VM Interface Components

The VM Interface has three main components:

The VM Interface's translate component executes from the CAI common load library, CAJRLOAD, as a z/OS batch job. It reads the input accounting data from an unblocked sequential file of VM account records. The output is a file in summary file format for later input to the CA JARS z/OS Report Writer, and to an EXTDATA file for input to CA Chargeback, and for on-demand reporting.

By creating a User Accounting Table you can select or reject data for specific users, and place standard accounting information into the output records. You can also submit a CRITERIA control statement to select or reject data for specific dates.

Selected records are then reformatted to tape or disk for later input to the Report Writer.
