5. FILES


The CA MICS Space Analyzer divides its data logically into
the VTOC/Catalog Activity Information Area (VCA), the DFHSM
Inventory Primary Information Area (HSM), and the DFHSM
Inventory Backup Information Area (HSB).  Primary DASD volume
and data set information (both VSAM and non-VSAM) comprises
the VTOC/Catalog Activity Information Area data files.  HSM
Level 1 and Level 2 migration information is reflected in the
DFHSM Inventory Primary Information Area files.  Finally,
Hierarchical Storage Backup activity is in the DFHSM
Inventory Backup Information Area data files.  Figure 5-1
lists the product's files and the timespans that are
activated for each file.

The table below identifies the individual database files and
categorizes them by the information area to which they
belong.  For each file in an information area the following
data is provided:

XDWMYT - This entry defines the timespans in which the file
         is supported.  A nonblank indicates that the file is
         supported.  A period (.) indicates that the file is
         not supported.  The timespans indicated by XDWMYT
         are as follows:

            X - DETAIL
            D - DAYS
            W - WEEKS
            M - MONTHS
            Y - YEARS
            T - TABLES AREA

File - The name use to access this file.

File Name - The descriptive label for the file.

Note:  The timespans in which a file is supported are
       defined by each installation when CA MICS is
       installed.  Therefore, this table has been generated
       as part of the installation process to accurately
       reflect the CA MICS system at your installation.
