Appendix A. Special CA MICS Processing

The CA MICS database should contain the information
necessary to answer most of the questions which arise.  There
are times when the user may wish to access information which
is not available in the CA MICS database.  Some of the
reasons this may be necessary are:

    The data is required prior to the CA MICS daily run.

    The data required is too old to be in the production
    system and is not available in audit archive files.
    The data required is for a period prior to the CA MICS
    implementation.

    The data required is for a SYSID not maintained in the
    production database.

A process is available which allows the creation of databases
without disruption of normal CA MICS processing.  This
process is completely independent of the production CA MICS
processing.  It operates with its own database and is
controlled by its own checkpoint data set.
The remainder of this appendix is organized to provide the
user with an explanation of the special processing facilities
available.
