Reporting on Disk Use Information

To include disk use information in your Accounting Chargeback report

1. Create a disk use file for the disks on which you wish to report by using the following command:

   ANALYZE/DISK_STRUCTURE/USAGE=[output-file-spec] diskname
   

   For example:

   $ ANALYZE/DISK_STRUCTURE/USAGE=USER_DISK.DAT USER
   

   If no file specification is given, the default output file name of USAGE.DAT is used.

2. Append the disk use files into one file using the commands shown in the following example:

   $ APPEND DEVD.DAT,USER1.DAT,SYS_2.DAT DISKUSE.DAT
   

   For your convenience, the Accounting Chargeback software provides a command procedure to run and append the files for all the disks on the system:

   $ @PSAC$EXAMPLES:PSAC$DISK_USAGE.COM
   

3. Specify values in the price file for the DISKBLOCK_PRICE keyword for the disks on which you wish to report. The following is an example:

   DEVD:DISKBLOCK_PRICE = 0.03000
   USER1:DISKBLOCK_PRICE = 0.02500
   SYS_2:DISKBLOCK_PRICE = 0.03500
   

4. Invoke the ADVISE CHARGE_BACK REPORT command and specify the following items:
   • Accounting file name
   • Price file name
   • Disk use file
   • At least one of the following keywords for the /DETAILS qualifier:

     GRAND

     ACCOUNTS

     USERS

     UICS

   The following is an example of a command to create a disk use report:

   $ ADVISE CHARGE_BACK REPORT/DETAILS=(USERS,UICS,ACCOUNTS) ACCOUNT.DAT -
   _$ CHARGE.DAT DISKUSE.DAT
