3.1.4.1 Management Objective Report Options

The following options are provided for defining the IMS
Management Objective Reports.  The names of the SAS MACROs
used for option definition are also given.

Hourly Selection Range for Daily Reports:  The start and end
hours of the day that are to be included in the Daily IMS
Reports.   It is suggested that the hours be set to include
the entire day (00 23).

    _IMSDLHR and _IMSDHHR define the low and high hours of
         the day, respectively, for selection of the IMS
         activity to be reported in the daily reports.

Hourly Selection Range for Weekly Reports:  The start and end
hours of the day that are to be included in the Weekly IMS
Reports.  It is suggested that the hours be set to only
include the prime-time hours (e.g., 08 16).

    _IMSWLHR and _IMSWHHR define the low and high hours of
         the days, respectively, for selection of the IMS
         activity to be reported in the weekly reports.

Total Response Objective:  The percentage of all IMS
responses that were satisfied within a specified number of
seconds to reflect the installation's response objective for
total IMS activity (e.g., 90% within 15 seconds).

    _IMSPTR and _IMSSTR define the percentage target and
         second threshold, respectively, (e.g., 90% within 4
         seconds), for total IMS response time, used in
         daily, weekly, and monthly reports.

Short Response Objective:  The percentage of short IMS
responses that were satisfied within a specified number of
seconds to reflect the installation's response objective for
short IMS activity (e.g., 96% within 4 seconds).

    _IMSPSR and _IMSSSR define the percentage target and
         second threshold, respectively, (e.g., 90% within 4
         seconds), for short IMS response time, used in
         daily, weekly, and monthly reports.

Medium Response Objective:  The percentage of medium IMS
responses that were satisfied within a specified number of
seconds to reflect the installation's response objective for
medium IMS activity (e.g., 94% within 6 seconds).

    _IMSPMR and _IMSSMR define the percentage target, and
         second threshold, respectively, (e.g., 90% within 4
         seconds), for medium IMS response time, used in
         daily, weekly, and monthly reports.

Daily IMS Message Rate:  The target and maximum number of
messages processed per hour by IMS.  The target amount is
used for a reference line on the graph and the maximum is
used to set the maximum value on the graph's vertical axis.

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

Hourly IMS Outage Limits:  The target number of uptime
minutes per hour, generally set to 60, and the downtime
objective per hour, which is generally set to 0 minutes.

    _IMSUT and _IMSDT define the hourly uptime target and
         hourly downtime reference line, respectively, for
         daily and weekly reporting.

Zone Selection for Monthly Reporting:  The zone or range of
zones that are 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 could 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.

Monthly Availability Hours:  The number of hours that IMS is
targeted to be available in any given month for the specified
zones.

    _IMSMUPH and _IMSRUPH define the vertical axis maximum
         scaling and reference line, respectively, for the
         number of hours IMS was available by zone in the
         monthly reports.

Monthly IMS Message Rate:  The target and maximum number of
messages processed per zone within month by IMS.  The target
amount is used for a reference line on the graph and the
maximum is used to set 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.

The IMS report options, which are defined as SAS MACROs,
should be placed in the source member #IMSMOBJ in the
prefix.MICS.USER.SOURCE library after the %INCLUDE
SOURCE(#IMSMOBJ) which sets the defaults for these MACROs.

Note:  sharedprefix.MICS.SOURCE(#IMSMOBJ) contains the
"model" macro statements.  The macro statements contained in
sharedprefix.MICS.SOURCE(#IMSMOBJ) should NOT be touched;
instead, the administrator should copy this member into
prefix.MICS.USER.SOURCE after the %INCLUDE and then may
update the member contained in prefix.MICS.USER.SOURCE.  The
next section describes the member and how to modify the
options.
