9. PROCESSING

Creating and maintaining a large data base system such as
CA MICS requires a closely monitored approach to the periodic
updating processes.  The CA MICS Data Base, just like any
other information data base (such as inventory control or
personnel), requires a systematic, monitored update process.

It is vital to the system's effectiveness that the data base
be updated daily to build the required daily, week-to-date,
month-to-date, and year-to-date files accurately.  This
chapter discusses operational considerations for the MVS
Hardware and SCP Analyzer to assist in daily operation of
this product.
