Issue/Introduction

Please explain the process that SAR goes thru to handle reports.

Environment

Release : 14.0

Component : CA View

Resolution

The View Sysout Selection List Origin field shows the following:

 . SAR - The syosut came to View via the SARSTC task or from a SARFSS task (AFP or PDF)
 . EXP - The sysout came to View via CA Deliver
 . XTD - The sysout came to View via the View SARXTD task, whose pre-spool processing is the same as Deliver

View banners come from the View ...CVDEDATA library (via a SARDBASE BLOAD) and can be displayed by using command "disp b" from the View Primary panel. 

To determine the number of View database extents (index and data) and their individual and combined usages, please run the following View SARDBASE STATUS FULL job:

//XXXXXXXX JOB ...                                                
//SARDBASE EXEC PGM=SARDBASE,PARM='VIEW_HLQ'  <=== MODIFY DB NAME 
//STEPLIB  DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=VIEW.CVDELOAD     <=== MODIFY, IF USED
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*                                           
//SYSIN    DD *                                                   
STATUS FULL                                                       
/*                                                                
//                                                                

To determine the number of (primary) tapes that View is currently using, you can run the following SARPAC job:

//XXXXXXXX JOB ...                                                   
//SARPAC   EXEC PGM=SARPAC,PARM='VIEW_HLQ,REPORT' <=== MODIFY DB NAME
//STEPLIB  DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=VIEW.CVDELOAD     <=== MODIFY, IF USED   
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*                                              
//SYSUDUMP DD  SYSOUT=*                                              
//SYSIN    DD  DUMMY                                                 
//                                                                   

   Note: For the total number of tapes used (primary and duplex), you would double the number of tapes shown in the report. 

For examples of the SARGRW (report writer) utility, please see the View ...CVDEJCL library, members SARGRW01 through SARGRW09. 

At the View Primary panel, if you use the command "status", you will see Total Sysouts (on tape and disk), and you will see the number of sysouts that are on disk, including their line count. 

There, like with the SARDBASE STATUS FULL, you will see the percentage usages of the database data and index extents.
