3.3.2 How to Modify Standard MICF Inquiries
See the MICF Tutorial in the MICF User Guide for information
on modifying cataloged inquiries.
You may want to tailor the distributed MICF inquiries for
your installation, and particularly to change the labels of
subtitle headings for the distributed inquiries for files
with user-defined account codes in the NVS Information Area
(for example, NVSRTM and NVSNSA). The inquiries for these
files generate graphs or reports for the value of each
account code. The account codes are labeled on the graphs by
generic name (for example, SNTACT1). The inquiry SNTCDF, for
example, provides a stacked vertical bar chart of data
character traffic (by direction) for each unique value of
SNTACT1 in the NVSNSA File if your installation has assigned
a specific network component type, such as primary logical
unit (PLU), to be the value of SNTACT1. The procedure below
identifies the steps you must follow to change titles and
subtitles to reflect your installation's choice for SNTACT1.
Assuming that SNTACT1 contains PLU, this procedure shows you
how to change SNTACT1 to PLU.
1 - Determine the value assigned to SNTACT1 at your site by
referring to the NVSNSA data element list in Chapter 5.
Verify with your CA MICS System Administrator that the
value is correct.
2 - Copy the inquiry from the MICF shared catalog to your
private catalog and change the inquiry name. (See
Figure 3-36.)
3 - For this example, we have changed the inquiry's name
to SNT001. Enter the author's name. Change the title
to NetView Daily Chars/1000 by PLU by overkeying the
current title. (See Figure 3-36A.)
4 - Select Modify Mode by typing MODIFY in the Select Mode
field. Select the new inquiry by typing an S opposite
the name of the inquiry you want to modify. (See
Figure 3-36B.)
5 - Select Color Vertical Bar Chart by typing an S
opposite that field. (See Figure 3-36C.)
6 - Enter a Y in the extended options field at the bottom
of the screen. Change the report title to NetView
Daily Chars/1000 by PLU by overkeying the current
title. (See Figure 3-36D.)
7 - Enter a Y opposite the Specify Subheading Text and
Data Formats field. (See Figure 3-36E.)
8 - Type PLU in the Subheading Text field for the element
SNTACT1. (See Figure 3-36F.)
9 - Type END at the command prompt, pressing ENTER until
you return to the MICF Inquiry Step Display screen.
At the command prompt, type V and press ENTER to
validate the inquiry that you just created. (See
Figure 3-36G.) The message 'Inquiry Validated' will
appear in the upper righthand corner of the screen
(not shown).
10 - Type END at the command prompt and you will be
prompted by the Active Inquiry Save Confirmation
screen to 'Press ENTER key to save the current, active
MICF Inquiry'. Press ENTER and you will return to the
Data Base Inquiries screen. (See Figure 3-36H.)
11 - Select Execute Mode by typing EXECUTE in the Select
Mode field, then type an S opposite the inquiry that
you just created and modified to execute it. (See
Figure 3-36I.)
