DASD Billing and Archival Functions

If both DASD Billing and archiving functions are being used, it is probably desirable to run the billing accumulations just prior to ARCHIVING. If this is not done, the offending data sets escape their last billing.

If an abnormal termination occurs at any point during the SCAN or ACCUMULATE functions (BILLING JCL procedure), you can restart processing by simply rerunning the entire procedure. This is possible because CA Disk will not accumulate charges for a data set that has already been processed on the same day. Some data sets will be reanalyzed, but no additional charges will be accumulated for them.

If an abnormal termination occurs at any time during the extend function (EXTEND JCL procedure), you can simply rerun it. This is possible because of the restart data set associated with extend processing.
