4.3.3.1 Operational Processes


An operational process is a series of batch jobs that make up
a logical unit of work.  Operational processes update and
maintain the CA MICS Database.

There are four operational processes in CA MICS:

o  DAILY process   - the DAILY job followed by the BACKUP
                     job,

                     or

                     one or more SPLITSMF (optional) and
                     INCRccc jobs followed by the DAILY and
                     BACKUP jobs (where ccc is a product ID).

o  WEEKLY process  - the DAILY job followed by the WEEKLY job
                     followed by the BACKUP job

o  MONTHLY process - the  DAILY  job  followed by the MONTHLY
                     job followed by the BACKUP job

o  YEARLY process  - the DAILY job followed by the YEARLY job
                     followed by the BACKUP job

Incremental updates supplement the DAILY job and are
considered a part of the DAILY process.  Each INCRccc job
performs a portion of the ccc product's work that would
otherwise occur in the DAILY job.
