CA Earl and CA Easytrieve Reporting › Report Selection

Report Selection

CA Earl and CA Easytrieve definitions of these reports are provided with CA WA CA 7 Edition. Sample JCL is also provided later in this section. Producing a report requires running a batch job using the appropriate JCL, data file, and request ID.

Reports being produced from log history data also require that you provide the following:

• The log record type
• The date and time range desired (the ENDDAY initialization file option for APA reporting has no effect on these reports)

  And for certain reports

• The reporting time increment

The request ID is provided as an EARLLIB member name in the CA Earl and CA Easytrieve SYSIN DD statement in the JCL. The other values are provided as either PARM keywords or through the SYSIN data set. Request IDs are provided on the list of available reports.

LOGSTATS DD is used to produce the CA WA CA 7 Edition Log Record Profile report on log records found within the specified date/time range during the PULL step.

Note: The installation SORT is used for sorting data in both the CA EARL and CA Easytrieve reports. SORTWKnn statements have been added to the sample JCL members. Depending on the amount of report data being requested, consider increasing the space allocation. Use the &SIZE variable to change the default of five cylinders.
