4.3.10 Data Set Names

This section summarizes the data sets and data set names used
 by the CA MICS system.  You can change the names of the data
 sets as described in the CA MICS User Names Table (JCLNAMES)
 section (2.3.3.3.2.3) of this guide.
 
 CA MICS uses four types of data sets:
 
 o  shared data sets used by all unit databases
 
 o  data sets specific to one unit database
 
 o  tape-resident (archival) data sets specific to one unit
    database
 
 o  MVS system data sets
 
 Shared data sets used by all CA MICS database units are:

           sharedprefix.MICS.SCREENS                                            
           sharedprefix.MICS.SOURCE                                             
           sharedprefix.MICS.TABLES                                             
           sharedprefix.MICS.TEST.INCLLIB                                       
           sharedprefix.MICS.TEST.SOURCE                                        
           sharedprefix.MICS.USER.SOURCE                                        
                                                                                

DASD data sets for use with a specific database are:

          prefix.MICS.CHECKPT.DATA
          prefix.MICS.CNTL
          prefix.MICS.IMSSUS1
          prefix.MICS.IMSSUS2
          prefix.MICS.MODEL
          prefix.MICS.MUOLIB
          prefix.MICS.PARMS
          prefix.MICS.RESTART.CNTL
          prefix.MICS.USER.SOURCE
          prefix.MICS.SPECIAL.SOURCE

          prefix.MICS.DETAIL
          prefix.MICS.DAYS
          prefix.MICS.WEEKS
          prefix.MICS.MONTHS
          prefix.MICS.YEARS
 
 If default archiving definitions are used, the archive tape
 data sets used by a specific unit are:

          prefix.MICS.ccc.IUCKPT
          prefix.MICS.ccc.IUDETAIL
          prefix.MICS.ccc.IUTAPE
          tapeprefix.MICS.ccc.IUXTAPE.GggggV00
          tapeprefix.MICS.ccc.IUDTAPE.GggggV00

          Note:  In the list above, ccc is the component ID.

                 The IUXTAPE and IUDTAPE Generation Data
                 Group data sets apply to the optional INCRDB
                 TAPE option.

The SPLITSMF job splits the input data into work data sets
 for processing in the INCRccc jobs of those CA MICS products
 in the unit database that have both INCRUPDATE YES and
 INCRSPLIT USE parameters specified in the cccOPS parameter
 member.  The work data sets are named as follows, where ccc
 is the corresponding component ID:
 
 prefix.MICS.ccc.IUSPLTDS
 
 See the prefix.MICS.PARMS(JCLDEF) SMFRECORDING parameter for
 a list of the potential ccc values for a unit database.  Then
 check prefix.MICS.PARMS(cccOPS) for the INCRUPDATE YES and
 INCRSPLIT USE options.
 
 When internal step restart is enabled for a Data Integration
 Application, the corresponding DAILY database update job step
 dynamically allocates the following data sets:


          prefix.MICS.cccXCKPT
          prefix.MICS.cccXWORK
          prefix.MICS.cccWRKnn

          Note:  In the list above, ccc is the component ID
          and nn the work file number (01 - 99).

If default archiving definitions are used, the archive tape
data sets used by a specific unit are:


          tapeprefix.MICS.AUDIT.iiifff.GggggV00
          tapeprefix.MICS.BACKUP.tttttt.GggggV00
          tapeprefix.MICS.BACKUP.CHECKPT.GggggV00
          tapeprefix.MICS.HISTW.iiifff.GggggV00
          tapeprefix.MICS.HISTM.iiifff.GggggV00
          tapeprefix.MICS.MBACKUP.tttttt.GggggV00
          tapeprefix.MICS.MBACKUP.CHECKPT.GggggV00

          Note:  In the list above, iiifff represents a
          CA MICS file name and tttttt is a time-span or can
          be SCREENS, TABLES, CAPACITY, CIMANAGE, or ISPTLIB.

MVS system data sets that are updated for CA MICS are:
 
 o  MVS system or user catalog
 
 o  SYS1.PROCLIB or other cataloged procedure data set
 
 Another way to look at the data sets listed above is to
 consider their functions in a running CA MICS system.
 CA MICS data sets can be subdivided by what they contain:
 
 o  Programs in both source and load module form.  With SAS,
    programs are run from their source version.  The load
    libraries are used for CA MICS routines coded in IBM
    assembly language.
 
 o  Data, both online and offline.
 
 o  Documentation in both machine-readable and printable form.
 
 o  Control Information, whether maintained in CA MICS files
    or MVS system files (for example, prefix.MICS.PARMS or
    SYS1.PROCLIB).
 
 o  Test Libraries for testing modifications to CA MICS.
 
 Each of these functions is described in detail in the
 sections below.

 DATA (Online)
 
 The following data sets comprise the CA MICS database.  If
 you must break up any of the following data sets in order to
 provide enough space to hold all of your data, refer to the
 CA MICS Database Split Table (DBSPLIT) section (2.3.3.3.2.4)
 of this guide.  For products that have their own guides,
 refer to the information contained in those guides for
 information specific to the product.
 
 sharedprefix.MICS.ACTAUDIT
 
   A data set used by CA MICS Accounting and Chargeback.
   Refer to the product guide for more information about this
   data set.
 
 sharedprefix.MICS.CAPACITY
 
   A SAS-managed data set containing files used by the CA MICS
   Capacity Planner.  See the product guide for more
   information about this data set.
 
 sharedprefix.MICS.DTF.INDEX
 
   A sequential data set used as a directory of all Comma
   Separated Value (CSV) extract files available to other
   applications.  See the CA MICS Q&R Workstation User Guide
   for more information about this data set.
 
  sharedprefix.MICS.TABLES
 
   A SAS-managed data set containing data for CA MICS files in
   the Accounting and Operations information areas.  These
   files are not organized by timespan; data is entered into
   the files manually or by monthly Accounting and Chargeback
   processing.
 
 sharedprefix.MICS.MWFPDS.DATA
 
   A library used by the CA MICS Information Center Facility
   (MICF) Shared Inquiry Output Catalog feature to save
   printed reports and the SAS log from CA MICS inquiry
   execution for later review.

   A SAS-managed data set used by the CA MICS Information
   Center Facility (MICF) Shared Inquiry Output Catalog
   feature to save color graphics from MICF inquiry execution
   for later review.
 
 prefix.MICS.DETAIL
 
   A SAS-managed data set holding all of the SAS files that
   make up the DETAIL timespan of the CA MICS database.
 
 prefix.MICS.DAYS
 
   A SAS-managed data set holding all of the SAS files that
   make up the DAYS timespan of the CA MICS database.
 
 prefix.MICS.WEEKS
 
   A SAS-managed data set holding all of the SAS files that
   make up the WEEKS timespan of the CA MICS database.

   make up the MONTHS timespan of the CA MICS database.
 
 prefix.MICS.YEARS
 
   A SAS-managed data set holding all of the SAS files that
   make up the YEARS timespan of the CA MICS database.
 
   Summarizing data at the YEARS level is optional.  A small
   YEARS file is kept in the database if you set the YEARS
   timespan to inactive in prefix.MICS.PARMS(SITE) or in
   sharedprefix.MICS.PARMS(CPLXDEF).  The YEARS file contains
   empty cycles (or zero observations) of CA MICS files
   supported at the YEARS timespan.
 
   If you set the YEARS timespan to inactive by setting the
   YEARS timespan flag to No for each file in
   sharedprefix.MICS.GENLIB(cccGENIN) (where ccc is the three-
   letter component identifier), no YEARS files are kept in
   the database.
 
 
 Incremental Update Data Sets
 
 When incremental update is enabled for a Data Integration
 Application, the corresponding INCRccc and DAILY database
 update job steps allocate the data sets listed below.
 Depending on the options selected, these data sets can be one
 of the following:
 
 o  Permanent.
 
 o  Allocated at the beginning of the INCRccc or DAILY
    job step and then deleted after being copied to tape.
 
 o  Allocated at the beginning of the day and then
    deleted when the DAILY job completes successfully.
 
 Note:  ccc is the Data Integration Application Component ID.
 
 prefix.MICS.ccc.IUDETAIL
 
   A SAS-managed data set holding the current day's
   incremental update DETAIL timespan SAS files for the ccc
   product.
 
 prefix.MICS.ccc.IUDAYS
 
   A SAS-managed data set holding the current day's
   incremental update DAYS timespan SAS files for the ccc
   product.
 
 prefix.MICS.ccc.IUCKPT
 
   The ccc product's incremental update checkpoint file is
   used to keep track of the status of incremental update
   processing for this product.  Both the status of the last
   incremental update step to complete and the low and high
   date/time stamps associated with input data processed
   to-date are kept here.  This data set allows CA MICS to
   maintain database integrity during incremental update
   processing.
 
 
 Internal Step Restart Data Sets
 
 When internal step restart is enabled for a Data Integration
 Application, the corresponding DAILY database update job step
 dynamically allocates the following data sets.
 
 These data sets are allocated and cataloged at the beginning
 of the database update job step, and then are deleted at
 normal end of job.  However, if the job step abends, the data
 sets are retained for restart.
 
 Note:  ccc is the Data Integration Application Component ID.
 
 prefix.MICS.cccXCKPT
 
   A SAS-managed data set holding the SAS files that comprise
   the internal step restart checkpoint for this database
   update step.  These include the internal step restart
   control file, the internal step restart data set status
   file, and last completed database update processing phase
   checkpoint files.
 
 prefix.MICS.cccXWORK
 
   The SAS work file for this database update step.
 
 prefix.MICS.cccWRKnn
 
   The multiple work file support data sets for this database
   update step, where nn is the work file number (01 - 99).
 
 
 DATA (Offline)
 
 All of the following data sets are named using the tapeprefix
 to associate them with other data sets specific to one
 CA MICS unit database.
 
 The value of tapeprefix is set by the TAPEPREFIX option of
 prefix.MICS.PARMS(JCLDEF).  You can set tapeprefix equal to
 prefix or it can be different if required to meet your site's
 JCL standards for the naming of data sets stored on tape.
 
 CA MICS packs multiple, related tape data sets onto a single
 tape in order to conserve tape volumes.
 
 In the following data set names:
 
 o  timespan is either DETAIL, DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS, YEARS,
              CAPACITY, CIMANAGE, ISPTLIB, SCREENS, or TABLES
 
 o  gggg      is the generation number
 
 o  nn        is the volume number
 
 o  iiifff    is the name of a CA MICS file (for example, HARCPU)
 
 o  ccc       is the CA MICS product identifier (for example, SMF)
 
 
 tapeprefix.MICS.BACKUP.timespan.GggggVnn
 
   CA MICS backs up the online database as specified in
   prefix.MICS.PARMS(JCLDEF).  Each time a backup is made, a
   new Generation Data Group (GDG) catalog entry is created
   for each of the timespans (DETAIL, DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS,
   YEARS).  The Checkpoint data set associated with the online
   database is also backed up since it must be kept
   synchronized with the database.  For the BACKUP job in the
   PRIMARY unit, complex data sets are also backed up.  These
   include the sharedprefix.MICS CAPACITY, CIMANAGE, ISPTLIB,
   SCREENS, and TABLES data sets.
 
 tapeprefix.MICS.MBACKUP.timespan.GggggVnn
 
   CA MICS takes an additional backup of the online database
   and its checkpoint file each month as an added precaution
   against catastrophic data loss.  These data sets are
   patterned after the normal backup data sets discussed
   above.
 
 tapeprefix.MICS.AUDIT.iiifff.GggggVnn
 
   CA MICS supports the creation of archive audit files.  This
   support allows you to keep information about individual
   units available for far longer periods of time than can be
   managed in the online database.
 
   If ARCHIVE AUDIT YES is specified in
   prefix.MICS.PARMS(JCLDEF), the AUDIT flag is set to Yes in
   sharedprefix.MICS.GENLIB(cccGENIN), and audit archive is
   active for this file in prefix.MICS.PARMS(DBMODEL); then
   each week thereafter, a data set with a name in the form
   shown above is created.  This data set contains a copy of
   the entire week's DETAIL-level data (or DAYS-level data if
   the DETAIL timespan is not supported) for user-related (as
   opposed to system-related) files.
 
 tapeprefix.MICS.HISTW.iiifff.GggggVnn
 
   CA MICS supports the creation of archive history files.
   This support allows you to keep information in the WEEKS
   timespan available for far longer periods of time than can
   be managed in the online database.
 
   If ARCHIVE HISTW YES is specified in
   prefix.MICS.PARMS(JCLDEF), the HISTW flag is set to Yes in
   sharedprefix.MICS.GENLIB(cccGENIN) and weekly history
   archive is active for this file in
   prefix.MICS.PARMS(DBMODEL). Then, each week thereafter, a
   data set with a name in the form shown above is created.
   This data set contains all of the WEEKS data previously
   gathered for each file plus data from the week just ended
   (subject to the cutoff limit specified in
   prefix.MICS.PARMS(DBMODEL)).
 
 tapeprefix.MICS.HISTM.iiifff.GggggVnn
 
   CA MICS supports the creation of archive history files.
   This support allows you to keep information in the MONTHS
   timespan available for far longer periods of time than can
   be managed in the online database.
 
   If ARCHIVE HISTM YES is specified in
   prefix.MICS.PARMS(JCLDEF), the HISTM flag is set to Yes in
   sharedprefix.MICS.GENLIB(cccGENIN), and monthly history
   archive is active for this file in
   prefix.MICS.PARMS(DBMODEL); then each month thereafter, a
   data set with a name in the form shown above is created.
   This data set contains all of the MONTHS data previously
   gathered for each file plus that from the month just ended
   (subject to the cutoff limit specified in
   prefix.MICS.PARMS(DBMODEL)).
 
 tapeprefix.MICS.ccc.IUXTAPE.GggggVnn
 
   The CA MICS incremental update facility supports the option
   to offload incremental update data to tape between INCRccc
   and DAILY job executions.  With this option, data processed
   since the beginning of the day is online only when needed.
   This tape data set stores DETAIL timespan data from
   incremental update processing.
 
 tapeprefix.MICS.ccc.IUDTAPE.GggggVnn
 
   The CA MICS incremental update facility supports the option
   to offload incremental update data to tape between INCRccc
   and DAILY job executions.  With this option, data processed
   since the beginning of the day is online only when needed.
   This tape data set stores DAYS timespan data from
   incremental update processing.
 
 
 DOCUMENTATION
 
 The text for all CA MICS documentation is available in the
 following libraries.  JCL and programs are supplied with
 CA MICS to format this text into printable guides or it can
 be browsed online using the Documentation Access option from
 the CA MICS Workstation Facility.
 
 sharedprefix.MICS.DOC.TEXT
 
   This data set contains all CA MICS documentation that is
   not generated or is not a data element definition.  It is a
   variable blocked, LRECL=137 library containing single
   column text (columns 2-62) and figures (to column 133).
 
   The members of this library have stylized names:
 
   o  the first one or two characters are the CA MICS manual
      identifier
 
   o  the remaining characters denote the chapter and section
      in the guide.
 
   For example, the text you are reading is found in member
   L43A, where
 
   o  L is the (arbitrary) code for the CA MICS Planning,
      Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Guide
 
   o  43A denotes chapter 4, section 3.10.  Prefaces are
      denoted as X0, appendices as XA and so forth.  Section
      numbers above 9 are coded as letters, where A=10, B=11,
      and so forth.
 
   Members used in multiple guides or sections have names
   different from the structure noted above.  For example,
   sample ISPF panel members use the same name as in the
   ISPPLIB library.

sharedprefix.MICS.DIC.TEXT
 
   The text for the Data Dictionary resides in its own data
   set.  The member names in this library are the names of the
   data elements themselves.  Data elements are defined in the
   cccGENIN members of sharedprefix.MICS.GENLIB.  For example,
   the element EXCCODE identified in BASGENIN is documented in
   this data set as member EXCCODE.
 
 sharedprefix.MICS.INC.TEXT
 
   This library holds documentation members that are copied by
   one or more documentation members during printing.  Most
   members in this library are generated by the CA MICS
   Component Generator.
 
 
 CONTROL INFORMATION
 
 Every application system has a large amount of control
 information associated with it.  Some of this information
 serves to guide the operation of the system's own programming
 (such as parameter cards), while a good deal of it exists to
 guide the operation of various operating system facilities
 (such as entries in catalogs, VTOCs, the JCL PROCLIBs, etc.)
 needed by the system.
 
 CA MICS employs some very common control techniques (for example,
 use of GDGs for related data sets) and some innovative ones
 (fpr example, generation of tailored SAS code as a means of
 implementing CA MICS generation parameters).  The following
 data sets are used to control the CA MICS system.
 
 MVS System Catalog
 
   CA MICS employs the MVS catalog mechanism for the standard
   purpose of locating its data sets.  All CA MICS tape data
   sets (see above) are cataloged using the Generation Data
   Group facility.
 
 SYS1.PROCLIB or Other Cataloged Procedure Data Set
 
   CA MICS creates JCL procedures that are used by its
   operational jobs (for example, DAILY) and to allow user inquiry
   into the Database.  These PROCs are placed in the members
   PROCJOBx of prefix.MICS.CNTL.  The PROCJOBx jobs (also in
   prefix.MICS.CNTL) move the JCL procedures to one of your
   cataloged procedure (PROCLIB) data sets (it need not
   actually be SYS1.PROCLIB).
 
 sharedprefix.MICS.CLIST
 
   A library containing CA MICS installation CLISTs and user-
   defined CLISTs for CA MICS ISPF applications startup.
 
 prefix.MICS.CHECKPT.DATA
 
   The Checkpoint data set is used by CA MICS operational jobs
   (example, the DAILY update job) to keep track of the operating
   status of the system.  Information such as the last job
   step to complete and the low and high date/time stamps
   associated with input data processed by each installed
   component is kept here.  This data set allows CA MICS to
   maintain database integrity by refusing to restart an
   operational job in any spot but the correct one.
 
 prefix.MICS.CNTL
 
   A JCL library containing generated batch jobs for a unit
   database.
 
 sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL
 
   A JCL library containing distributed and generated batch
   jobs that apply to the entire CA MICS complex.
 
 sharedprefix.MICS.GENLIB
 
   GENLIB contains control information used principally by the
   CA MICS Component Generator.  The generator input
   statements for each product are located in this library.
   It also contains one member, DBTABLE, that is used by
   CA MICS for cross-checking parameters between unit
   databases.
 
 sharedprefix.MICS.HOLD.PARMS
 
   A library containing a standard set of parameter members
   that are copied by the COPYLIBS and COPYLIBU jobs when a
   creating a new unit database.
 
 sharedprefix.MICS.LOCALMOD.CNTL
 
   Store your local modifications (example, IEBUPDTE modification
   jobs) to CA MICS in this library.  Refer to the System
   Modification Guide before modifying CA MICS programs.
 
 prefix.MICS.MODEL
 
   When the SYSTEMMODEL JCLGEN option cannot be used at your
   site, the DCB attributes of the prefix.MICS.MODEL data set
   are used to create new archive and backup file generation
   data groups.  Since this data set never contains data, it
   frequently becomes the target of DASD cleanup programs and
   can be inadvertently scratched from time to time.
 
 sharedprefix.MICS.PROTOLIB
 
   A library of prototype JCL jobs and JCL procedures (PROCs).
   Users with extraordinary JCL tailoring needs and a good
   knowledge of the workings of the CA MICS JCLGEN process can
   modify members in this library to make changes in generated
   jobs.
 
   Although sharedprefix libraries are shared by all CA MICS
   units maintained at your site, unit-specific changes are
   possible through use of Generation Control Language (GCL).
   Refer to the JCLGEN Parameters for Special Requirements
   section (2.3.3.3) of this guide.
 
 prefix.MICS.PARMS
 
   This library's members contain the numerous parameter
   specifications you must make to tailor CA MICS to your
   site's requirements.  Some of the members contain parameter
   statements and others are exits you must code in SAS.
   Parameter statements do not become effective until a
   generation takes place (for example, JCLGEN or ALLPGEN).  Exits
   become effective immediately.
 
 sharedprefix.MICS.PARMS
 
   This library is similar to prefix.MICS.PARMS in function,
   but is used to perform JCL generation at the CA MICS
   complex level rather than the unit database level.
 
 sharedprefix.MICS.SASFLS
 
   A SAS-managed data set used to ship the contents of the
   TABLES, SCREENS, and MWFSAS.DATA data sets.  During the
   installation of CA MICS, the SASFLS data set is used to
   create and populate these data sets.  This data set is not
   used after the other data sets are created.
 
 sharedprefix.MICS.SCREENS
 
   A SAS-managed data set containing the screen formats for
   the SAS Full Screen Product (FSP).  SAS/FSP is used to
   enter data for CA MICS files that allow manual data entry.
