The Translate Component

This section contains reference information and examples that show you how to run the Translate Component. The Translate Component transforms the Accounting Table into a CA JARS summary file.

The term CA JARS summary file should not be confused with a summary file as created by the CA JARS SORT statement. The summary file is actually a detail-level file. Consequently, the term can be misleading. It is referred to as a summary file because the output of the Translate Component summarizes CA Datacom/DB statistics into one CA JARS record. On the other hand, the CA JARS reporting component's summarization feature is a powerful and effective method of producing summary information based on user-defined summary criteria. For details, see the section on the CA JARS SORT statement in the CA JARS User Guide.

This chapter covers the following Translate Component topics:

This chapter assumes that the CA Datacom/DB System tasks for creating and activating the Accounting Table were completed as specified earlier in this chapter.
