CA View provides many facilities for storage, access, and retention of reports based on initialization parameters, option parameter specifications, or program parameter specifications. These parameters provide you with the ability to customize the product to your environment.
Customization of certain parameters, however, can require an intimate knowledge of the reports that are retained and accessed in the CA View database. Because this knowledge might not be known or might vary based on user activity, methods for measuring the use of CA View are needed.
The Metrics option provides measurement information. Because this metric data is generated for unique activity to report data, it also provides audit trail information, related accounting information, and useful statistics.
The metric data is recorded as System Management Facility (SMF) records. These records provide a detailed account of the following activities:
You can generate an optional data set from the Metrics report program that contains the SMF records used to produce the reports. These records can then be used with a report writer allowing you to generate customized reports based on Metrics according to your needs.
