Hi Terry
If you are sending this to the capacity group. Maybe they are interested in
specific times like prime shift and off shift. You need to find out from
them what times they are interested in. Then have a virtual machine issue CP
ACNT ALL at the correct times. DISKACNT will write the records to the file
or append the records to the file that already exists with a date stamp of
the day the records are collected. You can issue many CP ACNT ALL during the
day. I make sure that I issue one just around midnight. I use that same
virtual machine to link to the DISKACNT 191 disk sometime after midnight and
copy the previous days file and then FTP it to whoever is asking. You may
want to invest time in creating an exec that would ftp any file that you
specify to the capacity group. I am sure that sometime a file will get lost.
I log everything and can prove that I send it out every day (I have the ftp
messages to prove it got to the other side) but every now and then it is
missing on the other side and I have to resend it again.

I have a scheduler service machine issue CP ACNT ALL CLOSE at 23:59:55
every day. It also XAUTOLOGs a service machine at 00:02:00 every day
which intelligently selects certain ACCOUNT files from the DISKACNT 191
disk and uses FTP to send them to z/OS.

Hi
I am working on process to get the daily accounting records that are on
the 'A' disk of the DISKACNT user and FTP them to my capacity folks on
z/OS.
I am trying to understand how the process works in terms of when the
accounting records are actually written to DISKACNT each day and where
does the ACNT command come in to play. In order to get the whole days
accounting records would I do something like issue the ACNT ALL command
at lets say 11:45pm. After that since DISKACNT is running DISCONNECTED
how would I invoke my exec that is going to process the accounting file
from DISKACNT and send it to z/OS?
I have the exec written including the FTP part and it works fine. I just
need to understand the best way to process it given the above.
Thank You,
