The function of this type 2 exit is to produce reports describing changes to be made to RATE, TSORATE, FORMRATE, and RJERATE statements in order to achieve cost recovery goals for the following: TSO, CICS, VM, and Normal/Batch Rate Billing.
For the purpose of this exit, the basic I/O rate field on the RATE and/or TSORATE statement is ignored. The I/O factor fields have been redefined to mean I/O charge per 1000 EXCPs. All other fields on the RATE statements retain their original definitions. To implement the adjusted rate values computed by this exit, it is necessary to use the optional method of calculating I/O rate as described in your User Guide.
This exit requires that an additional control statement input file, ddname SJEX201I, and a report output file, ddname SJEX201O, be added to the JCL statements; each one defining a CPU ID, a type of recovery goal, and the recovery goal amount. The output file contains a diagnostic listing of all input statistics and the rate determination reports. An overview of the processing is as follows:
Data is collected for a particular CPU-ID/Process-ID combination if it is to be used in the rate determination analysis. When all account records have been processed, the rate determination analysis reports are furnished and the work tables are released. If problems are encountered in the initialization phase, such as no recovery statements, then the data collection process is bypassed for all account records and rate determination reports will not be printed.
Note: If the rate determination exit is processed with a blank CPU-ID in the rate and recover cards, the only report which is produced is a list of the recovery control cards. A CPU-ID must be indicated to produce the rate determination analysis. For every different CPU-ID with the supplied recovery goals, there should be a corresponding appropriate RATE and/or TSORATE statement present. There must be matching FORMRATE and RJERATE statements for each combination of CPU-ID, SYSOUT CLASS, FORM-ID or CPU-ID, and RJE-LINE Name specified on recovery goals statements or no rate determination report is printed for that combination. PRIORITY control statements are ignored and no attempt is made to allow for the use of priority or job class factors.
It should also be noted that the rate determination reports are valid only for the data presented for that run. At best, this exit can only be used as a guide in determining future rate parameters by noting adjustments needed for the given data to produce given cost goals. This exit can in no way change the rate parameters used by CA JARS to compute an actual charge. As in the past, changes must be made to the RATE statements.
