3.8.5 MICF Production Reporting Support

The standard analysis reports supplied with the CA MICS Space
Analyzer are fully supported by the MICF Production Reporting
facility.  The inquiries may be scheduled to execute
automatically as part of normal CA MICS processing.

This facility makes it easy to schedule the regular
production of reports that can be used to monitor your
storage resources.  Anomalies detected in these regular
reports can then be further investigated using other standard
analysis reports run under MICF.

The Volume Track Map Report may have to be modified when used
with the MICF Production Reporting facility.  This is
because, by default, the report will only select volumes with
a serial number prefix of "TSO" for reporting.  In most cases
this is not a problem, as this report is normally used for
specific problem research and not as part of regular
production reporting.  If you desire to use this report in a
production reporting environment, you may have to copy the
inquiry, edit the default value to meet your standards, and
then specify the modified inquiry as input to the MICF
Production Reporting facility.
