Generating Reports

Entire Operations provides a wide range of reports to assist operations at all levels. The user can enter the reporting facility either by selecting the reporting option or by issuing the REPORT direct command. The reports cover the following:

  • Information on all jobs, selectable according to terminated jobs, abended jobs and jobs which have not been started. Date ranges and network names can be specified to further narrow selection down. Reports on all jobs include all events, activation time, messages, termination status etc. All job reports are sorted according to log time.

  • Network information, selectable according to whether a short overview is required or a longer report that includes detailed information on network components. In all network reports, information is provided on network and job definition, all input conditions and resources, as well as end-of-job handling, including output conditions. The more detailed reporting option additionally displays all text descriptions available on the network, job and event level.

  • Schedule overview of selected or all networks, consisting of a list of jobs to be scheduled within a specified range of dates. This can either be done for time ranges belonging to the past to get a list of all unsatisfied network activations or you can request the Network schedule overview for future production periods in order to get information for forecasting and planning purposes.

All reports are available online, their data can be printed as well. This provides an easy form of long-term documentation.

Using the Entire Operations Import/Export Utility, the contents of the master database can be unloaded to a sequential file, too. This feature is intended for migration and transport purposes, but you can also use it to build up your own reporting system.
