4.5 CA MICS Network Standard Exceptions List


The exception selection routines are organized sequentially
by exception number within the DYSNTEXC member and consist of
SAS code.  This code contains the exception selection
criteria, severity level, management area, and the selection
criteria for the exception test (e.g., selection of
prime-time hours only).  Each exception test condition has
its name and number at the top so it can be located easily
within the DYSNTEXC member.  The value to be modified can
then be changed directly within the SAS code.

The following table lists the standard exceptions provided
with the CA MICS Network Analyzer Option, including the
exception number, default severity level, management area
code, and descriptive title.
