3.1.2.1 Report Format Descriptions

The Weekly Management Objective Reports are produced as a
standard process in the CA MICS Weekly Job Stream. Each
report is produced from the IMS System Activity Files for the
last seven days by looking at DAYS.IMSISY01-DAYS.IMSISY10
maintained in the CA database's DAYS time-period. 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.,
WEEKLY 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 for the week.

The format of the bar-chart illustrates the hour of the day
within a day of week grouping along the horizontal axis and
the measurement being reported (e.g., # of IMS transactions),
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, Figure 3-8).  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 then clearly depicts how the
objective was satisfied or missed for each hour of the day.


The member WKIMSMBO 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
WKIMSMBO.  #IMSMOBJ 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 Section
3.1.4.1, Report Options.

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