4.3.16 Space Utilization File (ADMSPC)

 
 During the INCRccc and DAILY job steps (by request) the
 ADMSPC file can be created to provide a snapshot of CA MICS
 work and database space usage.  This allows the CA MICS
 administrator to track utilization over time to ensure
 adequate space is being allocated to fulfill operational
 processing requirements.  A frequent review and adjustment of
 space usage will help avoid insufficient space-related abends
 as well as ensure that space is not overallocated. Over
 allocating space reduces the disk space available to other
 batch jobs running simultaneously with the CA MICS
 incremental or DAILY update job.
 
 You can access and report the ADMSPC file with a MICF
 inquiry.  See the distributed BASLA5 inquiry for an example
 of accessing the ADMSPC file.
 
 Additionally, you can create the Space Utilization Report
 during the INCRccc and DAILY job steps by specifying the
 WORKSPACE REPORT YES statement in prefix.MICS.PARMS(EXECDEF)
 of the database unit.  The report can be activated
 independently of the ADMSPC file.
