Overview

This chapter discusses DataManager and CA PMA Chargeback utilities, batch processing, and batch reporting with CA Earl.

The first part of the chapter describes the batch jobs (utilities) you must submit to:

Copy a CA PMA Chargeback version
Commit a live CA PMA Chargeback version
Archive (Backup) tables
Restore tables

The second part of this chapter discusses CA PMA Chargeback:

Daily Processing
Summary Processing
Period Processing

The third part of the chapter describes CA PMA Chargeback reporting using CA Earl.

The following table summarizes the programs and program options used for batch processing, as well as associated PROCs and parameter files.

Note: The CAJRJCL library contains the SAMPJCL members referenced above and the CAJRPROC library contains the PROC members.

To run a SAMPJCL member that uses a PROC, customize the PROC and either add the PROC to the USER.PROCLIB or copy the PROC instream.

The online component and each of these batch jobs references a file called CAIKSPAR. This parameter file is discussed on the next page.

Caution It is recommended that before you make any changes to DataManager or CA PMA Chargeback tables using the online component, you make a backup using the Archive/Backup function of the Archive/Restore PROC.
