Chapter 5: Tracing and Accounting

Accounting

The Server Option allows you to record accounting information at the mainframe and at TRS. Mainframe-based accounting is independent of TRS-based accounting. For example, when the TRS accounting facility records packet is received, it is recording the number of packets sent from the mainframe to TRS; when the mainframe accounting facility records packet is received, it is recording the number of packets sent from TRS to the mainframe.

Accounting can be enabled at TRS, at the mainframe, or both. For information on TRS accounting, see the Mainframe Connect DirectConnect for z/OS Option User's Guide for Transaction Router Services. This section describes accounting at the mainframe.

NoteThe mainframe accounting facility uses elapsed time.

Under MVS, a point in time is the number of seconds and milliseconds since 00:00:00 on 1/1/70. Elapsed time is the difference between the ending time and the starting time, that is, the number of seconds and milliseconds that elapse between the start and end points.

The following subsections explain the Server Option functions and the accounting log:
