Figure 4-17. Journal File Specifications Worksheet
Use the worksheet to define the following parameters:
1. DATABASE UNIT IDENTIFIER
Description: The one-character CA MICS database unit
identifier.
Default: None
Values: Character, length 1
2. JOURNAL FILE
Description: The journal files in the unit. Specify the
two-character suffix of the journal file names.
Default: None
Values: Character, length 6.
3. NUMBER OF CYCLES
Description: Specifies the number of cycles of the
journal file that will be kept in the DETAIL timespan
of the CA MICS database.
Default: 02
Values: Numeric, length 2
4. COMPRESS FILE
Description: Specifies whether or not to compress this
journal file.
Default: NO
Values: Character, length 3, YES, NO, Y, or N
5. ZONE CHARGING
Description: Specifies whether or not to use zone
differential charging for this journal file.
Default: NO
Values: Character, length 3, YES, NO, Y, or N
NOTE: If this field is YES, you must specify service
factors in the prefix.MICS.PARMS(ZONE) parameter
for the unit. Refer to the discussion on service
factors in Section 2.3.2.3.1 of the Planning
Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Guide.
6. ZONE TIMESTAMP
Description: The data element used to compute the zone
for zone differential charging.
Default: ENDTS (if Zone Charging is YES)
Values: Character, length 8, any SAS datetime data
element appearing on the CA MICS product file from which
this journal file is derived.
NOTE: This specification is not applicable unless zone
differential charging is being used in this
journal file. ENDTS, STARTTS, or RDRTS are the
usual choices, but some products make available
other values that may be preferable in some
environments.
7. PRORATING
Description: This field specifies whether the data for
this journal file will be prorated when the journal file
is created. Prorating causes the charges for a single
record to be distributed to one or more different Cost
Center 1 values.
Default: NO
Values: Character, length 3, YES or NO
NOTE: If this field is YES, you must use the prorating
facility to specify how the charges are to be
distributed. Refer to Section 4.8, Prorating
Charges.
8. PRORATE FROM VARIABLE
Description: The data element that is compared to the
list of Old Values in the prorating definition to
determine whether a journal file record is to be
prorated.
Default: Blank if Prorating is NO; COSTCTR1 if
Prorating is YES.
Values: Character, length 8, any data element appearing
on the CA MICS product file from which this journal file
is derived. Since you use a single prorating table for
all journal files in a database unit, you should specify
the same variable for all journal files that are using
prorating in this unit.
9. PRIORITY CHARGING
Description: Specifies whether or not priority
accounting surcharges are to be applied to charges
derived from this file.
Default: None
Values: Character, length 3, YES, NO, Y, or N
NOTE: You can perform priority charging only on files
defined as priority charging files in the Journal
File Eligibility panels. Refer to Section 4.13
for more information on journal file eligibility.
You must specify service factors in the
appropriate CA MICS product parameter.
10. EFFECTIVE DATE TIMESTAMP VARIABLE
Description: Specifies the variable that will be
compared with the effective date to determine the rate
that will be used to compute the charge amount.
Default: ENDTS
Values: Character, length 8, ENDTS, or BILLTS
