5. FILES


The CA MICS Batch and Operations Analyzer divides its data
logically into the Batch Information Area (BAT) and the
Operations Information Area (OPS).  Job, program, TSO
session, system task, APPC/MVS TPs, spooling, and device
workload information comprise the Batch Information Area data
files.  IPL, outage, and configuration data are in the
Operation Information Area files.  Figure 5-1 lists the
product's files and the timespans that are activated for each
file.  The chart in Figure 5-2 describes the files supported
by the Batch and Operations Analyzer and their data sources.

The table below identifies the individual database files and
categorizes them by the information area to which they
belong.  For each file in an information area, the following
data is provided:

XDWMYT - This entry defines the timespans in which the file
         is supported.  A nonblank indicates that the file is
         supported.  A period (.) indicates that the file is
         not supported.  The timespans 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 timespans 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.
