7.1.1 TLM Component Environmental Considerations

In preparation for defining TLM component complex and unit
level parameters, do the following:

o Review the tape library management products used at your
  site and determine those that will provide input for this
  component.

o Review database unit specifications to determine which unit
  or units should process data from the Tape Management
  Catalog Collector (TMCC).

o Refer to Appendix C to install the Tape Management Catalog
  Collector (TMCC).  The output file of the TMCC will be
  specified as the input in prefix.MICS.PARMS(INPUTTLM).

o Review the prefix.MICS.PARMS(SYSID) member to ensure it
  contains an entry representing the tape library scanned by
  each TMCC job.  Refer to Appendix C, Tape Management
  Catalog Collector (TMCC), for more information about SYSID
  specification in the setup of the TMCC collector.

o Before running the component generation job,
  sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL(TLMCGEN), edit
  sharedprefix.MICS.GENLIB(TLMGENIN) and update the
  following statements to reflect the virtual tape
  system(s) providing input to the component:

  OPTION <keywords>

  This statement customizes the database file content to
  match the tape library system(s) processed.

  Reference: Section 7.1.2.3

o Examine existing accounting standards for other CA MICS
  components, if applicable, to ensure that the CA MICS
  Accounting and Chargeback Option aggregates information
  consistently.
