4.8.5.1 Prorating From Journal Files Checklist

The journal file prorating method performs the prorating as
the accounting journal files are built in the CA MICS DAILY
run.  Each journal file, for which prorating has been
specified, includes multiple observations for each work unit
selected for prorating.  If it was prorated to one or more
new COSTCTR1s, the original observation will not appear in
the journal file.  Since the Ledger File is summed from the
journal files, it also reflects the prorating.  The standard
CA MICS files are not affected.

Follow these steps to prorate from journal files:

__  1.  If you want to prorate all units from a complex level
        set of prorating specifications, specify YES for
        "Always use complex level prorating table" on the
        General Installation Accounting Specifications panel
        (MWF;4;2;3;2;1).  Otherwise, specify NO.

        Refer to Section 4.8.2 for more information about
        these specifications.

__  2.  Submit the accounting options generation job,
        ACTXOPTS, in sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL.  You are
        automatically placed into ISPF Edit on ACTXOPTS each
        time you enter or change the General Installation
        Accounting Specifications.

__  3.  If you are using the complex level prorating table,
        select Option 2, Complex Level Prorating, on the
        Prorating Menu (MWF;4;2;3;8;2) to specify the
        prorating parameter.

        Otherwise, select Option 1, Unit Level Prorating, on
        the Prorating Menu (MWF;4;2;3;8;1).  Specify the
        prorating parameter for each unit in which you want
        prorating performed.

__  4.  If you are using the complex level prorating table,
        run the complex level prorating generation job,
        PRORATE, in sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL to create the
        $PRORATC format.

        Otherwise, run the unit level prorating generation
        job, PRORATEU, in prefix.MICS.CNTL to create the
        $PRORATE format.  You must run this job in each unit
        for which you specified a prorating parameter.

        You are automatically placed into ISPF Edit on the
        correct job when you enter or change the prorating
        parameter.

__  5.  If you need to prorate from more than a single data
        element, or if you need to prorate to cost center
        levels other than COSTCTR1, code the appropriate
        macros in sharedprefix.MICS.SOURCE(#ACTEXIT) as
        discussed in Sections 4.8.3 and 4.8.4.

__  6.  For each journal file that you want to prorate,
        specify YES for Journal Prorating on the Rate Table
        Journal File Specifications panel. If you want to
        prorate from a variable other than COSTCTR1, specify
        it as the Prorate From variable.  Otherwise, COSTCTR1
        is used.  Refer to Section 4.3.1.2 for more
        information about these specifications.

__  7.  Submit the Rate Table generation job, MAGRUN, in
        prefix.MICS.CNTL.  If you change any parameter
        specifications, you are automatically placed into
        ISPF Edit on this member each time you END from the
        Rate Table parameter.

        Prorating will begin with the next execution of the
        CA MICS DAILY job following the MAGRUN.
