3.1.2.6 Weekly IMS Throughput Report - Transactions

This report quantifies the total IMS throughput in terms of
transactions processed on a prime-time hourly basis for the
last seven days for each computing system.

The management objective to be tracked in evaluating the IMS
throughput rate is the number of transactions processed per
hour.

Figure 3-10 illustrates the Weekly IMS Throughput Report
based on a management objective of processing less than 6,000
transactions in any given hour.

The following user options apply to this report:

Daily IMS Transaction Rate:  The target and maximum number of
transactions processed per hour by IMS.  The target number
sets a reference line on the graph and the maximum number
sets the maximum value on the graph's vertical axis.

    _IMSCAX and _IMSCREF define the vertical axis maximum
         scaling and reference line, respectively, for hourly
         transaction rate execution in the daily and weekly
         reports.

    _IMSCAX   5000  %
    _IMSCREF  4000  %

A full description of the user options is provided in section
3.1.4.1, Report Options.

Figure 3-10 quantifies the transactions processed by
horizontally representing the hours of the seven days and
vertically charting the transactions processed.

The management objective for IMS throughput is shown by a
dashed horizontal reference line printed across the chart.
In Figure 3-10 the reference line is shown at the 4,000
transactions processed level of the vertical axis.  Any hour
for which the charted bar exceeds this reference line signals
that the objective to contain throughput was missed for that
hour.

The maximum capacity for transaction processing is indicated
by the top of the vertical axis which is set at a value of
5,000 transactions per hour.
