of cycles of CA MICS
data specified as input to the inquiry.
Footnotes
The footnote(s) section of each graph is
important, because it indicates the names of the
data element(s) that are plotted on the graph. Up
to 9 elements may be plotted on the same graph, in
which case 9 footnotes will appear at the bottom
of each page. For printer plots, an alphabetic
character A-I will appear to the left of each
description, identifying the character used on the
plot to represent that particular element. On
color graphic plots, the letter does not appear,
because the color of the footnote should
correspond with the color of the plot point/line
on the graph. If different colors do not appear
for each point and footnote, your MICF options
should be modified to specify different colors. A
brief description of the possible values in the
footnote section, and what those values represent,
is given below:
