Report Generation Requests Using CA Easytrieve

Report generation requests are supplied to the MIMEZRPT utility program in card image format. The card images are contained in a PDS member specified on the REPORT symbolic in the MIMEZRPT JCL supplied in the CAI.CBTDJCL library. This PDS data set name is specified on the SYSIN DD in the same JCL. The SYSIN input contains the name of the report to be generated and any keywords required to run the report.

There is a limit of one report per single execution of the MIMEZRPT utility program. If you need several reports, you must execute multiple jobs or multiple job steps.

Note: For a description of how to code the control card images, see Control Card Syntax for MIMEZRPT SMF Report Generation in this chapter.

Several keywords are supplied for optional customizing of statistical reports.

The following common keywords are available for use in the SYSIN input for customizing the CF, FC, and VF SMF reports.

RECTYPE

Specifies the SMF record type. Default is 255

SHIFT

Specifies a time range for which records are to be included. Default is '00:00 24:00', which covers the entire day.

FROM

Specifies a starting timestamp, in the form 'YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM'; SMF records with timestamps earlier than this value are discarded. Default is 'ALL'.

TO

Specifies a starting timestamp, in the form 'YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM'; SMF records with timestamps after this value are discarded.

MIMNAME

Specifies the name of a CA MIM address space; only records written by the specified CA MIM are included. Default is '*', which selects data for all CA MIM tasks; data for multiple MIM tasks are separated, because the name is part of the sort specification.

SYSTEM

Specifies the name of a system; only records written by the specified system are included. Default is '*', which selects data for all systems; data for multiple systems are separated because the name is part of the sort specification

LINECOUNT

Determines the page breaks for the report by specifying how many lines are printed on each page. Specify a number from 1 to 32767.

EACH

Specifies the detail line grouping interval. The default is RECORD. The options for EACH are MINUTE, HOUR, DAY, MONTH, and RECORD.

The following unique keyword is available for use in the SYSIN input for customizing the VF SMF report.

SKIPZEROS

Controls whether paths that have had no activity should be omitted from the report. Default is 'N'
