1. Database Structure


The CA MICS Database Structure and Content Guide enumerates
the features provided with the database and also explains the
structure, summarization pattern, data element content, and
uses of the CA MICS Platform (Base Product) database files.

Refer to the Files chapter in the individual Product Guides
or Application Extension Guide for a description of the
information area files populated by each CA MICS Data
Integration or Application Extension product.

Descriptions of the chapters and appendices follow:

  Chapter 1  - Database Structure

       The remainder of Chapter 1 describes the database
       structure, organization, and data content.

  Chapter 2  - Administrative Information Area files

       Chapter 2 describes the files in the Administrative
       Information Area in the CA MICS Database, lists the
       elements in each file, and describes how to use the
       information in the files.  (The elements are described
       in Appendix A, the Data Dictionary.)

  Chapter 3  - Field Developed Applications

       Chapter 3 (member I3) is reserved for you to document
       the Field Developed Applications (or user components)
       you have installed into the CA MICS complex.

  Appendix A - Data Dictionary

       Appendix A lists CA MICS common elements, the data
       elements in the Administrative Information Area, and
       provides a place for you to document Field Developed
       Application date elements.  For each element, it:

       -  describes the content of the element at the DETAIL
          timespan.
       -  classifies it by the TYPE specification.
       -  lists related elements.
       -  describes how CA MICS sets the value for the
          element.
       -  documents the range of valid values.
       -  describes how the element is summarized and
          provides usage notes.
