4.2.6 Entering Data Into CA MICS
Most CA MICS files are derived from measurement data produced
by one of the common software monitors such as SMF or CA
TSO/MON PM. For some CA MICS files, data can be entered
manually, either to update standard measurement data or as
the sole source of input to the file.
The MWF SAS With CA MICS Libraries (MSAS) application
supports manual data entry for the Operations Information
Area of the Batch and Operations Analyzer. See the CA MICS
Batch and Operations Analyzer Guide for information on
Operations Information Area files and data entry
requirements.
For instructions on manual data entry for the following
CA MICS products, see the following guides:
o CA MICS Accounting and Chargeback User Guide for the
Accounting Information Area of CA MICS Accounting and
Chargeback
o CA MICS Capacity Planner Guide for the capacity planning
application Database (CAPACITY).
