I notice in the type 01 accounting records that there are all zeros in the Connect Time and the Milliseconds of CPU time buckets for the VMBATnn ids (IBM's batch facility). Are these machines treated differently by the accounting routines? Without writing an exit routine, is there any way to tell if these machines are being used (other than logging them off to see if anybody screams - screaming usually occurs at 2 am my time)? I cannot conceive of a scenario where it would be proper to charge all time to the submitters of jobs. For example, the connect time before the first job, between jobs, and following the last job should not be charged to any machine other than the batch worker machine. However, the connect time is uniformly 0 in 14,430 records.
This is on a z/VM 5.2 system, if that makes any difference. Regards, Richard Schuh
