5.16 SAS Configuration Options Used by CA MICS

Your sharedprefix.MICS.PARMS library contains SAS
 configuration members that are used to set necessary and
 optimal SAS system options for the operation of CA MICS in
 several scenarios.
 
 The following are the configuration members.  A brief
 description for each member is also given.
 
   ICFBATCH - options for MICF batch execution
   ICFDMS   - options for MSAS
   MABATCH  - options for batch PROCS except MICSRPTS
   MATSO    - options for MICF foreground executions, and MICF
              Production and User Reporting job streams
   MQRBATCH - options for the Q&R Mainframe Server
 
 Since SAS system options vary depending on the version of SAS
 being used, CA MICS supplies copies of these members that are
 version specific.  The names of these version-specific
 members are as follows:
 
   ICFBTCHx
   ICFDMSx
   MABATCHx
   MATSOx
   MQRBTCHx
 
 where x is 9 for SAS version 9.
 
 During the construction of a new CA MICS complex, the
 appropriate version-specific members are copied to the
 configuration members. For example, if you are using SAS
 version 9, the PARMS member MABATCH9 is copied to member
 MABATCH.
 
 Comments are provided in these members to indicate which
 options are required for CA MICS operation and which may be
 changed.  Note that CA MICS has been certified to run only
 with the distributed options and mandatory settings.
 
 To add or change SAS configuration options, modifications
 should be made to the version-specific members so that the
 modifications will not be backed out by future maintenance.
 Then a run of the job in sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL(MICSLS1) will
 copy the correct version-specific members to the
 configuration members.
 
 User modifications should be documented in the same manner as
 your other local modifications in
 sharedprefix.MICS.LOCALMOD.CNTL.  This will serve as a record
 of your local modifications to the delivered CA MICS values.
 
 Execute the following steps when user modifications are done
 to one of these members:
 
 __  1. Make your change to the version-specific member
        that corresponds to the version of SAS being used
        at your installation.
 
 ___ 2. Make the same change to any higher SAS version
        version-specific members that might be present in
        sharedprefix.MICS.PARMS.
 
 ___ 3. Edit and submit the job that is contained in
        sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL(MICSLS1) to activate the
        appropriate members for the SAS version you are using.
