Creating SMS online reports

With NaviQuest you can create a report of the contents of an SMS configuration, or the planned changes to a configuration, in the form of a sequential data set. The report can be printed using your choice of tool or utility.

The following reports can be generated:

Customized data set reports from ISMF saved data set list
Customized volume reports from ISMF saved DASD volume list
Customized volume reports from ISMF saved tape volume list
Customized data set reports from DCOLLECT data
Customized volume reports from DCOLLECT data
SMS configuration reports from DCOLLECT data

Note: These reports can also be generated in batch. Performing storage administration tasks in batch, provides the CLISTs or EXECs required to run these reports in batch.

Before you can generate any of these reports, you must already have created either DCOLLECT data or an ISMF table. After creating your base data, you can select the fields that you want included in the report and the order you want them presented.

For example, if you want the data set, percentage used, and expired date fields printed in that particular order, you would enter a value of 1 in the data set field, a value of 2 in the percentage used field, and a value of 3 in the expired date field. You may number as many or as few fields as you need. To generate SMS reports, choose option 5 from the NaviQuest Primary Option Menu.

For more information on generating saved lists from ISMF tables, refer to z/OS DFSMS Using the Interactive Storage Management Facility.
