4.10.4.2 Specifying Date and Time Range Selection

 In normal processing, CA MICS scans the CA SMF Director
 duplicate split indices and merges this information with the
 Input History Log file (ADMIHL).  The ADMIHL file contains
 the high and low timestamps of data processed by each
 component for each Original System Id (ORGSYSID).  Thus,
 only data that has not previously been processed is
 presented to CA MICS.
 
 In some situations where the ADMIHL file does not exist,
 everything in the duplicate split index will be presented to
 CA MICS for processing.  An example would be during the first
 execution of a DAILY job for a new unit.
 
 To restrict the data that will be presented to CA MICS, you
 can use any of the following options.  Option 2 is mutually
 exclusive with options 3 and 4 because option 2 takes
 precedence over options 3 and 4 during processing.  Either
 option 3 or option 4 may be used but not both.
 
 1) Remove or comment the SMFDRCTR DD statement from the JCL
    and manually add the desired data sets to the INPUTSMF DD
    statement.
 
 2) Alternatively, you can use the SMFD_SELECT statement in
    the parameter overrides (specified in the PARMOVRD DD
    statement) to restrict data sets selected from the CA SMF
    Director duplicate split index to a specific date and time
    range.  This method is desirable when you have only one
    jobstep (component) in which you need to modify the date
    and time range selection criterion.
 
    For additional information on Parameter Override, see
    section 2.3.6 of the PIOM guide.
 
 3) Use the SELECT option of MWF Operational Status and
    Tracking to restrict the date and time range of data to be
    processed.  The SELECT option is used instead of the
    previous two options.
 
    Use the Operational Status and Tracking FORCE command to
    access the Select option.  See the online tutorials, and
    in this guide, the Operational Status and Tracking section
    (4.3.4) and the Using the Select Option for Input Data
    section (4.3.7.4) for more information.
 
 4) Use the SELECT statement in prefix.MICS.PARMS(EXECDEF) to
    restrict the date and time range of data to be processed.
    The SELECT statement method is used instead of the
    previous two options.
 
    The SELECT statement selection method is most useful when
    you have multiple components for which you wish to perform
    date and time range selection as it will be applied to
    every component (jobstep) in the unit.
 
    For additional information on specifying the SELECT
    statement in prefix.MICS.PARMS(EXECDEF), see section A.3
    of this guide.
 
    Note:  The SELECT statement in prefix.MICS.PARMS(EXECDEF)
    will retain the specified changes after the update job
    completes.  Therefore, be sure you remove the SELECT
    before you execute the next update process.
