Operational Status and Tracking presents a scrollable display
of the unit databases in your CA MICS complex. There is one
line on the display for each unit database.

  o The primary display shows the current status of each unit
    database update.

  o Secondary displays, accessed by scrolling RIGHT, show the
    CA MICS processing schedule and Operational Status and
    Tracking parameters:

    - Use the RIGHT primary command to access the secondary
      displays.  Scroll right once for the schedule forecast
      display and scroll right again for the parameter
      display.

    - Use the LEFT primary command to return to the primary
      (status) display.  LEFT MAX returns immediately to the
      primary display.

Note:  Operational Status and Tracking does not fully support
CA MICS incremental update facilities.  The JOBLOG command
will report on INCRccc and SPLITSMF executions.  However, the
SCHEDULE command cannot be used to schedule the INCRccc and
SPLITSMF jobs because their scheduling is dependent on the
availability of the input data and on day-time batch
processing considerations unique to your data center.  You
can use the primary and/or line commands for INCRUPDT and
SPLITSMF to manually submit these jobs.

This section describes the content of the three Operational
Status and Tracking displays.

  o Database Status Display
  o Schedule Forecast Display
  o Parameter Display

The Database Status, Schedule Forecast, and Parameter
displays begin with a database heading that consists of three
columns of database identification.

  o ID    - The CA MICS unit database (DB) ID you specified
            when you defined the unit database.

  o Label - The 1-8 character unit DB label you specified
            when you defined the unit database.

  o Type  - The type of unit database.
            P is the PRIMARY database.
            U is a standard production UNIT database.
            T is a TEST database.
            S is a SPECIAL database.
DATABASE STATUS DISPLAY

The Database Status display presents information on the
current operation, last completed processing, and the
database update status.  It is the default display when you
access Operational Status and Tracking.

Current Operation as of - The date of the CA MICS database
                          update process and status.  (Two
                          columns of information are
                          displayed.)

  o The panel initially lists the processing scheduled for
    today.  If you enter the DAILY, WEEKLY, MONTHLY, YEARLY,
    BACKUP, RESTORE, or RSTATUS commands, then Current
    Operation becomes the processing you requested.  The
    display also reacts to processing scheduled outside of
    Operational Status and Tracking.  Once database update
    processing begins, Current Operation is changed to
    reflect the processing that is in progress or completed.

  o Current operation includes:

      DAILY    - Daily CA MICS database update.

      INCRUPDT - Daily CA MICS database update.

      WEEKLY   - Daily database update and weekly cycle
                 closeout.

      MONTHLY  - Daily database update and monthly cycle
                 closeout.

      YEARLY   - Daily database update and yearly cycle
                 closeout.

      BACKUP   - Database backup was explicitly requested or
                 failed.

      RESTORE  - Database restore was explicitly requested or
                 failed.

      RSTATUS  - Database run status processing was
                 explicitly requested.


  o Processing status includes:

      Completed  - Processing executed today has completed
                   successfully.

      DUE TODAY  - Scheduled processing has not yet occurred.

      OVERDUE    - Scheduled processing is late.

                   Today's processing is OVERDUE if not
                   complete by the user-specified deadline
                   (hh:mm).  The default is 8 a.m.

      Submitted  - Scheduled or requested processing has been
                   submitted for execution but is not yet
                   complete.

      INCOMPLETE - Database update processing began execution
                   but has not finished.

                   If the job is NOT still executing, then it
                   may have been canceled by the operator,
                   failed with a JCL error, or terminated by
                   an MVS system crash.  RESTART may be
                   required.

      FAILED     - Scheduled or requested processing
                   terminated abnormally.

                   Use the STATUS command for more
                   information.  Use the RESTART command to
                   restart database update processing.

                   You can enter the BACKUP or RESTORE
                   command to restart backup/restore
                   processing that failed.

Last Completed - The last CA MICS process completed for this
                 unit database.  Two columns of information
                 are displayed.

  o Job/Step - The last production job (DAILY, INCRUPDT,
               WEEKLY, MONTHLY, YEARLY, BACKUP, or RESTORE)
               completed if no errors occurred.

               If database update processing failed or is
               still in progress, the last completed step
               name is displayed.

               For example, if daily processing failed
               updating the SMF product files, then DAY020
               would appear to show that CA MICS completed
               the DAY020 (update RMF product files) step.
               In this situation, restart would be at the
               DAY030 step.

               If BACKUP or RESTORE processing failed,
               Job/Step is not changed. That is, Last
               Completed still reflects the last completed
               processing before BACKUP or RESTORE began.

  o Date     - The date that Job/Step completed.

Edit JCL - Use this column to specify whether you want to
           edit generated production job JCL before the job
           is submitted for processing.

Suspend Updates - The database update status.

   YES - Database update processing has been suspended.

         This generally means that maintenance is being
         applied.  CA MICS will NOT allow you to execute any
         database update processing.

         Enter the RESUME command to activate database
         update processing.

   NO -  Database update processing is available.  This is
         the normal status.

         Enter the SUSPEND command to block database update
         processing.

The Operational Status and Tracking display is refreshed when
you execute any Operational Status and Tracking command.  Use
the REFRESH command to update the display without invoking
other functions.

Access the Seven Day Schedule Forecast by scrolling RIGHT
from the Database Status display.

This panel displays the CA MICS processing schedule for a
seven day period.  The first column is the schedule beginning
date.  This is the date of the first schedule forecast entry.

Seven schedule forecast entries follow the schedule beginning
date.  Each forecast entry has the format dwmyb for DAILY,
WEEKLY, MONTHLY, YEARLY, and BACKUP, respectively.

The schedule forecast entries indicate which CA MICS process
is scheduled for a specific day (the beginning date and the
next six days): DAILY, DAILY/BACKUP, DAILY/WEEKLY/BACKUP, and
so on.  A period (.) indicates that the corresponding job is
NOT scheduled.
In the example above, the following processing is scheduled
for the D (DASD) unit:

  o October 9 -  WEEKLY process (DAILY/WEEKLY/BACKUP)
  o October 10 - MONTHLY process (DAILY/MONTHLY/BACKUP)
  o October 11 through 15 - DAILY process (DAILY/BACKUP)

Access the Parameter display by scrolling RIGHT from the
Schedule Forecast display.

This panel lists the overdue time for each unit database.
Use the Overdue column to override the 08:00 default daily
A MICS database update processing deadline.

  o Daily processing is considered late and status is set to
    OVERDUE if not completed before this user-specified time-
    of-day.

  o Status is DUE TODAY until the overdue time.
