Reporting with the Analyzer

The primary reporting facility in HCL Z Asset Optimizer is the Analyzer.

The Analyzer runs as a started task or batch job on the same z/OS® host as the Db2® Subsystem or SQLite database that contains the Z Asset Optimizer database(s).

The Analyzer has two modes:

Online mode: A PC Browser, for example Firefox, is used to communicate with the Analyzer for interactive queries.
Batch mode: This mode uses the Analyzer to generate the report to an output file. The Batch mode is useful when you want to automate reports or develop your own reports. Batch mode is also useful when you want to select multiple criteria, such as multiple libraries or multiple users which you cannot do online from some reports.

All Analyzer reports can be run in online and batch modes and can produce the following output formats:

HTML (htm)
Excel (Excel)
Text line (txt)
Comma Separated Value (csv)
