8.3.2 MTI Component Creator

Once the Data Dictionary is generated, MTI is able to create
the definitions for an MTI Component based on the data that
will be input.  This feature makes it possible to create
operational components for processing Performance Trend data
without having any specialized training or experience.

Input data, inevitably, will change.  As changes occur, the
component generator can update the component definitions by
adding and deleting files based on the input data.

MTI will integrate any installation customization to an
MTI Component (e.g., file tailoring) into the changes made
by the component generator.  This feature of MTI eliminates
the need to keep reapplying customization every time the
component is updated.
One-Step MTI Component Creation

  The technologies introduced with MTI allow the creation of
  components with a single job.  No knowledge of CA MICS
  component definition syntax is necessary to create an MTI
  component.  Based on the transfer facility (see Section
  8.3.3) and the unique capabilities of NSM, CA MICS can read
  NSM Systems Performance output and, in a single step,
  create a full MTI component, ready for integration into CA
  MICS.  Since it is not necessary to specify multiple
  parameters in this automated process, implementation time
  is dramatically reduced.

  Yet, MTI components are highly configurable and you may opt
  to tailor the MTI components to suit your site's unique
  requirements.
CA MICS Accounting and Chargeback Support

  All MTI Components automatically include the necessary
  exits to support CA MICS Accounting and Chargeback.
