DOS History File Conversion Utility

The DOS History Conversion Utility program offers the following benefits:

• Provides upward compatibility for the VSE Job Accounting Report System user upgrading to a z/OS environment.
• Provides an organization having diversified processing systems such as VSE, POWER/VS, CICS/VS, RJE, or z/OS with the ability to report on total utilization at the organization level.

These benefits are accomplished by letting you maintain and report on VSE and POWER/VS historical data using CA JARS. The JSITOPS Utility Program translates detail history files (Release 4, Level 7) created as output from the VSE version of this product to detail history files in a format acceptable to CA JARS z/OS. Records with processing IDs of P (POWER/VS), D (DOS Job Accounting), C (CICS), R (RJE), and U (unit record) are converted. All other records are ignored. The translation process allows you to report on utilization and accounting data at the job and job step level.

Note: Do not attempt to produce System Use Reports with the translated data. Several data elements and record types necessary to produce meaningful System Use Reports are not available in this data.
