The Report Set Edit panel is displayed when, from the Report Sets
panel, you do either of the following:
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:
- Global Options apply to all reports and extracts. They
specify the global system selection (CICS® System, DB2 Subsystem, MVS System Logger, WebSphere MQ ID) and report formatting
options (lines per page, time zone, date/time delimiters).
- Performance Selection Criteria apply to all performance
reports and extracts. They provide filtering of CMF performance records
based on field values.
- Exception Selection Criteria apply to all exception reports.
They provide filtering of CMF exception records based on field values.
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.
