The CA MICS System Reliability Analyzer processes the error and environmental records generated by system hardware and software and creates files in the CA MICS Database. These records are produced by the operating systems whenever an error or important event occurs. Examples of these errors are IPL of the operating system, an I/O error accessing a DASD volume or a machine check on a processor. These error records are written to the system error recording data set (ERDS). These data sets are called by different names under various operating systems. In MVS the ERDS is called SYS1.LOGREC; in VM, it is not a data set but the error recording area; in the VSE systems, its symbolic name is LOGREC. The CA MICS System Reliability Analyzer supports the ERDS data from the MVS/SP, MVS/XA, MVS/ESA, OS/390, VM/SP, VM/XA, VM/ESA and VSE operating systems. Details of the records used by this CA MICS product are discussed later in this chapter.
