Reviewing and Reporting on Data

After data has been filtered and recorded in the NEWS database, you can review it by using the NEWS menus and full-screen panels, or have it exported to a data set for analysis by external applications.

If you want to analyze or report on NEWS data using an external application, do one of the following:

• Use the supplied user exits to archive all required records to a sequential data set.
• Generate SMF records by activating SMF recording.

If required, you can enable the generation of type 37 SMF records for all event, attention, and statistics records that pass NEWS filtering.

NEWS also provides predefined reports. For more information about these reports, see the User Guide.
