9.1 Processing Overview

The TSO Analyzer uses the standard data base update and
summarization facilities of CA MICS to maintain its data in
the online and offline data bases.  TSO/MON data is supplied
to CA MICS in the DAY010 step of the DAILY data base update
job.

The daily update step:

  o Reads and formats the raw data.
  o Translates command abbreviations into command names.
  o Maintains data integrity by eliminating duplicate data.
  o Summarizes activity by hour.
  o Builds the accounting journal files, if the CA MICS
    Accounting and Chargeback Product is used.
  o Adds new cycles to the DETAIL and DAYS time-spans.
  o Updates the week-to-date and month-to-date cycles.

A more detailed description of DAY010 processing is presented
in the next section.

Weekly processing is performed by the WEEK010 and WEEK300
steps.  The WEEK010 step splits the week-to-date files into a
new week-to-date and a new weekly '01' cycle.  The WEEK300
step creates the offline data base files.

Monthly processing is performed in steps MONTH010 and
MONTH300.  The MONTH010 step splits the month-to-date files
into a new month-to-date and a new cycle '01'.  It also
updates the year-to-date cycle.  The MONTH300 step creates
the monthly offline data base files.

Finally, the optional yearly processing is performed by the
YEAR010 step, which splits the year-to-date files into a new
year-to-date and a new cycle '01'.
