[SYS21] Re: Determining number of licenses used.

CLNUSRALC does not remove any records and I never claimed it did...  It simply
updates the time stamp for those records marked with a "Time Request Finished"
of 999999 with the current time if that job is no longer active in the system...
Then it updates the ICF03PHY records with the current summary count of active
records (those records still marked with a "Time Request Finished" of 999999)...

The job that actually cleans out the old records in ICF04PHY is the CFDAYEND
job...  We run that every night after we end QINTER and bring down all of the
background subsystems and run AMDAYEND (which archives the records in APG02PHY
into APG02ARC...)...  All done in Machine Manager...

Works like a charm...

Just out of curiosity, how many records do you have in your IPGCFF4/ICF04PHY and
IPGAMF4/APG02PHY files...?
I have 59 in IPGCFF4/ICF04PHY and 143 in IPGAMF4/APG02PHY...

Hope that clears up any confusion...
Cheers

FYI...We have never cleared down ICF04PHY, but just tried it by running
CLNUSRALC. The command did not remove any records from ICF04PHY, but it did
make a difference to ICF03PHY.

Use the CLNUSRALC command to clean up the allocated licenses/seats in
ICF04PHY...  We run this every hour on the hour...

You can think of ICF03PHY as the summary record and ICF04PHY as the detail
records...
ICF03PHY holds the summarized count of active seats consumed by detail
records
in ICF04PHY...

The problem is that the ICF04PHY records don't always get marked as finished
if
they end abnormally...  CLNUSRALC verifies those allocations much the same
way
as XA705 does for APG02PHY, which controls task exclusivity...

There is a date/time stamp for start and finish...  The time request
finished
field is defaulted to 999999 when the request record is written...
A request record is written whenever an action requesting a license is
initiated...

Whenever a new license is needed it first checks ICF03PHY to see if the
limit is
hit...  I don't think it even looks at ICF04PHY but I could be wrong...
All I know is that if you check the summary record before and after running
CLNUSRALC you will probably see a difference...  Especially if you don't run
it
regularly...

Good luck...
