Once you have specified how CA MICS is to calculate
turnaround time, specify parameters that define the batch
JOBGROUPs, their associated service objectives, and the
descriptive names by which CA MICS may refer to them.
CODING THE GROUP STATEMENT
The GROUP statement defines the JOBGROUP value for standard
job groups (JOBGROUP = 1-149). As with most CA MICS PARMS
members, the format of statements is free-form, but
positional. Blank statements are not allowed. Comments are
coded by beginning a statement with an asterisk (*). You
should modify the sample JOBGROUP member's GROUP statement
distributed with the product rather than code it from
scratch. A GROUP statement has the following format:
GROUP nnn mmmmmm sf 'descriptive text' or
GROUP nnn mmmmmm:ss sf 'descriptive text'
where:
nnn = the identifying number of this standard JOBGROUP
(1-149). The job groups must be specified
sequentially in ascending order. They do not
have to be contiguous, and should, in fact, be
defined with open slots for future use. Jobs
that have a conventional service requirement,
such as ten-minute turnaround, must be assigned a
job group from this range.
mmmmmm or the target turnaround time for jobs in this
mmmmmm:ss = JOBGROUP, expressed in minutes or minutes and
seconds (e.g., job group 1 target is ten-minute
turnaround time). The target turnaround time
must be greater than or equal to the turnaround
time defined for the previous JOBGROUP.
To specify seconds (ss), a colon (:) is required
to separate minutes (mmmmmmmm) and seconds.
For example, if the target time is ten minutes, a
job in this group whose turnaround time is less
than ten minutes has at least met the target. A
turnaround time of less than ten minutes means
that the target has been met or exceeded,
depending on whether another job group has been
defined with a lower target than ten minutes.
(By the coding rules for the JOBGROUP member, the
other definition would have to precede the
ten-minute one.) If there is no such job group,
the target has been met. If there is a job group
defined with a lower target and if the service
objective of THAT job group has been met or
exceeded, the target for the job in question has
been exceeded. Note that the jobs in the first
job group can meet but never exceed their service
objective, since there is no lower service
objective.
In the following example, the comment within
single quotes describes the turnaround values for
which the target will have been considered MET.
GROUP 1 0:10 1 '0 <=turnaround-time
<= 0:10'
GROUP 2 0:30 1 '0:10 < turnaround-time
<= 0:30'
GROUP 3 1:30 1 '0:30 <=turnaround-time
<= 1:30'
GROUP 4 10 1 '1:30 < turnaround-time <= 10'
GROUP 5 60 1 '10 < turnaround-time <= 60'
GROUP 7 240 1 '60 < turnaround-time <= 240'
GROUP 9 1440 1 '240 < turnaround-time <= 1440'
GROUP 13 1440 'OTHER'
Job group 13 is for all jobs that exceed the
longest turnaround target.
If seconds (ss) is specified, minutes (mmmmmmmm)
can be zero (o).
sf = the service factor, which allows priority
accounting by CA MICS Accounting and Chargeback.
It allows a discount or surcharge factor to be
specified for particular JOBGROUPs to reflect the
level of service requested by the user. The
service factor is only applied if the service
request is met or exceeded. The allowable range
of values for the service factor is 0.1 through
99.9.
For more information on the service factor, refer
to the CA MICS Accounting and Chargeback Guide.
This parameter must be specified even if CA MICS
Accounting and Chargeback is not installed.
'descriptive text' = a 1- to 30-character title that
describes this JOBGROUP. The title must be
enclosed in single quotes.
NOTE: JOBTURTM is the name of the data element in the Batch
User Job Activity File (BATJOB) that holds computed
turnaround time. This value is set only for jobs
assigned a standard job group number. JOBTURTM is set
to a missing value for jobs assigned a deadline job
group because CA MICS is only concerned with the
setting of the target missed/met/exceeded variables
for deadline jobs.
