9.1 Processing Overview

The CA MICS Analyzer Option for CA IDMS uses the standard
database update and summarization facilities of CA MICS to
maintain its data in the online and offline databases.  CA
IDMS Performance Monitor data is supplied to CA MICS in the
DAY045 step of the DAILY database update job.

The daily update step:

o  Reads and formats the raw data
o  Maintains data integrity by eliminating duplicate data
o  Summarizes activity
o  Adds new cycles to the DETAIL and DAYS timespans
o  Updates the week-to-date and month-to-date cycles

A more detailed description of DAY045 processing is presented
in the next section.

Weekly processing is performed by the WEEK045 and WEEK300
steps.  The WEEK045 step splits the week-to-date files into a
new week-to-date and a new weekly '01' cycle.  The WEEK300
step creates the weekly offline database files.

Monthly processing is performed by the MONTH045 and MONTH300
steps.  The MONTH045 step splits the month-to-date files into
a new month-to-date and a new monthly '01' cycle.  It also
appends data to the year-to-date file.  The MONTH300 step
creates the monthly offline database files.

The optional yearly processing is performed by the YEAR045
step that splits the year-to-date files into a new year-to-
date and a new '01' cycle.
