2.8.3.1 Common Report Elements

This section describes the elements common to most of the
sysplex analysis reports.  Elements that are unique to a
specific report are documented with that report.

TITLE ELEMENTS

Each report has up to five lines of title information that
give the name of the report, the installation name, the run
date, the date(s) being reported, and usually some sort of
identification of the Coupling Facility or Member being
reported on.  The following elements may appear in the
standard title area of each report:

Installation  The installation name as defined by the CA MICS
Name:         NAME  parameter within the SITE member that was
              created at CA MICS installation time.  This
              value is centered in the first line of the
              report.  For more information about this item,
              consult your CA MICS System Administrator.

SYSTEM:       The CA MICS logical SYSID being reported.

XCF SYSTEM:   The system name as specified by the SYSNAME
              parameter in the SYS1.PARMLIB member IEASYSxx.

XCF MEMBER:   A specific function, or instance, of a
              multisystem application.  An XCF Member
              resides on one system and can communicate with
              other members of the same XCF group across the
              sysplex.

XCF GROUP:    A unique name for a set of related XCF Members
              that a multisystem application defines to XCF.

XCF MEMBER    The name of of XCF system on which a specific
RES:          XCF member resides.

CF SYSTEM:    The system name as specified by the SYSNAME
              parameter in the SYS1.PARMLIB member IEASYSxx.

COUPLING      The name of the coupling facility being
FACILITY      reported.
NAME:

CF            The name of the structure allocated in this
STRUCTURE:    coupling facility.  Structures are used to
              implement high-speed serialization and data
              sharing.

ZONE:         If data is being reported by zone, the zone
              number is shown.

Run Date:     The report execution date in SAS WORDDATE
              format.

Report Date:  The date or date range of the data displayed on
              this page of the report.


ADDITIONAL ELEMENTS

Reporting     The first row of some reports shows the date
Interval:     or date/time combination of the period being
              reported.  If the data being reported on is
              from the WEEKS timespan, the date reflects the
              starting date of the week, as derived from the
              variable STARTTS.  In all other cases, the
              date reflects the ending date, derived from the
              variable ENDTS.  In monthly reports, only
              the year and month portions of the date are
              displayed.

% CHANGE:     The last column on some reports, this field is
              the percent change for each report item (row)
              between the base period (first data column) and
              the last period (last data column).  If data
              for only one period is reported, then dashes
              (---) are displayed.  If the base period is
              zero, then N/A is printed to indicate that a
              percent change could not be calculated.
