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.
