The MICF layout and rules for populating field choices are identical for most StorageTek VSM reports with the following exception: o The "Composing Inquiry" line is different for each report. It identifies the inquiry name (for example, TAPLVA), and the report title (for example, STK VSM Virtual Tape Mount Report). o Not all reporting options are available for each inquiry. A sample inquiry specification panel for inquiry TAPLSA is shown below. Explanations for field choices follow.

Database - Required. No default. Up to six database unit IDs can be specified (the IDs of the CA MICS database units from which files are read). Duplicates are not allowed. If CA MICS files exist in only one database unit, this parameter is set automatically. To display a selection list of valid database unit IDs, specify ? (question mark). Cycle(s) - Required. Defaults to 01. The cycle of the specified timespan of the CA MICS files that are used as input to the analysis. A range of cycles can be specified. The fields can contain any numeric value between 0 and 99. If a single cycle is required (such as cycle 01), it must be specified in the first entry field, and the second field must be blank. Leading zeros are not required and are inserted automatically if a single-digit number is entered (for example, 7 becomes 07). If a cycle range is specified, it can be specified in either ascending or descending order (for example, 01-05 or 05-01). Timespan - Required. Default varies by report. The timespan of the CA MICS files that are used as input to the analysis. Required input files must be available at the specified timespan. Report by hour... - Required. Defaults to Y. At the DAYS and WEEKS timespans, reports can be produced at an hourly, daily, or weekly level. If you specify Y (Yes), the data is summarized and displayed by hour, and separate reports are produced for each day or week. If you specify N (No), the data is summarized by day or week, and a single report listing all days or weeks is produced. Note that this option is only available for a subset of the StorageTek inquiries. Generate a report for each value of Zone - Required. Defaults to N. Reports for each zone can be generated when requested if you specify Y (Yes). The nature and resource requirements of processing often change from one zone to another (for example, prime shift online demands compared to production batch requirements at non-prime shift periods). Zone reporting gives you the ability to display separate reports for each observed zone. If you specify N (No), the data is summarized to the appropriate level and displayed on a single report. Note that this option is only available for a subset of the StorageTek inquiries. Generate color graphic plots - Required. Defaults to N (No). Specify Y (Yes) if you want to generate color graphics plots. SAS/GRAPH software is a prerequisite for color graphics. When set to No standard SAS plots and graphs will be produced (non-color, line formats). Note that this option is only available for a subset of the StorageTek inquiries. Date Ranges - Optional. No default. Up to two date ranges in dd mmm yy format. The first value in each date range is the starting date and the last value is the ending date. The ending date must be higher than the starting date. The date ranges should not overlap, but the higher range can be specified before the lower range. For example, a valid date range specification is specifying date range 1 as 01 JAN 09 - 31 DEC 09 and specifying date range 2 as 01 JAN 08 - 31 DEC 08. An input observation is selected if its date value is greater than or equal to the starting date and is less than or equal to the ending date of any specified date range. Hour - Optional. No default. 0 to 23. Up to three hour ranges. The first value is the starting hour and the last value is the ending hour. The ending hour must be higher than the starting hour. The hour ranges should not overlap, but the higher range can be specified before the lower range. For example, a valid hour range specification is 18 - 23 and 09 - 17. An input observation is selected if its hour value is greater than or equal to the starting hour and is less than or equal to the ending hour of any specified hour range. Zone - Optional. No default. A one-character value from 1 to 9. Up to nine zone values can be specified. An input observation is selected if its zone value is equal to any of the specified values. Sysid - Optional. No default. A one to four character value. Up to six SYSIDs can be specified. An input observation is selected if its SYSID value is equal to any of the specified values. VTSS ID (VTSSID) - Optional. Default is ALL. A one to eight character value. Specify up to 4 VTSSIDs. An input observation is selected if its VTSSID values are equal to any of the specified values.
