3.1 MICF Inquiries for the CA MICS Web Analyzer


The table below lists the MICF inquiries distributed with the
CA MICS Web Analyzer.  The remainder of this chapter follows
this category listing.  Each section contains a brief
description of the inquiry and the panels used to generate
it.

The CA MICS Web Analyzer reports are initially delivered with
defaults.  These defaults will change based on the settings
of the last execution of the query.  For example, WEBCSA is
delivered with a hard-coded default value of DAYS for the
timespan.  If the user changes the timespan so that WEBCSA
will run at the WEEKS timespan, then the next execution of
WEBCSA will default to the WEEKS timespan.

The CA MICS Web Analyzer's graphic reports can be produced in
color or non-color modes.  The line graphics are illustrated
in this guide.  Data used in the graphic analysis queries can
also generate CSV (Comma Separated Value) files for
subsequent use in the CA MICS Q&R WorkStation product.

Graphs and reports can be produced at multiple summarization
levels.  Dates and titles will be adjusted appropriately
based on the timespan and summarization level chosen for the
execution.  After data has been collected for a time period,
this summarization capability can be used to "drill down" to
a specific time frame.  For example, you may wish to analyze
trends at a weekly level for the last 6 weeks as a starting
point.  If last week's data showed erratic behavior at this
level you may drill down to the days level, days by hour
and/or detail levels, to pinpoint potential causes of the
behavior.
