9.2 Daily Processing Flow for VCA (DAY090)

This section describes the daily processing flow for the VCA
and HFS Information Area and its relation to the locations of
the VCA user exit routines.  For specific questions not
discussed in this document, see the source code referenced by
the program module.

The CA MICS VCA update process (the DAY090 step of the DAILY
update job) is divided into seven distinct processing phases.
During several of the phases (phases 3, 4, 5 and 6), data
screening performed by the input routine may produce reports
to the MICSLOG describing unusual or exceptional conditions
encountered.  The following sections describe the MICSLOG
reports and the general logic flow in each of the phases, as
well as the location of standard user routines or user exits.

    1 - MICSLOG Reporting
    2 - Phase 1 - Input Raw VCC and/or HFS SMF Data
    3 - Phase 2 - Sorts
    4 - Phase 3 - Match VOA to Catalog
    5 - Phase 4 - Merge Catalog Information
    6 - Phase 5 - Summarize VSAM Information into VOA
    7 - Phase 6 - Match VOA to DAA
    8 - HFS     - Sort, match, and merge HFS files
    9 - Phase 7 - Summarization and Aging
