        transaction level.  This file is derived from the
        APPC/MVS TP Accounting (type 33) record.

BATSPL--Batch User Spool Activity File

        Quantifies the spool usage in terms of lines printed,
        remotes used, and forms used by individual batch
        account.  This file also maintains data on
        SMF-reported TSO usage as JOBGROUP=199.  This file is
        derived from the Output Writer (type 6) record.

BATWDA--Batch Workload Device Activity File

        Quantifies the use of a DASD device address by
        user-defined workload categories.  This file is
        derived from the Common Address Space Work (type 30)
        record.

BATSFH--Job Account Derivation Hold File

        Provides extended accountability for NJE SYSOUT and
        "late" SYSOUT.  This optional file is customized by
        each site to reflect your account field derivation
        requirements.

BATMUG--Measured Usage Global File

        Quantifies resource usage measures for products
        registered with IBM's Measured Usage License Charging
        (MULC) subsystem.  Resource collection is interval
        driven at the system identifier level.  This file is
        derived from the Usage Data (type 89) record.

BATMUA--Measured Usage Address Space File

        Quantifies resource usage measures for products
        registered with IBM's Measured Usage License Charging
        (MULC) subsystem.  Resource collection is at the
        address space step or interval level.  This file is
        derived from the Common Address Space Work (type 30)
        record.

BAT_OE--Open Edition/MVS Program File

        Quantifies the resource consumption and use of Open
        Edition/MVS address spaces.  This file is derived
        from the Common Address Work Space (type 30 subtypes
        2 through 4) record for Open Edition/MVS address
        spaces.

BATOEP--Open Edition/MVS Process Activity File

        Quantifies the resource consumption and use of
        individual Open Edition/MVS processes.  This file is

        Multisystem Enclave Remote System processes.  This
        file is derived from the Multisystem Enclave Remote
        System Data segments in the Common Address Work Space
        (type 30 subtypes 2 through 4) record.

BAT_SA--System Address Space Activity File

        Quantifies the resource consumption and usage of
        system address spaces.  This file is derived from the
        Common Address Work Space type 30 subtype 6 record
        for system address spaces.

OPERATIONS INFORMATION AREA

OPSOPI--Operations Incident File

        Identifies the incidents or events that affect the
        operational environment.  This file is derived from
        the IPL, Data Lost, SMF Status, TIOC Initialization,
        Start JES, Stop JES, and System Status records.

OPSCON--Operations Configuration File

        Identifies changes in the hardware configuration and
        when they occurred.  This file is derived from the
        I/O Configuration, Vary Online, Allocation Recovery,
        Vary Offline, and Configuration records.

OPSAVL--System Availability File

        Quantifies the amount of time the MVS Control Program
        was not active and includes reasons for the lack of
        availability.  It may be updated manually to enable
        you to record post-IPL analysis comments.  This file
        is derived from the System Status record and can be
        updated using a separate manual process.

OPSCTF--Operations Change Tracking File

        Identifies actions that are of significance to the
        data center.  It contains installation-dependent
        information and is built and maintained using a
        manual update process.
