The data used to assess and charge IBM NETVIEW cost is obtained from the session monitor records written to the SMF log file as type 39 records. To record data that the session monitor collects, see the IBM NETVIEW Installation and Administration Guide.
Once the SMF type 39 records are written to the SMF log file, CA JARS can be coded to extract these records and create a new generation of the session file during a single pass of the SMF data. The session file produced by IBM NETVIEW has the same format as the file produced by CA Mazdamon Daily2 run.
The SMF type 39 log records are processed by the CA JARS NETVIEW extract program (JSZT0000). An optional feature of the report writer is activated either by coding a Y (yes) in position 41 of the OPTION statement. or by coding a Y (yes) in positions 10 and 46 of the EXTDATA statement. The exit produces one required file, ddname CAIJMSFX. This file contains the IBM NETVIEW accounting extract for subsequent processing by the Wizard Report Writer. All IBM NETVIEW accounting data elements from the SMF record are included in the extract record. Therefore, you can use it for more than just chargeback accounting.
The CAIJMSFX file has the following characteristics:
RECFM=FB LRECL=200 BLKSIZE=4000 (default)
However, the DD statement can be changed to any acceptable BLKSIZE desired.
In addition, EXTDATA records that can be processed by CA EARL and CA Easytrieve can also be generated. To do this you must include an EXTDATA card in the CA JARS control statements, and have columns 10 and 46 set to Y. This will generate NETVIEW EXTDATA records and write them to the CA JARS Accounting file (CAIJSACT).
For EXTDATA production, it is not required that the IBM NETVIEW extract option be set on the OPTION statement (column 41 set to Y).
