This section will illustrate the procedure used to select and execute one of the MICF standard analysis inquiries supplied with the CA MICS Space Analyzer product. In this example, the user wishes to execute the Volume Summary Report to list volumes that may have potential space problems due to volume fragmentation. The user first establishes a TSO session, invokes ISPF, and selects the CA MICS Workstation Facility (MWF) option. The exact procedure for doing this will vary for each site, so contact your CA MICS Administrator if you are unsure of this procedure. From the MWF primary menu, select the MICF option. From the primary MICF menu, select the Database Inquiries option. At this point, you should see a screen similar to that shown in Figure 3-9.

Figure 3-9. MICF Inquiry Selection Screen If the screen you see is not similar to the sample above, make sure the Catalog, Catalog Group, and Select Mode are identical to that shown. Note also that other CA MICS storage products may have added inquiries to the STORAGE Catalog Group, so you may see inquiries other than those shown in Figure 3-9. If this occurs, use the ISPF scroll keys to locate the inquiries prefixed with VCA. In the example above, a line command of 'S' (Select), has been placed to the left of the report that is being selected for execution. When the Volume Summary Report is selected for execution, you may be shown an additional screen that allows you to override execution options, such as whether you desire batch or interactive execution, and the format of the Job card(s) for batch submission. This screen is not shown in this example. If it appears, simply follow the instructions on the screen and complete the options. After the Volume Summary Report has been selected for execution, the Execution-Time Parameters screen will appear. An example of this screen is shown in Figure 3-10.

Figure 3-10. Sample Execution Parameter Screen
The Execution-Time Parameters screen is then used to enter
the parameters that will control the execution of the inquiry
and the resulting output that will be produced. The ISPF
scroll keys can be used to scroll up and down through the
various options.
Based on the example shown in Figure 3-10, the following
parameters have been entered by this user:
- Input data should be obtained from Cycle 01 of Data
Base Unit P.
- The default title was changed to VOLUME FRAGMENTATION
STUDY.
- The default report Date/Time range was not changed.
- Data will only be selected if its System Identifier
(SYSID) is SYSA, or has a prefix of IMS.
- Only those volumes will be accepted that have a volume
serial number with the prefix TSO.
- Volumes will be excluded if they are in DFSMS Initial
status (in the process of being converted to DFSMS
management).
- Only volumes with a fragmentation index greater than
.500 will be accepted for reporting. This will only
select volumes that are starting to have space
fragmentation problems.
Once the specified parameters are acceptable, the user should
use the ISPF END key to continue report execution. This
should generate a report meeting the specifications requested
by the user.
