3.2.1.1.2 IBM VTS Report Headers

The report headings for all IBM VTS reports are similar and
consist of general information plus customized information,
based on the VTS type reported on.  The headings and content
are as follows:

o General VTS and report information

  All IBM VTS report headings include the following
  general information:

  Report Label         Example
  ------------------   -----------------------------------
  report title         CA MICS IBM VTS DASD Cache Analysis
  report granularity   Data Presented by Hour within DAY
  Inquiry              TAPLVB
  Run Date             10SEPyy
  VTS Library ID       VTS001
  Library Type         STANDALONE
  Report Start         08SEPyyyy
  Report End           10SEPyyyy
  Timespan             DAYS
  F/C 4001 Status      Enabled

  Note:  The IBM function code F/C 4001 Status (Enabled or
  Disabled) changes the measurements available in the raw
  data used to build the CA MICS IVT information area files.
  The F/C 4001 status determines whether or not some metrics
  are available for reporting.

  The data elements used to populate the heading data are:

  Report title         MICF generated
  Report granularity   MICF generated
  Inquiry              MICF generated
  Run Date             MICF generated
  VTS Library ID       IVTVLS - VTS Library Sequence Number
  Library Type         IVTTYPE - VTS Type
  Report Start         MICF generated
  Report End           MICF generated
  Timespan             MICF generated
  F/C 4001 Status      IVT4001 - F/C 4001 Indicator

o Customized information based on VTS type

  The VTS types fall into two categories:  composite and
  distributed.  The VTS types that fall into each of these
  categories are as follows:

  Composite category   - COMPOSITE
  Distributed category - STANDALONE, UI, and SECONDARY

  In the general heading information presented above, one of
  the values is Library Type.  The rest of the header
  information is customized for that type.

  - For the distributed category (VTS types STANDALONE, UI,
    and SECONDARY) the additional heading information
    includes:

    Report Label            Example
    ------------------      --------
    Composite ID            VTCC01
    Library Make-Model      3584-L22
    Lib Maint Level         534.33
    VTS Cache Size          1728 GB
    VTS Maint Level         7414.00

    The data elements used to populate the distributed VTS
    category heading data are:

    Composite ID          IVTCMPID - Composite Library
                                     Association
    Library Make-Model:   IVTLTYPE - System-Managed Tape
                                     Library Type
                          IVTLMODL - System-Managed Tape
                                     Library Model
    Lib Maint Level:      VDLLVLM  - Library Manager Version
                                     and Release
    VTS Cache Size:       VDLAVCSZ - Avg VTC Cache Size (GB)
    VTS Maint Level:      VDLLVVTS - VTS Code Modification
                                     and Fix Level

  - For the composite category (VTS type COMPOSITE) the
    additional heading information includes:

    Report Label            Example
    ---------------------   -------------
    UI/SEC IDs              VTS001/VTS001
    VTC Preferred I/O       NONE
    VTC Preferred Mast      VTS0
    VTC Maintenance Level   7414.00
    Copy Mode Setting       Immediate

    The data elements used to populate the composite VTS
    category heading data are:

    UI/SEC IDs:             VCLUIID  - UI IVTVLS ID
                            VCLSECID - SECONDARY IVTVLS ID
    VTC Preferred I/O:      VCLPIO   - Composite VTC
                                       Preferred I/O VTS
    VTC Preferred Mast:     VCLPMST  - Composite VTC
                                       Preferred Master VTS
    VTC Maintenance Level:  VCLLVVTC - VTC Code Modification
                                       and Fix Level
    Copy Mode Setting:      VCLOPCPY - Operation Copy Mode

The first column of each report indicates the time period
represented by each line of the report and is dynamically
changed based on the report granularity.  For example, if the
report is by-hour-within-day, the first column heading will
be HOUR, and each line of the report will list the hour value
reported (for example, 0, 1, 2, and so on). If the report is
by-day-within-month, however, the first column heading will
be DAY, and each line of the report will list the day value
reported (for example, 01-Mo, 02-Tu, 03-We, and so on).
