3.1.1.1 Report Format Descriptions

The Daily Management Objective Reports are produced as a
standard process in the CA MICS Daily Job Stream. Each of the
report are produced from the IMS System Activity File
(DAYS.IMSISY01) and from the IMS User Activity File
(DAYS.IMSISU01), maintained in the database's DAYS timespan.
The SAS CHART procedure is used to produce the desired
bar-chart reports.

The heading lines contain the installation name (e.g., XYZ
Manufacturing, Inc.), the frequency identification (e.g.,
DAILY IMS MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES), the objective being
reported (e.g., IMS SERVICE OF 85% OF ALL ACTIVITY WITHIN 15
SECONDS), and the computing system  (e.g., SYSID code) on
which the IMS processing was measured.

The bar-chart illustrates the hour of the day along the
horizontal axis and the measurement being reported (e.g., %
of total), along the vertical axis.  The day being reported
is identified below the hours of the day, just under the
horizontal axis.

The vertical axis charts the measure being reported and
defines the management objective for this category.  The
vertical axis is established through the SAS CHART AXIS
option that identifies the highest value to be represented
on the vertical axis.  The management objective is then
illustrated through the SAS CHART REF option and a dashed
line appears across the page to illustrate the management
objective.

Consider the charting of the hourly objective for short
service (response time, see Figure 3-3).  The title describes
the management objective as 95% within 5 seconds for short
activity.  The measure to be charted is the percentage of
short events satisfied within 5 seconds for each hour of the
day.  The vertical axis displays a maximum value of 100 (for
100%) and the vertical reference line is printed at the 95%
level.  This reference line clearly depicts how the objective
was satisfied or missed for each hour of the day.

NOTE:  The location of the reference line on the vertical
axis may be rounded for purposes of scaling the axis.  Each
vertical line may have a unit value of 2.5%, therefore  a
reference line specification of 86% would not fall directly
on a vertical axis coordinate.  In this case, the 86% line
would be shown at 85%.


The member DYIMSMBO in the sharedprefix.MICS.SOURCE library
contains the SAS statements for producing the five chart
reports.  The member #IMSMOBJ contains the SAS MACROs used by
DYIMSMBO.  #IMSMOBJ also contains the specifications for
defining the objectives to be displayed and may be modified
to reflect your installation's unique management objectives.
For help in defining your installation objectives reference
the section 3.1.4.1, Report Options.

The remainder of this section explains and illustrates each
of the standard Daily IMS Management Objective Reports.
