Re: cost acctg on AS400/who's using the AS400?

This argument here is precisely why we do not use job accounting here.

Would they consider an allocation based upon mutual agreement of value
received instead of by disk/time/users?  It would worry me that department
managers would eventually cut their costs by replacing their use of the
iSeries with spreadsheets, demanding that IT provide all data once a night
in a excel spreadsheet?

I need to determine who's using our AS400 resources (disk/time/users) by

user/department so that we can come up with some kind of departmental

allocation of IT costs.

 

I can put my users in groups to determine how many users on on the system 
by

department but otherwise?

 

Management wants this in TWO hours.  Gotta love that.
