VMS ACCOUNTING and VMS MONITOR are standard data sources on
VMS Systems.  The sections that follow illustrate the typical
operation of the ACCOUNTING and MONITOR utilities for use
with CA MICS. The operation of these utilities is described
fully in the related documentation offered by Compaq Computer

The CA MICS VMS System Usage collection routine (DEXSUS)
coordinates and combines the operation of several other VMS
Utilities supported by Hewlett Packard Corporation,
including:

    VMS ANALYZE/DISK_STRUCTURE Utility

    VMS SYSMAN Utility, specifically the DISKQUOTA SHOW
       command

    VMS SHOW command

    VMS DCL lexical functions

The CA MICS VMS System Usage collection routine is a Digital
Command Language (DCL) routine called DEXSUS.COM.  The
sections that follow illustrate typical operation and explain
the options of the DEXSUS.COM routine.   Chapter 8 of this
guide explains how to install the DEXSUS.COM routine.
