Requesting reports and extracts
In a Report Set, you can request any number of reports and extracts, and any number of instances of them with different reporting options specified. For example, you might request three variations of the Performance List report, one Performance Summary report, and two different Cross-System Work extracts.
When you select a report or extract from the Report Set panel:
- If there is at least one of this type already defined, a list is displayed. You can then select (edit), delete, or include/exclude any in the list, define new ones, or rearrange them (move/copy).
- The list is bypassed if none of this type of report or extract is defined yet, and the Report or Extract definition panel is displayed directly.
Thus the panel flow is:
- List of Report Sets
- Edit/View Report Set
- List of Reports/Extracts
- Define Report/Extract
For Report Set JCL generation, you must specify the systems that you want to analyze. The systems and files must be defined in System Definitions. You can link directly there by selecting Systems in the action bar.
It is recommended that you specify your System Selection at run time, not within the Report Set. This will allow you to run your Report Sets against any of your defined systems.
