7.1 Environmental Considerations

Before coding product parameters, you need to know about the
MVS environment(s) at your installation.  Before you specify
parameters for the product:

   o  Examine existing user groups, account codes, and job
      control information used on the system.  This
      information helps you code appropriate values for
      account codes.

   o  Review the default options for the parameters to
      determine their applicability to your site.

   o  Review current CA MICS parameter specifications:

      -  Review database unit specifications to determine
         which unit or units should include data from the
         CA MICS Space Collector (VCC).

      -  Review the SYSID parameter to determine whether it
         correlates to the SMF data.  Your site's SYSID
         definition is located in the prefix.MICS.PARMS data
         set associated with each database unit.

      -  Examine existing accounting standards for other
         CA MICS products, if applicable, to ensure that
         CA MICS Accounting and Chargeback aggregates
         information consistently.
