No, this is not monetary accounting with debits, credits, ledgers and journals. We're going to discuss iSeries system resource accounting. System resource accounting is important to many shops whose IS budget and cost of iSeries ownership must be allocated to individual users and/or departments. Luckily, the iSeries is set up to provide you with the information to do just that.

Usage of the system by different users
A user asked, "I need to collect information of the usage of the system by different users in order to bill them according to the time a user has been logged in to the system. Is there anyway I can achieve it through any of the IBM iSeries tools, or are there any other tools available?" Site expert Ken Graap had some advice.
Additional techniques for finding system information
Here are some suggestions for determining the amount of working memory as well as the total and free DASD on a system.
Search for the guilty party
Sometimes it is nice to be able to backtrack and see who did what and when they did it. Here's an easy way to implement a tracking system on an OS/400 database -- without any significant programming on your part. This technique takes advantage of the OS/400 database audit journal features.
Quick-start problem handling: Solve OS, other software problems on your own
SupportLine -- or whatever IBM calls its phone-based technical
support service these days -- is great once you get through AND if
you reach a knowledgeable staffer. However, what you may not know
is that you have some of the same tools IBM reps have to try to
find a fix to your problem. Doing it yourself can save you
considerable time and get you a fix fast. So before you pick up the
phone to ask IBM for help, try these seven steps to solve IBM
software problems.
