6.6.4 Device Activity And Utilization

The CA MICS Batch and Operations Analyzer provides three
views of device activity:

   o The BATWDA file provides device activity statistics by
     device address and performance group.

   o Data elements in the program and job level files provide
     device activity statistics at the device class (ex.,
     TAPE, DASD, UNIT_REC) level.

   o Data elements in the BATSPL file provide printer
     activity statistics.

The following sections describe how CA MICS accumulates
device activity statistics and the three views of device
activity.

    1 - EXCP Segment Processing
    2 - Device Activity By Device Address (BATWDA File)
    3 - Device Allocations By Device Class (Step/Job Files)
    4 - Data Set Allocations By Device Class (Step/Job Files)
    5 - Printing Device Activity (BATSPL File)
