10.1 Available User Exits

 
 There are two types of user exits that can be used to modify
 CA MICS logic:  general exits, which apply to all the
 installed products, and product exits, which apply only to
 the product for which they are provided.
 
 General exits allow user routines to be used for all products
 that process the raw SMF data.  General exits are briefly
 described in this guide, and a more detailed description can
 be found in Chapter 4 of the CA MICS System Modification
 Guide.
 
 Product exits are classified according to their purpose and
 include input, work file, output, parameter-related, and
 accounting exits.
 
 o  Input exits are invoked as the raw input records are read.
    Output exits are invoked just before CA MICS writes an
    observation to the CA MICS database.
 
 o  The CA MICS Web Analyzer provides the general input exit
    _USRSEL, which may be used to select or exclude data
    meeting special site-defined criteria, to add data
    elements, or to modify record fields as they are read.  In
    addition, the general exit, _USRIHL, is provided at the
    end of input processing to permit examination of the
    CA MICS Input History Log SAS file so that the user can
    terminate the DAILY run if critical data is missing.
 
 o  An output exit routine is provided for each file and may
    be used to selectively block the writing of specified
    records, alter data elements in the records, or produce
    additional records for the target file or a user-defined
    file.
 
 o  Parameter-related exits are also user exits, but are
    defined as part of the standard CA MICS installation
    process.  They are normally associated with other
    parameters or options.  For example, the Account Code
    Derivation Routine is a user exit routine for completing
    values for account codes that were defined in a separate
    but related member of prefix.MICS.PARMS, WEBACRT, the
    Account Code Definition parameter member.  These exits are
    identified in both this chapter and in Chapter 7.
 
 o  Accounting exits are described in the CA MICS Accounting
    and Chargeback User Guide.
