Defining CMFMON batch report JCL
You can select one or more CMFMON reports to be generated and sent to a data set by running a batch job. Control statements are used to specify the reports that you want to produce.
Keywords on control statements allow you to:
- filter the data
- sort the data by a particular column in ascending or descending order
- create a title for the report
- customize the order in which the columns appear
- specify the report mode (TOTAL or DELTA)
In addition, the GLOBAL control statement is used to specify characteristics common to all CMFMON batch reports that are produced with a set of control statements. This statement can be used to request data from remote systems, control the interval of real-time reports, and add a common heading to all reports. For information about using control statement keywords, see Keywords for report control statements.
Batch reports are generated when the JCL is submitted. A sample set of JCL for running your batch job is located in hilevel.UBBSAMP member CMFJMONB, and is shown in Sample JCL member (CMFJMONB). You may need to modify this JCL depending on which type of data you want to use for your reports. The three types of data (historical, XDS data buffer, and real-time) are explained in Input-data-for-CMFMON-batch-reports
JCL statements point to the type 79 input records for reports, and direct diagnostic and error messages, should your job encounter problems.
