4. EXCEPTIONS

The CA MICS Batch and Operations Analyzer supports the
standard CA MICS exception process. CA MICS exception
processing enables the I/S organization to focus on problems
impacting its effectiveness with respect to availability,
service, workload, standards, security, and performance for
the different areas of responsibility (such as batch, TSO, or
IMS).

The standard exceptions for this product are shown in Figure
4-1.  Each standard exception test is shipped with default
values.  However, to make effective use of the exception
process, you must evaluate your needs and modify the default
values to meet your installation's standards.
