The CA MICS Space Analyzer (VCA) processes detailed
information about a variety of structures in MVS DASD
subsystems:
o data set information
o catalog entry information
o volume-level statistics
o DFHSM migrated data sets
o DFHSM backup versions
o statistics on DFHSM-managed media
It organizes this information into a several files according
to the data model defined by the CA MICS database.
The information gathered is essentially an inventory of the
DASD subsystem at a point in time. While you can schedule
this inventory as frequently as needed, most sites establish
a daily inventory to feed CA MICS production databases.
The CA MICS Space Analyzer is focused on an inventory of
space and total capacity without regard for the usage of data
sets. That is, static data sets (those that have not been
OPENed) that occupy space are measured according to the same
rules as frequently accessed data sets. The focal point of
this product is the occupancy of space on primary DASD or
DFHSM-controlled media over a period of time.
