I am trying to find out if anyone has some Mainframe Dash Board Reports, that they send to Management. I am looking for some good examples of what is being presented on a Monthly Basis.

I know how to use the SMF records, and the SAS software. Instead of re-inventing the wheel for reports, I am looking for some good examples.

Also if anyone has also produced these types of work using SQL, I would also be interested in this information.

We as a staff are being asked how to produce information about why we are needed on a daily basis, or why so many staff members are needed in the Information Technology group.

Please no sarcastic remarks. Please keep this professional.

Once We used a web dashboard using MVSDS interface similar to the one described here share.confex.com/share/121/webprogram/Session14293.html
We put all our html, Javascript and CSS in PDS members and MVSDS interprets the PDS/PS as a web link. Then have the web page display Google Charts/ Easy Charts/ R graph developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery

The SAS job on Mainframe updates the parms for the charts and the graphical package (Google Charts) uses the parms present in the PDS and renders a pretty graph/chart over a web browser.

Also as a proof of concept project we developed a dashboard to display retail store sales over Google earth, all driven from Mainframe SAS.

The dashboard displays sales figures for individual stores overlayed on Google earth/maps using KML.

We got to generate the KML and store it in a PDS, then have MVSDS point to the dataset.

Thirdly there is always inline HTML email which suits for one or two graphs/tables
