5.10.3 AUMTTA Usage Considerations

1.  Exercise care when using the special date and time data
    elements contained in each CA MICS file. As the file's
    granularity increases in higher timespans, certain fields
    lose significance and should not be referenced:

    o HOUR should not be used in MONTHS and YEARS.
    o DAY and DAYNAME should not be used in WEEKS, MONTHS, or
      YEARS.
    o WEEK should not be used in MONTHS or YEARS.
    o MONTH should not be used in YEARS.

2.  The data elements STARTTS and ENDTS have different
    meanings when used in the DETAIL timespan from when they
    are used in the DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS, and YEARS timespans.
    The ENDTS and STARTTS, when appearing in the higher
    timespans, indicate the span of time over which the data
    has been summarized.  STARTTS indicates the beginning of
    the timespan and ENDTS indicates the end of the timespan.

3.  To collect MeasureWare Transaction data, you need to
    prepare your applications and define service level
    objectives to the HP Transaction Tracker.  Please refer
    to the HP MeasureWare Agent:  Transaction Tracker
    Handbook for details.

4.  The AUMTTA file is turned off by default.  After you
    collect and export transaction data, make sure you turn
    on the AUMTTA file in AUMGENIN and run AUMCGEN to
    activate the file.
