Automation Reporter panel fields

New DSN

specify the name of the sequential data set that you have preallocated

The user-defined data set should be a fixed-block, sequential data set with a maximum record length of 580 bytes. This data set must be preallocated before the Automation Reporter can be activated.

Disp

specify the disposition of the user-defined sequential data set

Valid disposition values are:

• SHR (share): causes the Automation Reporter to overwrite existing data

• MOD (modify): causes the Automation Reporter to append data to the end of the data set from each offload cycle

  MOD is the default value.

Interval

specify the collection interval (in minutes) for the Automation Reporter to collect data

For example, if you specify 60, the Automation Reporter records the data in the subsystem for the resources and activities every 60 minutes.

Specifying any value greater than zero means that the Automation Reporter will collect data.

Valid collection intervals range from 10 minutes to 1440 minutes. The default is 10 minutes.

Off Int

specify the offload interval (in minutes) for the Automation Reporter to offload the data it has collected to the data set

For example, if you specify 120, the Automation Reporter writes the data it has collected to the sequential data set every 2 hours.

Valid offloading intervals are 60 minutes to 1440 minutes. The default is 1440 (or once a day).

Alert Queue

specify the name of an ALERT queue to which any ALERTs created by the Automation Reporter is queued

For example, if you specify ARALRT, ALERTs are queued to a queue named ARALRT.

Any valid ALERT queue name can be entered in this field (default queue name is MAIN). You do not have to enter the name of a pre-existing ALERT queue. You can enter the name of a new queue and it is created for you when the Automation Reporter is activated and ALERTs are generated.

IRHIST

specifies whether the windows mode Automation Reporter will collect interval data that allows you to perform short term and long term analysis of automation processes and performance

This parameter also enables the windows mode Automation Reporter views that show real-time data collected by interval and allows for local or SSI summarization of the automation information.

For more information about the windows mode version of the Automation Reporter, refer to the MainView AutoOPERATOR Basic Automation Guide, Volume 2.

The default is NO; valid values are YES or NO.

AR Options

specifies one or more Automation Reporter collectors that will actively collect data

Default value is ALL; valid values are ALL (all collectors will be active), ACT, ALT, AUS, CPU, EXE, EXC, EVT, HTH, RES, RST, RUL, TOM, TSL, TSP, ELU, and RLU.

Enter a question mark (?) next to this keyword to display a list of the current values.

ELU includes EXE data collection and RLU includes RUL data collection.

If you do not specify ELU, no EXE data collection is performed unless you specify the EXE value.

If you do not specify ELU, no RUL data collection is performed, unless you specify the RUL value.
