What Is History Reporting

The CA SYSVIEW history reporting subsystem, CA EXPLORE Report Writer, lets you produce z/OS, CICS, AUDIT, IMS, and WebSphere MQ graphic and tabular reports. The reports are produced from the performance data collected by CA SYSVIEW data collectors. With these reports, you can study long-term resource usage or detect and analyze unusual events.

The Report Writer reports on many CICS activities, such as transaction use, maximum terminal response time through the CA SYSVIEW Option for CICS. You control the time that each detail line in a report represents and the time frame that a report covers.

The Report Writer lets you access the information you want, at the level of detail you indicate. With one pass through the historical data, you can create up to 50 reports, each covering a different time period.
