4.5 Integrating CA MICS Data to NSM

This section describes the integration of CA MICS data to
NSM.  Sections 4.6 and 4.7 deal with the integration of NSM
data to CA MICS.

NSM provides end-to-end enterprise management encompassing
areas such as security management, storage management,
service/help desk, output management, performance and
accounting, network management, database and application
management, and workload management.

CA MICS integrates with NSM performance and accounting by
providing NSM data extract interfaces and a data transfer
utility.  The support allows CA MICS data to be extracted in
specific CSV (Comma Separated Value) formats that
subsequently can be processed by NSM Performance Trend or NSM
Chargeback.

The following topics are addressed in this section:

  1 - Integration with NSM Chargeback
  2 - Integration with NSM Performance Trend
