10.2.3 General Exits

All products invoke general exits.  They are presented here
to identify the special uses available for the CA MICS Space
Analyzer.

Each exit description includes the name and title, a
description of its purpose, when it is invoked, and whether
it has an interface to CA MICS Accounting and Chargeback.  It
also shows which data elements are available, and any special
considerations.


+---------------+
| U S R S E L   | - File Processing Selection Exit
+---------------+

DESCRIPTION:  USRSEL allows access to each record processed
by any product.  You can use it to alter input data formats
or to select or exclude specific records.

INVOCATION:  This exit gains control after a detail input
record has been read and before the record formats have been
defined.

ACCOUNTING INTERFACE:  No interface is provided.

USES:  You may use this exit to delete records before
processing or to alter the data, such as SMF SYSID.

ELEMENTS AVAILABLE:

ROUTINE - the name of the routine this exit invokes.  To use
this exit in the CA MICS Space Analyzer for the VCA
component, test for:

    ROUTINE  = 'DYVCAFMT'
    SMFRTYPE - the record type of the input record
    ORGSYSID - original SYSID from the SMF record
    ENDTS    - time when the record was written to SMF

To use this exit in the CA MICS Space Analyzer for the HSM
component, test for:

    ROUTINE  = 'DYHSMFMT'
    SMFRTYPE - the record type of the input record
    ORGSYSID - original SYSID from the SMF record
    ENDTS    - time when the record was written to SMF

CODING RESTRICTIONS:  None

SPECIAL NOTES:  Because all products use this exit, the
source code is located in member #BASEXIT of the appropriate
source libraries.


+----------------+
| U S R I H L    | - Examine Input History Log
+----------------+

DESCRIPTION:  USRIHL permits inspection of the DETAIL
timespan checkpoint file immediately following processing of
all input records in the format routine.

INVOCATION:  This exit is referenced in code that passes the
DETAIL timespan checkpoint file. This code reads the
checkpoint file as an integrity check on that file, and in
the process allows the user to inspect the file's contents.

ACCOUNTING INTERFACE:  No interface is provided.

USES:  This exit is normally not of use to the CA MICS Space
Analyzer.

ELEMENTS AVAILABLE:  All elements in the ADMIHL file.

CODING RESTRICTIONS:  None

SPECIAL NOTES:  Because all products use this exit, the
source code is located in member #BASEXIT of the appropriate
source libraries.
