The CA MICS Analyzer Option for VM/CMS organizes its data
logically into the VMC and VMX Information Areas. The VMC
Information Area contains account data from all levels of VM
systems, while the VMX Information Area contains performance
data from VM systems. VM and user resource utilization and
activity are quantified. Additional information includes
device and channel activity and event-generated data such as
device SEEKs.
The table below identifies the individual Data Base
files and categorizes them by the Information Area to which
they belong. For each file in an information area, the
following information is provided:
XDWMYT - This entry defines the Time-Spans in which the file
is supported. A nonblank indicates that the file
is supported. A '.' indicates that the file is
not supported. The Time-Spans indicated by
"XDWMYT" are as follows:
X - DETAIL
D - DAYS
W - WEEKS
M - MONTHS
Y - YEARS
T - TABLES AREA
File - The name used to access this file.
File Name - The descriptive label for the file.
NOTE: The Time-Spans in which a file is supported are
defined by each installation when CA MICS is installed.
Therefore, this table has been generated as part of the
installation process to accurately reflect the CA MICS system
at your installation.

chapter on Database Structures in the Database Structure and
Content Guide. This chapter presents the data files within
the Analyzer as they are seen in the online database
structure. The files may also be located offline in either
audit or history archive files. The PIOM discusses these
other structures.
