Re: Job Accounting Package

Subsystems are by application, not user.  Good idea though.

Rob,

Are your different divisions all using the same Domino server, or have you 

partitioned it (Domino partitioning, not LPAR).  If you've Domino 
partitioned it, won't they be running on different subsystems (we're not 
doing Domino partitioning anymore, so I can't remember)?  Maybe what was 
suggested in TAATOOLS can separate out the QNOTES jobs by the subsystem 
they run in?

You're probably right.  But in that case you would need a couple of tools: 


 traditional and Domino.  Still, what would the traditional do with the 
QNOTES stuff?  Charge them to the accounting code associated with QNOTES?

Rob,

Doesn't Notes/Domino have a task that will help you with usage-based
billing?  I'll be darned if I can remember what it's called (probably
something simple like BILLING).

Don't know about the other two.

Mike E.

I am kind of curious to the philosophy of charge back.  Granted, in our
situation you would think we would be ideal for a charge back.  Multiple
independent divisions, (with separate shareholders) all running on one
iSeries.  However, if you penalize one person for using an interactive
screen for looking something up versus a printout that is three days old -
is that conducive to the long term goals?

And how do these charge back methods handle non traditional programs?  I
mean server programs that always run under a particular user profile?  For
example:
- QNOTES for Lotus Notes / Domino
- and the various ones used for odbc and it's kin
- smtp
