3.1.3.4 Job Input Queue Time Report

The Job Input Queue Time Report, shown in Figure 3-3, is a
set of plots, one for each class, showing both the actual and
simulated queue times.  The queue times are shown as
cumulative distributions; the data points for the actual and
simulated data are overlaid on the same plot.

 Figure 3-3. Sample Job Input Queue Time Report

REPORT OPTIONS

The fields available on the Batch Initiator Simulation
inquiry panel, which is shown Figure 3-11, determine the
content of the information in the report.  The Inquiry 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.

The report plots the range of input queue times for the class
against the percentage of jobs that arrived for that class.
This means that a point on the plot maps a given input queue
time value to the percent of jobs that had an input queue
time of that value or less.  For example, in the report shown
in Figure 3-3, 100 percent of the simulated queue times were
2:05:00 or less.
