When you login to the Analyzer online, the Analyzer Menu window includes the following tabs:
  • The Assets tab contains reports that query high level aggregated data, such as product versions. This level of data is useful if you are reconciling product licenses.

  • The Discovery tab contains reports that query low-level discovery data, such as product releases, libraries, and modules. This level of data is useful if you support z/OS® systems.

From any of the tabs, when you click the link to a report, the next window opens that contains parameter selection lists based on the data in your database. Select items in the parameter lists to construct a query. Hold down the Ctrl or Shift key to select multiple items from a list. When you have selected all required parameters, click Submit to run the query.

At the end of every report, the report name and parameters are shown in the same syntax that you can copy and paste into the HSISANLB batch job SYSIN DD deck to run the report in batch mode.

When you construct a query, if you choose the option Output format and select Browser as the output format, the report includes hyperlinks that you can use to drill down for more information.
