9.1 Daily Update Processing Flow

This section describes the daily processing flow of the CA
MICS Batch and Operations Analyzer and its relation to the
locations of CA MICS Batch and Operations Analyzer user exit
routines.

The CA MICS Batch and Operations Analyzer update process is
divided into six distinct processing phases:

    o  Input Raw SMF Data Phase

    o  SMF Interim Data Suspension Phase

    o  Batch Information Area Processing Phase
          Job-Related Data Joining
          Database Detail/DAYS Timespan Output

    o  Operations Information Area Processing Phase
          Database Detail/DAYS Timespan Output

    o  Database Timespan Update Phase

    o  File Aging Phase

The following sections describe the general logic flow in
each of the phases, as well as the location of standard user
routines or user exits.

    1 - Phase 1 - Input Raw SMF Data
    2 - Phase 2 - SMF Interim Data Suspension
    3 - Phase 3 - Batch Information Area Processing
    4 - Phase 4 - Operations Information Area Processing
    5 - Phase 5 - Database Timespan Update Phase
    6 - Phase 6 - File Aging Phase
