3.1.3 Monthly IMS Management Objective Reports

The monthly objective reports help management determine if
primary IMS processing objectives are being met.  Five charts
illustrate the month's activity by average and maximum
prime-time hour activity, for the twelve months of the
current year.  The charts report against established hourly
objectives for short, medium, and total response, transaction
load, and availability.

A user option is provided for zone selection.

Zone Selection for Monthly Reporting:  The zone or range of
zones to be included in the Monthly IMS Reports.  Normally
all zones should be reported and therefore the range should
be 1 to 9.  The IMS Reports can also be limited to only the
range of zones required.

    _IMSLOZN and _IMSHIZN define the low and high zones,
         respectively, in the months input for selection of
         the IMS activity to be reported in the monthly
         reports.

    MACRO _IMSLOZN   1  %
    MACRO _IMSHIZN   9  %
