2.3.1 Activating Accounting for Unit-Level Data Sources
Before following the checklists in this section, you must do
the following:
o Define a CA MICS database complex and generate at least one
database unit by following the checklists in Chapter 3 of
the PIOM.
o Complete the checklist in Section 2.2 of this guide.
Use this checklist when CA MICS Accounting and Chargeback
Option is:
o Installed in a unit and you want to start charging for a CA
MICS Analyzer or a field-developed application (FDA). You
cannot activate accounting for a CA MICS Analyzer or an FDA
unless both CA MICS Accounting and Chargeback Option and
the CA MICS Analyzer or FDA are installed in the unit.
o Installed in an external file unit and you want to start
charging for an external file at the unit level.
You can only activate accounting for CA MICS Analyzers that
support CA MICS Accounting and Chargeback Option. To review a
list of those products and their journal files, refer to the
Journal File Eligibility - File Selection panel. You can
access it by selecting MWF;4;2;S;2.
Make sure you use a test database unit to validate the
accounting definitions and exits before activating this
component for accounting in a production database unit.
__ 1. If you want to activate accounting for the Batch and
Operations Analyzer, the CA MICS Network Analyzer
Option, or the VSE/POWER Analysis Product and plan to
use priority accounting, update the appropriate CA
MICS PARMS member as necessary.
o prefix.MICS.PARMS(JOBGROUP) for the Batch and
Operations Analyzer
o prefix.MICS.PARMS(NETGROUP) for the CA MICS
Network Analyzer Option
o prefix.MICS.PARMS(PWRGROUP) for the VSE/POWER
Analysis Product
If you revise any of these, submit the indicated job
to regenerate the coding:

and CA MICS Accounting and Chargeback Option is
installed in more than one database unit, the unit
selection panel will be displayed. You must enter
prorating specifications for each unit.
When you select an option, the Prorating Percent
Specifications panel will display. The lines you
insert on this panel specify an old value, which
identifies a record to prorate, a new value, which
identifies the new Cost Center 1 value, and a
percent, which indicates the percent of the original
charge the new Cost Center 1 value will receive.
+---------------------------------------------------+
| Reference(s): Sections 4.8 through 4.8.5.3 |
+---------------------------------------------------+
Submit the Prorating Generation job. There is a unit
level job and a complex level job. If you have made
any changes, you are automatically requested to
submit the proper job when you END from the Prorating
Percent Specifications panel.
The Prorating Generation jobs can also be submitted
from TSO as follows:
SUB 'sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL(PRORATE)'
or
SUB 'prefix.MICS.CNTL(PRORATEU)'
If you select journal file prorating for a standard
CA MICS journal file or FDA, complete this step for
each unit in which CA MICS Accounting and Chargeback
Option is installed before the next CA MICS DAILY job
(or update job for external journal files) is run for
the unit or the journal file charges will not be
prorated.
__ 13. If you will be using an FDA in CA MICS Accounting and
Chargeback Option that was generated at a pre-BAS4600
level, you must revise the FDA coding to provide the
interface between the two. See Section 2.3.4 for
further information on coding changes to your
pre-BAS4600 level FDA for the accounting interface.
