4.3.10 Data Set Names


This section summarizes the data sets and data set names used
by the CA MICS system.  You can change the names of the data
sets as described in the CA MICS User Names Table (JCLNAMES)
section (2.3.3.3.2.3) of this guide.

CA MICS uses four types of data sets:

o  shared data sets used by all unit databases

o  data sets specific to one unit database

o  tape-resident (archival) data sets specific to one unit
   database

o  MVS system data sets

Shared data sets used by all CA MICS database units are:

          sharedprefix.MICS.ASM
          sharedprefix.MICS.BIN
          sharedprefix.MICS.CLIST
          sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL
          sharedprefix.MICS.DIC.TEXT
          sharedprefix.MICS.DOC.TEXT
          sharedprefix.MICS.DTF.INDEX
          sharedprefix.MICS.GENLIB
          sharedprefix.MICS.HOLD.PARMS
          sharedprefix.MICS.HOLD.USER.SOURCE
          sharedprefix.MICS.INC.TEXT
          sharedprefix.MICS.INCLLIB
          sharedprefix.MICS.ISPHLIB
          sharedprefix.MICS.ISPMLIB
          sharedprefix.MICS.ISPPLIB
          sharedprefix.MICS.ISPSLIB
          sharedprefix.MICS.ISPTLIB
          sharedprefix.MICS.LIBLOAD.CNTL
          sharedprefix.MICS.LOAD
          sharedprefix.MICS.LOCALMOD.CNTL
          sharedprefix.MICS.MACAUTOS
          sharedprefix.MICS.MACLIB
          sharedprefix.MICS.MCOLIB
          sharedprefix.MICS.MQR.TEMPLATE
          sharedprefix.MICS.MWFPDS.DATA
          sharedprefix.MICS.MWFSAS.DATA
          sharedprefix.MICS.OBJ
          sharedprefix.MICS.PARMS
          sharedprefix.MICS.PROTOLIB
          sharedprefix.MICS.SASFLS
          sharedprefix.MICS.SCREENS
          sharedprefix.MICS.SOURCE
          sharedprefix.MICS.TABLES
          sharedprefix.MICS.TEST.INCLLIB
          sharedprefix.MICS.TEST.SOURCE
          sharedprefix.MICS.USER.SOURCE

DASD data sets for use with a specific database are:

          prefix.MICS.CHECKPT.DATA
          prefix.MICS.CNTL
          prefix.MICS.IMSSUS1
          prefix.MICS.IMSSUS2
          prefix.MICS.MODEL
          prefix.MICS.MUOLIB
          prefix.MICS.PARMS
          prefix.MICS.RESTART.CNTL
          prefix.MICS.USER.SOURCE
          prefix.MICS.SPECIAL.SOURCE

          prefix.MICS.DETAIL
          prefix.MICS.DAYS
          prefix.MICS.WEEKS
          prefix.MICS.MONTHS
          prefix.MICS.YEARS

The DAYSMF step of the DAILY job splits the input data into
work data sets for the CA MICS products in the unit database.
The work data sets are named as follows, where ccc is the
corresponding component ID:

prefix.MICS.ccc.DATA

See the prefix.MICS.PARMS(JCLDEF) SMFRECORDING parameter for
a list of the ccc values for a unit database.  Your
prefix.MICS.PARMS(JCLDEF) DAYSMF parameter specification
controls whether the DAYSMF work data sets are permanent data
sets or whether they are scratched after the DAILY job
completes.

When incremental update is enabled for a Data Integration
Application, the corresponding INCRccc and DAILY database
update job steps allocate the following data sets:

$SMEM @BASIPDS

          prefix.MICS.ccc.IUCKPT
          prefix.MICS.ccc.IUDETAIL
          prefix.MICS.ccc.IUTAPE
          tapeprefix.MICS.ccc.IUXTAPE.GggggV00
          tapeprefix.MICS.ccc.IUDTAPE.GggggV00

          Note:  In the list above, ccc is the component ID.

                 The IUXTAPE and IUDTAPE Generation Data
                 Group data sets apply to the optional INCRDB
                 TAPE option.

The SPLITSMF job splits the input data into work data sets
for processing in the INCRccc jobs of those CA MICS products
in the unit database that have both INCRUPDATE YES and
INCRSPLIT USE parameters specified in the cccOPS parameter
member.  The work data sets are named as follows, where ccc
is the corresponding component ID:

prefix.MICS.ccc.IUSPLTDS

See the prefix.MICS.PARMS(JCLDEF) SMFRECORDING parameter for
a list of the potential ccc values for a unit database.  Then
check prefix.MICS.PARMS(cccOPS) for the INCRUPDATE YES and
INCRSPLIT USE options.

When internal step restart is enabled for a Data Integration
Application, the corresponding DAILY database update job step
dynamically allocates the following data sets:

$SMEM @BASRPDS

          prefix.MICS.cccXCKPT
          prefix.MICS.cccXWORK
          prefix.MICS.cccWRKnn

          Note:  In the list above, ccc is the component ID
          and nn the work file number (01 - 99).

If default archiving definitions are used, the archive tape
data sets used by a specific unit are:



          tapeprefix.MICS.AUDIT.iiifff.GggggV00
          tapeprefix.MICS.BACKUP.tttttt.GggggV00
          tapeprefix.MICS.BACKUP.CHECKPT.GggggV00
          tapeprefix.MICS.HISTW.iiifff.GggggV00
          tapeprefix.MICS.HISTM.iiifff.GggggV00
          tapeprefix.MICS.MBACKUP.tttttt.GggggV00
          tapeprefix.MICS.MBACKUP.CHECKPT.GggggV00

          Note:  In the list above, iiifff represents a
          CA MICS file name and tttttt is a time-span or can
          be SCREENS, TABLES, CAPACITY, CIMANAGE, or ISPTLIB.

MVS system data sets that are updated for CA MICS are:

o  MVS system or user catalog

o  SYS1.PROCLIB or other cataloged procedure data set

Another way to look at the data sets listed above is to
consider their functions in a running CA MICS system.
CA MICS data sets can be subdivided by what they contain:

o  Programs in both source and load module form.  With SAS,
   programs are run from their source version.  The load
   libraries are used for CA MICS routines coded in IBM
   assembly language.

o  Data, both online and offline.

o  Documentation in both machine-readable and printable form.

o  Control Information, whether maintained in CA MICS files
   or MVS system files (for example, prefix.MICS.PARMS or
   SYS1.PROCLIB).

o  Test Libraries for testing modifications to CA MICS.

Each of these functions is described in detail in the
sections below.

DATA (Online)

The following data sets comprise the CA MICS database.  If
you must break up any of the following data sets in order to
provide enough space to hold all of your data, refer to the
CA MICS Database Split Table (DBSPLIT) section (2.3.3.3.2.4)
of this guide.  For products that have their own guides,
refer to the information contained in those guides for
information specific to the product.

sharedprefix.MICS.ACTAUDIT

  A data set used by CA MICS Accounting and Chargeback.
  Refer to the product guide for more information about this
  data set.

sharedprefix.MICS.CAPACITY

  A SAS-managed data set containing files used by the CA MICS
  Capacity Planner.  See the product guide for more
  information about this data set.

sharedprefix.MICS.DTF.INDEX

  A sequential data set used as a directory of all Comma
  Separated Value (CSV) extract files available to other
  applications.  See the CA MICS Q&R Workstation User Guide
  for more information about this data set.

 sharedprefix.MICS.TABLES

  A SAS-managed data set containing data for CA MICS files in
  the Accounting and Operations information areas.  These
  files are not organized by timespan; data is entered into
  the files manually or by monthly Accounting and Chargeback
  processing.

sharedprefix.MICS.MWFPDS.DATA

  A library used by the CA MICS Information Center Facility
  (MICF) Shared Inquiry Output Catalog feature to save
  printed reports and the SAS log from CA MICS inquiry
  execution for later review.

sharedprefix.MICS.MWFSAS.DATA

  Center Facility (MICF) Shared Inquiry Output Catalog
  feature to save color graphics from MICF inquiry execution
  for later review.

prefix.MICS.DETAIL

  A SAS-managed data set holding all of the SAS files that
  make up the DETAIL timespan of the CA MICS database.

prefix.MICS.DAYS

  A SAS-managed data set holding all of the SAS files that
  make up the DAYS timespan of the CA MICS database.

prefix.MICS.WEEKS

  A SAS-managed data set holding all of the SAS files that
  make up the WEEKS timespan of the CA MICS database.

prefix.MICS.MONTHS

  A SAS-managed data set holding all of the SAS files that
  make up the MONTHS timespan of the CA MICS database.

prefix.MICS.YEARS

  A SAS-managed data set holding all of the SAS files that
  make up the YEARS timespan of the CA MICS database.

  Summarizing data at the YEARS level is optional.  A small
  YEARS file is kept in the database if you set the YEARS
  timespan to inactive in prefix.MICS.PARMS(SITE) or in
  sharedprefix.MICS.PARMS(CPLXDEF).  The YEARS file contains
  empty cycles (or zero observations) of CA MICS files
  supported at the YEARS timespan.

  If you set the YEARS timespan to inactive by setting the
  YEARS timespan flag to No for each file in
  sharedprefix.MICS.GENLIB(cccGENIN) (where ccc is the three-
  letter component identifier), no YEARS files are kept in
  the database.


Incremental Update Data Sets

When incremental update is enabled for a Data Integration
Application, the corresponding INCRccc and DAILY database
update job steps allocate the data sets listed below.
Depending on the options selected, these data sets can be one
of the following:

o  Permanent.

o  Allocated at the beginning of the INCRccc or DAILY
   job step and then deleted after being copied to tape.

o  Allocated at the beginning of the day and then
   deleted when the DAILY job completes successfully.

Note:  ccc is the Data Integration Application Component ID.

prefix.MICS.ccc.IUDETAIL

  A SAS-managed data set holding the current day's
  incremental update DETAIL timespan SAS files for the ccc
  product.

prefix.MICS.ccc.IUDAYS

  A SAS-managed data set holding the current day's
  incremental update DAYS timespan SAS files for the ccc
  product.

prefix.MICS.ccc.IUCKPT

  The ccc product's incremental update checkpoint file is
  used to keep track of the status of incremental update
  processing for this product.  Both the status of the last
  incremental update step to complete and the low and high
  date/time stamps associated with input data processed
  to-date are kept here.  This data set allows CA MICS to
  maintain database integrity during incremental update
  processing.


Internal Step Restart Data Sets

When internal step restart is enabled for a Data Integration
Application, the corresponding DAILY database update job step
dynamically allocates the following data sets.

These data sets are allocated and cataloged at the beginning
of the database update job step, and then are deleted at
normal end of job.  However, if the job step abends, the data
sets are retained for restart.

Note:  ccc is the Data Integration Application Component ID.

prefix.MICS.cccXCKPT

  A SAS-managed data set holding the SAS files that comprise
  the internal step restart checkpoint for this database
  update step.  These include the internal step restart
  control file, the internal step restart data set status
  file, and last completed database update processing phase
  checkpoint files.

prefix.MICS.cccXWORK

  The SAS work file for this database update step.

prefix.MICS.cccWRKnn

  The multiple work file support data sets for this database
  update step, where nn is the work file number (01 - 99).


DATA (Offline)

All of the following data sets are named using the tapeprefix
to associate them with other data sets specific to one
CA MICS unit database.

The value of tapeprefix is set by the TAPEPREFIX option of
prefix.MICS.PARMS(JCLDEF).  You can set tapeprefix equal to
prefix or it can be different if required to meet your site's
JCL standards for the naming of data sets stored on tape.

CA MICS packs multiple, related tape data sets onto a single
tape in order to conserve tape volumes.

In the following data set names:

o  timespan is either DETAIL, DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS, YEARS,
             CAPACITY, CIMANAGE, ISPTLIB, SCREENS, or TABLES

o  gggg      is the generation number

o  nn        is the volume number

o  iiifff    is the name of a CA MICS file (e.g., HARCPU)

o  ccc       is the CA MICS product identifier (e.g., SMF)


tapeprefix.MICS.BACKUP.timespan.GggggVnn

  CA MICS backs up the online database as specified in
  prefix.MICS.PARMS(JCLDEF).  Each time a backup is made, a
  new Generation Data Group (GDG) catalog entry is created
  for each of the timespans (DETAIL, DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS,
  YEARS).  The Checkpoint data set associated with the online
  database is also backed up since it must be kept
  synchronized with the database.  For the BACKUP job in the
  PRIMARY unit, complex data sets are also backed up.  These
  include the sharedprefix.MICS CAPACITY, CIMANAGE, ISPTLIB,
  SCREENS, and TABLES data sets.

tapeprefix.MICS.MBACKUP.timespan.GggggVnn

  CA MICS takes an additional backup of the online database
  and its checkpoint file each month as an added precaution
  against catastrophic data loss.  These data sets are
  patterned after the normal backup data sets discussed
  above.

tapeprefix.MICS.AUDIT.iiifff.GggggVnn

  CA MICS supports the creation of archive audit files.  This
  support allows you to keep information about individual
  units available for far longer periods of time than can be
  managed in the online database.

  If ARCHIVE AUDIT YES is specified in
  prefix.MICS.PARMS(JCLDEF), the AUDIT flag is set to Yes in
  sharedprefix.MICS.GENLIB(cccGENIN), and audit archive is
  active for this file in prefix.MICS.PARMS(DBMODEL); then
  each week thereafter, a data set with a name in the form
  shown above is created.  This data set contains a copy of
  the entire week's DETAIL-level data (or DAYS-level data if
  the DETAIL timespan is not supported) for user-related (as
  opposed to system-related) files.

tapeprefix.MICS.HISTW.iiifff.GggggVnn

  CA MICS supports the creation of archive history files.
  This support allows you to keep information in the WEEKS
  timespan available for far longer periods of time than can
  be managed in the online database.

  If ARCHIVE HISTW YES is specified in
  prefix.MICS.PARMS(JCLDEF), the HISTW flag is set to Yes in
  sharedprefix.MICS.GENLIB(cccGENIN) and weekly history
  archive is active for this file in
  prefix.MICS.PARMS(DBMODEL). Then, each week thereafter, a
  data set with a name in the form shown above is created.
  This data set contains all of the WEEKS data previously
  gathered for each file plus data from the week just ended
  (subject to the cutoff limit specified in
  prefix.MICS.PARMS(DBMODEL)).

tapeprefix.MICS.HISTM.iiifff.GggggVnn

  CA MICS supports the creation of archive history files.
  This support allows you to keep information in the MONTHS
  timespan available for far longer periods of time than can
  be managed in the online database.

  If ARCHIVE HISTM YES is specified in
  prefix.MICS.PARMS(JCLDEF), the HISTM flag is set to Yes in
  sharedprefix.MICS.GENLIB(cccGENIN), and monthly history
  archive is active for this file in
  prefix.MICS.PARMS(DBMODEL); then each month thereafter, a
  data set with a name in the form shown above is created.
  This data set contains all of the MONTHS data previously
  gathered for each file plus that from the month just ended
  (subject to the cutoff limit specified in
  prefix.MICS.PARMS(DBMODEL)).

tapeprefix.MICS.ccc.IUXTAPE.GggggVnn

  The CA MICS incremental update facility supports the option
  to offload incremental update data to tape between INCRccc
  and DAILY job executions.  With this option, data processed
  since the beginning of the day is online only when needed.
  This tape data set stores DETAIL timespan data from
  incremental update processing.

tapeprefix.MICS.ccc.IUDTAPE.GggggVnn

  The CA MICS incremental update facility supports the option
  to offload incremental update data to tape between INCRccc
  and DAILY job executions.  With this option, data processed
  since the beginning of the day is online only when needed.
  This tape data set stores DAYS timespan data from
  incremental update processing.


DOCUMENTATION

The text for all CA MICS documentation is available in the
following libraries.  JCL and programs are supplied with
CA MICS to format this text into printable guides or it can
be browsed online using the Documentation Access option from
the CA MICS Workstation Facility.

sharedprefix.MICS.DOC.TEXT

  This data set contains all CA MICS documentation that is
  not generated or is not a data element definition.  It is a
  variable blocked, LRECL=137 library containing single
  column text (columns 2-62) and figures (to column 133).

  The members of this library have stylized names:

  o  the first one or two characters are the CA MICS manual
     identifier

  o  the remaining characters denote the chapter and section
     in the guide.

  For example, the text you are reading is found in member
  L43A, where

  o  L is the (arbitrary) code for the CA MICS Planning,
     Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Guide

  o  43A denotes chapter 4, section 3.10.  Prefaces are
     denoted as X0, appendices as XA and so forth.  Section
     numbers above 9 are coded as letters, where A=10, B=11,
     and so forth.

  Members used in multiple guides or sections have names
  different from the structure noted above.  For example,
  sample ISPF panel members use the same name as in the
  ISPPLIB library.

sharedprefix.MICS.DIC.TEXT

  The text for the Data Dictionary resides in its own data
  set.  The member names in this library are the names of the
  data elements themselves.  Data elements are defined in the
  cccGENIN members of sharedprefix.MICS.GENLIB.  For example,
  the element EXCCODE identified in BASGENIN is documented in
  this data set as member EXCCODE.

sharedprefix.MICS.INC.TEXT

  This library holds documentation members that are copied by
  one or more documentation members during printing.  Most
  members in this library are generated by the CA MICS
  Component Generator.


CONTROL INFORMATION

Every application system has a large amount of control
information associated with it.  Some of this information
serves to guide the operation of the system's own programming
(such as parameter cards), while a good deal of it exists to
guide the operation of various operating system facilities
(such as entries in catalogs, VTOCs, the JCL PROCLIBs, etc.)
needed by the system.

CA MICS employs some very common control techniques (e.g.,
use of GDGs for related data sets) and some innovative ones
(e.g., generation of tailored SAS code as a means of
implementing CA MICS generation parameters).  The following
data sets are used to control the CA MICS system.

MVS System Catalog

  CA MICS employs the MVS catalog mechanism for the standard
  purpose of locating its data sets.  All CA MICS tape data
  sets (see above) are cataloged using the Generation Data
  Group facility.

SYS1.PROCLIB or Other Cataloged Procedure Data Set

  CA MICS creates JCL procedures that are used by its
  operational jobs (e.g., DAILY) and to allow user inquiry
  into the Database.  These PROCs are placed in the members
  PROCJOBx of prefix.MICS.CNTL.  The PROCJOBx jobs (also in
  prefix.MICS.CNTL) move the JCL procedures to one of your
  cataloged procedure (PROCLIB) data sets (it need not
  actually be SYS1.PROCLIB).

sharedprefix.MICS.CLIST

  A library containing CA MICS installation CLISTs and user-
  defined CLISTs for CA MICS ISPF applications startup.

prefix.MICS.CHECKPT.DATA

  The Checkpoint data set is used by CA MICS operational jobs
  (e.g., the DAILY update job) to keep track of the operating
  status of the system.  Information such as the last job
  step to complete and the low and high date/time stamps
  associated with input data processed by each installed
  component is kept here.  This data set allows CA MICS to
  maintain database integrity by refusing to restart an
  operational job in any spot but the correct one.

prefix.MICS.CNTL

  A JCL library containing generated batch jobs for a unit
  database.

sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL

  A JCL library containing distributed and generated batch
  jobs that apply to the entire CA MICS complex.

sharedprefix.MICS.GENLIB

  GENLIB contains control information used principally by the
  CA MICS Component Generator.  The generator input
  statements for each product are located in this library.
  It also contains one member, DBTABLE, that is used by
  CA MICS for cross-checking parameters between unit
  databases.

sharedprefix.MICS.HOLD.PARMS

  A library containing a standard set of parameter members
  that are copied by the COPYLIBS and COPYLIBU jobs when a
  creating a new unit database.

sharedprefix.MICS.LOCALMOD.CNTL

  Store your local modifications (e.g., IEBUPDTE modification
  jobs) to CA MICS in this library.  Refer to the System
  Modification Guide before modifying CA MICS programs.

prefix.MICS.MODEL

  When the SYSTEMMODEL JCLGEN option cannot be used at your
  site, the DCB attributes of the prefix.MICS.MODEL data set
  are used to create new archive and backup file generation
  data groups.  Since this data set never contains data, it
  frequently becomes the target of DASD cleanup programs and

sharedprefix.MICS.PROTOLIB

  A library of prototype JCL jobs and JCL procedures (PROCs).
  Users with extraordinary JCL tailoring needs and a good
  knowledge of the workings of the CA MICS JCLGEN process can
  modify members in this library to make changes in generated
  jobs.

  Although sharedprefix libraries are shared by all CA MICS
  units maintained at your site, unit-specific changes are
  possible through use of Generation Control Language (GCL).
  Refer to the JCLGEN Parameters for Special Requirements
  section (2.3.3.3) of this guide.

prefix.MICS.PARMS

  This library's members contain the numerous parameter
  specifications you must make to tailor CA MICS to your
  site's requirements.  Some of the members contain parameter
  statements and others are exits you must code in SAS.
  Parameter statements do not become effective until a
  generation takes place (e.g., JCLGEN or ALLPGEN).  Exits
  become effective immediately.

sharedprefix.MICS.PARMS

  This library is similar to prefix.MICS.PARMS in function,
  but is used to perform JCL generation at the CA MICS
  complex level rather than the unit database level.

sharedprefix.MICS.SASFLS

  A SAS-managed data set used to ship the contents of the
  TABLES, SCREENS, and MWFSAS.DATA data sets.  During the
  installation of CA MICS, the SASFLS data set is used to
  create and populate these data sets.  This data set is not
  used after the other data sets are created.

sharedprefix.MICS.SCREENS

  A SAS-managed data set containing the screen formats for
  the SAS Full Screen Product (FSP).  SAS/FSP is used to
  enter data for CA MICS files that allow manual data entry.
