Source:    VCADAA file at the MONTHS timespan

           HSMMIG file at the MONTHS timespan
           HSBBAC file at the MONTHS timespan

           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
           media, 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 may 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.

COLUMN DESCRIPTIONS

    TITLE 4
           The fourth report title line on each tabular
           report page indicates the indicator or element

           summary group to which the totals on each line
           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 over the

           Indicates the value for this particular element
           for this particular summary group during the month
           and year indicated in the column heading.

    Compound Growth Rate (%)
           Reports the monthly compound growth rate (CGR)
           calculated for this group using the values from
