Figure 4-90. Journal File Eligibility Worksheet
Use the worksheet to define the following parameters:
1. JOURNAL FILE ID
Description: The journal file identifier.
Default: None
Values: Character, length 6. It must begin with ACTJ.
For external journal files or FDA journal files, you must
use U or Z in the fifth position to avoid conflict with
standard CA MICS journal files.
NOTE: This value must be unique across all journal
files.
2. JOURNAL FILE DESCRIPTION
Description: A descriptive long name for the journal
file.
Default: None
Values: Character, length 40
NOTE: The long name will appear on the rate table
parameter panels.
3. COMPONENT ID
Description: The identifier of the database component,
external journal file, or FDA associated with the journal
file (for example, SMF for the CA MICS Batch and
Operations Analyzer). Use EXT for external journal
files.
Default: None
Values: Character, length 3
NOTE: There must be an entry for the CA MICS component
or FDA in the MICF Information Area Table. An
entry in this table is automatically created as
part of the component or FDA generation process.
4. SOURCE COMPONENT FILE ID
Description: The identifier of the CA MICS database
component file, external file, or FDA file from which the
journal file is derived (for example, JOB from the BATJOB
file).
Default: None
Values: Character, length 3. This is the last three
characters of the six-character file name. For external
files not based on a CA MICS database component file, the
first character must begin with U or Z.
NOTE: There must be an entry in the MICF File Definition
Table for a CA MICS component file or for an FDA
file. An entry in this table is automatically
created as part of the generation process.
5. SOURCE COMPONENT FILE TIMESPAN
Description: The timespan of the CA MICS component file,
external file, or FDA file from which the journal file is
derived.
Default: None
Values: Character, length 7--For standard CA MICS
journal files and FDAs, use DETAIL or DAYS. For
external journal files not based on a CA MICS
database component file, leave this area blank.
For external journal files based on a higher
timespan of a CA MICS component file, use the
file's timespan.
NOTE: The file must be active in this timespan. This
field is used by the online Charging Element Table
and Rate Table parameter processing to determine
which data elements exist in the file.
6. WORKUNIT VARIABLE
Description: The name of the variable to be assigned to
the Workunit variable.
Default: None
Values: Character, length 8
NOTE: If the variable name is not an active variable in
the CA MICS component or FDA file from which this
journal file is derived, a warning message is
displayed.
If you change this variable, it is very important
that you re-examine the Workunit values in
algorithm qualification and any Workunit
qualification groups used with this journal file.
Failure to do so could result in lost charges. No
validation is done for external journal files not
based on a CA MICS database component file.
7. BILLING TIMESTAMP VARIABLE
Description: The name of the variable to be assigned to
BILLTS.
Default: None
Values: Character, length 8
NOTE: If the variable name is not contained in the
CA MICS component or FDA file from which this
journal file is derived, a warning message is
displayed. No validation is done for external
journal files not based on a CA MICS database
component file.
8. Workarea VARIABLE 1
Description: The name of the variable to be assigned to
the Workarea variable in positions 1-8.
Default: Blank
Values: Character, length 8
NOTE: This field is optional. If it is left blank, no
assignment will be made. If the variable name is
not contained in the CA MICS component or FDA file
from which this journal file is derived, a warning
message is displayed. No validation is done for
external journal files not based on a CA MICS
database component file.
9. Workarea VARIABLE 2
Description: The name of the variable to be assigned to
the Workarea variable in positions 9-16.
Default: Blank
Values: Character, length 8
NOTE: This field is optional. If it is left blank, no
assignment will be made. If the variable name is
not contained in the CA MICS component or FDA file
from which this journal file is derived, a warning
message is displayed. No validation is done for
external journal files not based on a CA MICS
database component file.
10. SUBSYSID VARIABLE
Description: The name of the variable that contains the
SUBSYSID value.
Default: Blank
Values: Character, length 8
NOTE: This field is optional. If it is left blank, *ALL
is the only SUBSYSID value that may be used during
Rate Table Algorithm Qualification. If the
variable name is not contained in the CA MICS
component or FDA file from which this journal file
is derived, a warning message is displayed. No
validation is done for external journal files not
based on a CA MICS database component file.
If you change this variable, it is very important
that you re-examine the SUBSYSID values in
algorithm qualification and any SUBSYSID
qualification groups used with this journal file.
Failure to do so could result in lost charges.
A validation table may be entered for any SUBSYSID
variable. This table will be used in the
algorithm qualification and qualification groups
panels to prevent invalid values from being
entered. Invalid values could result in lost
charges.
Validation tables have been delivered for default
SUBSYSID variables wherever possible. These may
be edited, and new ones created, by specifying
YES in the "Edit validation table" field that
follows the "SUBSYSID variable" field on the
panel. Note that there is one validation table
per SUBSYSID variable per component. If two
journal files in the same component use the same
variable for SUBSYSID, they will also use the
same validation table.
11. SUBTYPE VARIABLE
Description: The name of the variable that contains the
Subtype value.
Default: Blank
Values: Character, length 8
NOTE: This field is optional. If it is left blank, *ALL
is the only Subtype value that may be used during
Rate Table Algorithm Qualification. If the
variable name is not contained in the CA MICS
component or FDA file from which this journal file
is derived, a warning message is displayed. No
validation is done for external journal files not
based on a CA MICS database component file.
If you change this variable, it is very important
that you re-examine the Subtype values in
algorithm qualification and any Subtype
qualification groups used with this journal file.
Failure to do so could result in lost charges.
A validation table may be entered for any Subtype
variable. This table will be used in the
algorithm qualification and qualification groups
panels to prevent invalid values from being
entered. Invalid values could result in lost
charges.
Validation tables have been delivered for default
Subtype variables wherever possible. These may
be edited, and new ones created, by specifying
YES in the "Edit validation table" field that
follows the "Subtype variable" field on the
panel. Note that there is one validation table
per Subtype variable per component. If two
journal files in the same component use the same
variable for Subtype, they will also use the
same validation table.
12. SINGLE FILE DATA STEP
Description: Indicates whether this is the only journal
file created in the CA MICS database component SAS data
step.
Default: YES
Values: Character, length 3--For standard CA MICS
journal files and external journal files, you
cannot change this field. (This field is always
set to YES for external journal files.)
For FDA journal files, enter YES if this journal
file is the only journal file created in the
user component SAS data step. Otherwise, enter
NO to indicate that at least one other journal
file is created.
13. PRIORITY CHARGING
Description: Indicates whether the priority charging can
be used with the journal file.
Default: NO
Values: Character, length 3, YES or NO
14. PRIORITY VARIABLE
Description: The name of the variable that contains the
priority value.
Default: Blank
Values: Character, length 8
NOTE: If this is not a priority charging file, leave
this field blank. If the variable name is not
contained in the CA MICS component or FDA file
from which this journal file is derived, a warning
message is displayed. No validation is done for
external journal files not based on a CA MICS
database component file.
15. PRIORITY FORMAT
Description: The name of the SAS PROC FORMAT that
specifies the service factors for the priority values.
Default: Blank
Values: Character, length 8
NOTE: If this is not a priority charging file, leave
this field blank. The charge for a work unit run
at a particular priority is multiplied by the
corresponding service factor. The service factors
are specified in a data source component (for
example, Batch and Operations Analyzer) parameter,
and the PROC FORMAT is created by the component's
PGEN job.
16. PRIORITY ID
Description: The character that will be used for the
first position of the computation code. The rest of the
computation code will contain the priority charged.
Default: Blank
Values: Character, length 1
NOTE: If this is not a priority charging file, leave
this field blank.
