Specifying Report Set contents

The Report Set Edit panel is displayed when, from the Report Sets panel, you do either of the following:
Alternatively, you can enter line action V to display the Report Set View panel. Viewing a Report Set works in every way like Edit except there is no exclusive hold on the data and changes cannot be saved. However you can use SAVEAS.

The Report Set panel describes the Report Set and lists all the reports and extracts that can be requested.

The Report Set description can be modified. Specify up to 32 characters of text to describe the purpose of the Report Set. The description is shown on the Report Sets panel to help you distinguish between the Report Sets displayed. It also appears as a comment in the JCL. The description is initially set to CICS PA Report Set.

The reports and extracts are grouped to indicate the type of output (report, graph report, or extract) and the type of SMF data they process, either CMF data (performance, exception, transaction resource, or statistics class data), subsystem data (DB2®, WebSphere® MQ, OMEGAMON®), or MVS™ system data (System Logger). Also listed are three specifications which apply globally to all reports and extracts in the Report Set:
Note: You can override some of the global options by specifying them for individual reports or extracts. System Selection (System, Image, Group) and Selection Criteria are primary examples of this feature. Report-level specifications take precedence.

The reports, extracts, and global selection criteria can be activated (Active=Yes) or deactivated (Active=No). They are automatically activated when created, and can be explicitly deactivated or activated at any time. The global options are automatically activated if at least one report or extract is active, but they cannot be explicitly activated or deactivated.

Each Report Category can be activated or deactivated. Only active reports in active report categories are included in the Report Set at submit time. A Report Set can be submitted for processing if there is at least one active report in an active report category.

However, there is a convenient exception. You can use the RUN line action to temporarily override the active status of a report or report category.

Primary Commands: The following primary commands are available:
SAVE
This command is only available from Edit mode and saves any changes you have made. To save any changes made in View mode, use SAVEAS.

Also available from File in the action bar.

SAVEAS rsetname|datasetname(rsetname)
This command is available from both Edit and View mode to save the contents of this Report Set under another name, either in the current data set (assumed if no data set name is provided) or in another data set (if the name of a valid PDS is provided). If you then Cancel from this panel, the contents of the current Report Set remain unchanged.

Also available from File in the action bar

RUN
Run the Report Set. Only active reports and extracts within active categories are selected. The Run Report Set panel is displayed for you to enter required run-time options before submission. See Running Report Sets for more information. Alternative RUN commands are:
SUB
After your run-time options are validated, JCL is submitted directly for batch processing.
JCL
After your run-time options are validated, JCL is presented in an Edit session. You can alter the JCL before submission or save it in your JCL library.

Also available from File in the action bar.

CONFIRM ON|OFF
CONFIRM ON (or CONFIRM) instructs CICS PA to prompt for confirmation when you request to Cancel from the Report Set panel when there have been updates.

With CONFIRM OFF, Cancel requests are actioned immediately, discarding any changes.

This command changes the setting only for the current Edit/View session. On exit, it reverts to the value set by Cancel Confirmation in CICS PA Settings

Also available from Confirm in the action bar.

Note: The SAVE and SAVEAS commands are only available on the Report Set panel, being at the top of the panel hierarchy. Changes made on the associated panels (global options, selection criteria, reports, extracts) are only saved when the Report Set is saved.
