SMF CPU Time in Job Level Files
The MICS Batch and Operations Analyzer builds the job level files from the step and interval records discussed in the previous section.

Unlike the step and interval level files, each of which contains records for a specific address space type, the job level files can contain observations for all address space types. The Job Exec Type (Batch TSO STC APPC OE SA) (JOBTYPE) data element identifies the address space type of each observation.
The following are the
MICS
job level files:- BATJOB - Batch User Job Activity File
- BAT_JS - Batch User Job Suspend File
The BATJOB file is a summarized view of an address space execution built from all step, interval, and JES records processed by
MICS
. For long running jobs whose execution spans multiple MICS
daily update runs, the BAT_JS file represents job-to-date activity.By default, the BATJOB file only contains observations for batch address spaces. Using prefix.MICS.PARMS(SMFOPS) keywords, however, you can instruct
MICS
to roll up any of the address space interval and step records for inclusion in the BATJOB file. Refer to the SMFOPS - SMF Processing Options section for SMFOPS keywords that control the contents of the BATJOB file.Because the BATJOB file is built from the
MICS
step and interval level files, it contains the identical CPU time measurements described in the previous section. The only difference is that the data element names begin with the characters "JOB" instead of "PGM".Refer to the previous section for the list of STANDALONE, SUBSET, and COMPUTED CPU time elements available in the
MICS
job level address space files. Remember that the element names are identical, except for the prefix of "JOB" instead of "PGM."
