SMF Daily Batch Job Initiation Report
The Daily Batch Job Initiation Report quantifies the total batch activity on an hourly basis for the identified day and computing system.
micsrm140
The Daily Batch Job Initiation Report chart is unusual in that it depicts more than one measure of performance: initiations by hour and turnaround objective achievement. Use the report for evaluating the throughput and turnaround service for all batch activity.
The following user option applies to this report:
Daily Jobs Initiated
Indicates the target and maximum number of jobs submitted per hour. 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.
The SAS MACROs _SMFJSAX and _SMFPTR define the vertical axis maximum scaling and reference line for the number of jobs initiated by hour in the daily and weekly reports.
MACRO _SMFJSAX 240 % MACRO _SMFPTR 100 %
A full description of the user options is provided in SMF Running the Management Objective Reports.

The horizontal axis represents the hour of the day. The vertical axis charts the number of batch jobs initiated that received the service indicated -- E for exceeded, H for hit, and M for missed. The management objective is shown by the dashed horizontal reference line printed across the chart.
To understand the use of the E, H, or M service-received symbols, examine hour 4 in Figure 3-16. Each unit on the vertical axis equals 7.5 jobs processed. Hour 4 shows that a total of 52.5 jobs were processed that hour, out of which 15 missed their turnaround objective (M), 15 received their requested turnaround (H), and 22.5 jobs received service that exceeded what was requested (E).
In the sample report, the reference line is shown at the 100 job level of the vertical axis. Therefore, any hour for which the charted bar falls below this reference line signals that the total batch job initiation objective was missed for that hour.
