5. MICF Administration

To access the MICF Administration menu from the CA MICS
Information Center Facility main menu, select option 4.

Administration of the CA MICS Information Center Facility
(MICF) is part of the administration of CA MICS performed by
the CA MICS System Administrator.  Some of the MICF
administration tasks affect only MICF and some are general
CA MICS administration tasks that impact other CA MICS
facilities as well. This chapter documents those tasks that
are unique to MICF and discusses the considerations for MICF
of the relevant general CA MICS administration tasks. The
details of the general CA MICS administration tasks are
discussed in the CA MICS Planning, Implementation, Operation,
and Maintenance Guide and in the online tutorials distributed
with the CA MICS Administrator Facility (MAF).

The MICF administration tasks consist of the following:

o  Maintaining the CA MICS Administrator Facility (MAF)
   Parameters. This is a general CA MICS administration task
   that impacts MICF.

o  Authorizing user access to CA MICS facilities. This is a
   general CA MICS administration task that impacts MICF.

o  Maintaining the shared MICF options.

o  Maintaining the shared inquiry catalog.

o  Maintaining the shared inquiry output catalog.

o  Maintaining MICF inquiry production reporting.

Each of these tasks is performed during the initial
installation of CA MICS and, with varying frequencies, during
the day-to-day operation of MICF.  For this reason, the
following discussion of MICF administration is divided into
two sections.

This section contains the following topics:
