3.1.3.6 Monthly IMS Throughput Report - Transactions

This report quantifies the total IMS throughput in terms of
transactions processed on a zone basis for each month for
each computing system.

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

Figure 3-15 illustrates the Monthly IMS Throughput Report
based on a management objective of processing less than
1,400,000 transactions in any given zone.

The following user options apply to this report:

Monthly IMS Transaction Rate:  The target and maximum number
of transactions processed per zone within month 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.

    _IMSMCAX and _IMSMCRF define the vertical axis maximum
         scaling and reference line, respectively, for
         transactions executed by zone in the monthly
         reports.

    MACRO _IMSMCAX 200000  %
    MACRO _IMSMCRF 160000  %

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

Figure 3-15 quantifies the transactions processed by
horizontally representing zone within month 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 3-15 the reference line is shown at the 160,000
transactions processed level of the vertical axis.  Any zone
for which the charted bar exceeds this reference line signals
that the objective to contain throughput was missed for that
zone.

The maximum capacity for transaction processing is indicated
by the top of the vertical axis which is set at a value of
200,000 transactions per zone.
