3.1.3.2 Initiator Busy Report

The Initiator Busy Report, illustrated in Figure 3-1, shows
the number of jobs for each class that executed using each
initiator during the report period.  In addition, for each
job class, the report shows the percentage of the simulation
period the initiator devoted to that class.

NOTE:  This report presents data produced by the simulation.
The figures shown are the output of the simulation software,
not actual numbers of real jobs and percent busy times.

REPORT OPTIONS

The fields available on the Batch Initiator Simulation
Inquiry panel, which is shown in Figure 3-11, determine the
content of the information in the report.  The panel and
field descriptions is documented in Section 3.1.6.

DATA ELEMENTS

The elements that create the report heading are documented in
Section 3.1.3.1, Common Report Elements.  Other report data
elements in the Initiator Busy Report are:

Priority     The PRILOW, PRIHIGH, and PRIRATE elements
Aging:       correspond to the Aging (low/high/rate) field on
             the Batch Initiator Simulation inquiry panel.

Class:       Corresponds to the Report class field on the
             Batch Initiator Simulation inquiry panel.

Jobs         The number of jobs of the listed class that
Started:     the simulation started on the initiator during
             the reporting period.

% Busy:      The percentage of the reporting period during
             which this initiator was occupied by a job of
             this class.

NOTE:  The count of jobs is made when the job is started; the
percent busy count is accumulated while the job occupies the
initiator.  Therefore, it is possible to have a report entry
showing zero jobs but a non-zero percent busy.  This
situation is likely to occur if the report covers a subset of
the time being simulated.
