Generating and managing batch reports

MainView for z/OS can obtain historical performance reports through the submission of batch jobs. An ISPF dialog panel will assist you in generating the JCL to produce MainView batch reports of your historical data.

You might want to submit a job each day to report on some of the key elements of performance for the previous day. The TIME command has several parameters that enable you to specify time frames relative to today. Using this command, you can submit the same job on a periodic basis without having to change the JCL (that is, TIME yday 15:00 4h produces a report for every four hours, starting at 3 P.M. yesterday).

Using this feature, you can enter the command in an ISPF dialog panel much as you would if you were in an online session. The tabular or detail report is directed to a data set or SYSOUT. The report output is nearly the same format as the online tabular and detailed displays; however, it will display all rows from the query and show as many columns as your data set allows.
