The CTDREPUS utility provides customers with information about Control-D report usage. This information can help find those Control-D reports, which are no longer required by customers, but which continue to be automatically decollated, backed up, or migrated, utilizing expensive resources.
The utility prints the results of the analysis in a usage output report. Using the report, the customer can decide to discontinue decollating, archiving, or migrating reports. Similarly, by deleting obsolete reports from the repository and discontinuing job runs that produce these reports, the customer can reduce unnecessary expenses.
The utility scans the User Report List files and analyzes the report usage parameters (last update date, view, print, and restore indicators) for each report entry. For purposes of this analysis, all Control-D report entries created by the same decollation mission and having the same report name, job name, category, and user attributes are considered as being the same Control-D report. The entries of the same Control-D report can be created periodically (daily, weekly, or monthly). As long as the end user views or prints a report or restores it from the History or Migrated User file, the report is considered in use.
The utility can either analyze all Control-D report entries from all Control-D User files (Active, Migrated, and History files) or report entries selected according to specified selection criterion. The selection criterion and other parameters for the utility are specified in the SYSIN DD input stream and described in the Table 230.
The usage output report is printed to the file referred by the DAREPORT DD statement. Each record of the output report contains usage information about one Control-D report. The format of the usage output report is described CTDREPUS Output.
