3. REPORTS

The CA MICS IMS Analyzer produces reports using the batch and
interactive reporting facilities of the CA MICS IS Management
Support System.  The reports are categorized as Management
Objective, MICF Inquiry, and Exception reports.

CA MICS Management Objective reports provide a concise
representation of an installation's workload, resource use,
and response to the workload against installation defined
objectives.

MICF inquiries are precomposed printer reports and color
graphics that are accessed via the CA MICS Information Center
Facility (MICF).  MICF inquiries help you produce meaningful
reports from the CA MICS database and provide the flexibility
to code and save your own report formats.

Exception reports provide a concisely integrated and itemized
list of the problems impacting an installation's
effectiveness in terms of availability, service, workload,
standards, security, and performance.  Exception reports are
discussed in Chapter 4 of this guide.

This chapter discusses the report categories and how reports
are produced.
