7.3.1.12 SAJOB/NOSAJOB Statement

The SAJOB/NOSAJOB statement is optional and has the following
format:

NOSAJOB (Default)

or

SAJOB

CA MICS, by default, only writes batch activity to the BATJOB
file.  An observation is written to the BATJOB file for each
batch job that executed.  Other address space types (for
example, TSO, started tasks, APPC/MVS TPs, Open Edition/MVS
processes, and System Address Spaces) are represented at the
step and interval levels in the BAT_TS, BAT_ST, BAT_TP,
BAT_OE, and BAT_SA files, but not at the job level.

The SAJOB option statement forces CA MICS also to create
BATJOB observations for System Address Spaces.

SPECIFYING THE SAJOB/NOSAJOB OPTION STATEMENT

Nothing is required to specify NOSAJOB because it is the
default value.  To specify an SAJOB option statement, follow
these steps:

1. Edit prefix.MICS.PARMS(SMFOPS).

2. Insert a line as follows:

   SAJOB

3. Execute the job in prefix.MICS.CNTL(SMFPGEN).  If the
   SAJOB/NOSAJOB option statement is coded incorrectly, the
   job will abend.  Correct the problem as explained in the
   MICSLOG and resubmit.  Make sure the job completes with
   a condition code of zero.  If your SMFOPS member does
   not contain a SAJOB/NOSAJOB option statement, MICSLOG
   will tell you that the option is missing and that the
   default (NOSAJOB) was used.

TIPS and HINTS

CA MICS uses the BAT_JS01 file as the "information-to-date"
file for all address spaces that are still executing or
waiting to print.  Even if you do not require job-level
summarization for non-batch activity, an observation is
created and maintained in the BAT_JS01 file for purposes such
as supplying the ACCTNOx data elements to additional steps or
output.  There are only two reasons that CA MICS will
summarize resource utilization fields (for example, CPU Time,
Lines Printed) in the BAT_JS01 observation:

o You have an accounting requirement.

  If you have specified job-level accounting for non-batch
  work (for example, APPC/MVS TPs, started tasks, Open
  Edition/MVS processes), CA MICS will track and summarize
  all resource utilization fields for that address space
  type.

  For example, if you use CA MICS Accounting and Chargeback
  to account for TSO sessions at the job level, then CA MICS
  will summarize all resource utilization fields from all
  interval, step, and output writer records for all TSO
  sessions in the BAT_JS01 file.  When a TSO session is
  purged, or if the SUSPENDLIMIT is exceeded while the TSO
  session is waiting for output, CA MICS Accounting and
  Chargeback will create an ACTJBJ file observation for the
  session.  Output to the BATJOB file will not occur unless
  you have also specified TSOJOB in
  prefix.MICS.PARMS(SMFOPS).

o You have specified one of the xxxxJOB options.

  If you have specified TSOJOB, for example, then CA MICS
  will summarize all resource utilization fields from all
  interval, step, and output writer records for all TSO
  sessions in the BAT_JS01 file.  When a TSO session is
  purged or if the SUSPENDLIMIT is exceeded while the TSO
  session is waiting for output, a BATJOB observation is
  written with complete resource utilization.

  What happens to an existing record in the BAT_JS01 file
  when you either specify the xxxxJOB option or choose to
  account for that address space type at the job level?

  As stated earlier, CA MICS does not summarize resource
  fields to the job level in the BAT_JS01 file unless there
  is a specific need.  When you specify a need, either
  through CA MICS Accounting and Chargeback or by specifying
  an xxxxJOB option in SMFOPS, CA MICS will begin
  summarizing resource data for the specified address space
  type in the next daily update.  If an address space has
  previously been suspended and has a BAT_JS01 observation,
  only resources used in interval, step, and output writer
  records encountered after the change are collected.  When
  the BATJOB or ACTJBJ observation is created, it will not
  contain the complete resource utilization of the address
  space if any step, interval, or writer records were
  encountered prior to the change.

  All new work of the specified address space type will be
  fully accounted for.  The only BATJOB observations that
  could reflect partial resource utilization are those that
  were already in suspension when the change to xxxxJOB or
  accounting was made.
