3.8.1 Executing the MICF Standard Analysis Inquiries

The MICF Standard Analysis Reports are accessed through the
Database Inquiries option of MICF, which is part of the
CA MICS Workstation Facility (MWF).  Contact your CA MICS
Administrator if you are unsure how to access MWF through
your ISPF system.

If you have not used MICF before, you should select the MICF
Options feature of MICF.  This allows you to set options that
affect the execution and presentation of your inquiries.
This allows you to set environmental options, such as whether
reports should be run in background or interactive mode.

The report inquiries are stored in your Shared MICF catalog
in a Catalog Group named STORAGE.  The names of the
inquiries, the reports they produce, and the files and
timespans used by each inquiry are shown in Figure 3-7 below:
