4.3.13 CA MICS Audit and History Archive Tapes

The CA MICS archive facility allows you to keep the direct
access storage device (DASD) space requirements of CA MICS to
a minimum by off-loading database files to tape.  It also
enables you to retain information for future analysis.

There are two types of CA MICS archive tapes, audit and
history.  The audit archive tape contains critical
DETAIL-level files that can be used for accounting,
performance, or security analysis.  The history archive tapes
contain data from user-designated files at the WEEKS or
MONTHS timespan that can be used for long-term analysis.

The following sections describe the processes of establishing
and creating the audit and history archive tapes and how to
retrieve information from them.
