Management Objective Report Options
The following options are provided for defining the IMS Management Objective Reports. The names of the SAS MACROs used for option definition are also given.

- Hourly Selection Range for Daily Reports
- The start and end hours of the day that are to be included in the Daily IMS Reports. It is suggested that the hours be set to include the entire day (00 23).
- _IMSDLHR and _IMSDHHR define the low and high hours of the day, respectively, for selection of the IMS activity to be reported in the daily reports.
- Hourly Selection Range for Weekly Reports
- The start and end hours of the day that are to be included in the Weekly IMS Reports. It is suggested that the hours be set to only include the prime-time hours (e.g., 08 16).
- _IMSWLHR and _IMSWHHR define the low and high hours of the days, respectively, for selection of the IMS activity to be reported in the weekly reports.
- Total Response Objective
- The percentage of all IMS responses that were satisfied within a specified number of seconds to reflect the installation's response objective for total IMS activity (e.g., 90% within 15 seconds).
- _IMSPTR and _IMSSTR define the percentage target and second threshold, respectively, (e.g., 90% within 4 seconds), for total IMS response time, used in daily, weekly, and monthly reports.
- Short Response Objective
- The percentage of short IMS responses that were satisfied within a specified number of seconds to reflect the installation's response objective for short IMS activity (e.g., 96% within 4 seconds).
- _IMSPSR and _IMSSSR define the percentage target and second threshold, respectively, (e.g., 90% within 4 seconds), for short IMS response time, used in daily, weekly, and monthly reports.
- Medium Response Objective
- The percentage of medium IMS responses that were satisfied within a specified number of seconds to reflect the installation's response objective for medium IMS activity (e.g., 94% within 6 seconds).
- _IMSPMR and _IMSSMR define the percentage target, and second threshold, respectively, (e.g., 90% within 4 seconds), for medium IMS response time, used in daily, weekly, and monthly reports.
- Daily IMS Message Rate
- The target and maximum number of messages processed per hour by IMS. The target amount is used for a reference line on the graph and the maximum is used to set the maximum value on the graph's vertical axis.
- _IMSCAX and _IMSCREF define the vertical axis maximum scaling and reference line, respectively, for hourly message rate execution in the daily and weekly reports.
- Hourly IMS Outage Limits
- The target number of uptime minutes per hour, generally set to 60, and the downtime objective per hour, which is generally set to 0 minutes.
- _IMSUT and _IMSDT define the hourly uptime target and hourly downtime reference line, respectively, for daily and weekly reporting.
- Zone Selection for Monthly Reporting
- The zone or range of zones that are to be included in the Monthly IMS Reports. Normally all zones should be reported and therefore the range should be 1 to 9. The IMS Reports could be limited to only the range of zones required.
- _IMSLOZN and _IMSHIZN define the low and high zones, respectively, in the months input for selection of the IMS activity to be reported in the monthly reports.
- Monthly Availability Hours
- The number of hours that IMS is targeted to be available in any given month for the specified zones.
- _IMSMUPH and _IMSRUPH define the vertical axis maximum scaling and reference line, respectively, for the number of hours IMS was available by zone in the monthly reports.
- Monthly IMS Message Rate
- The target and maximum number of messages processed per zone within month by IMS. The target amount is used for a reference line on the graph and the maximum is used to set the maximum value on the graph's vertical axis.
- _IMSMCAX and _IMSMCRF define the vertical axis maximum scaling and reference line, respectively, for transactions executed by zone in the monthly reports.
The IMS report options, which are defined as SAS MACROs, should be placed in the source member #IMSMOBJ in the prefix.MICS.USER.SOURCE library after the %INCLUDE SOURCE(#IMSMOBJ) which sets the defaults for these MACROs.
Note:
sharedprefix.MICS.SOURCE(#IMSMOBJ) contains the "model" macro statements. The macro statements contained in sharedprefix.MICS.SOURCE(#IMSMOBJ) should NOT be touched; instead, the administrator should copy this member into prefix.MICS.USER.SOURCE after the %INCLUDE and then may update the member contained in prefix.MICS.USER.SOURCE. The next section describes the member and how to modify the options.
