Definitions
- This invention is related in general to the field of information processing. More particularly, the invention is related to a system and method for deriving financial responsibility identification.
- the information handling systems used for providing computing and data processing to customers includes a method or facility for recording system usage information.
- the usage information is not directly associated with specific jobs or unit of work and their access codes.
- the system usage information has to be correlated to the customer and to the access code associated therewith.
- obtaining an accurate and timely cost allocation was particularly difficult as the information handling systems did not allocate the usage information to specific customer and the customer jobs or unit of work were often run on a plurality of information handling systems located at various remote sites.
- a system for deriving financial responsibility identification includes a load process receiving a set of system attributes and using at least one of the system attributes for looking up in at least one lookup table for an access code and at least one formula value, and further storing the access code and at least one formula value in an access code lookup table.
- the system further includes a derivation process which receives a specification of values for the set of system attributes from a billing record, uses the specification of values for looking up in the at least one lookup table for a derivation formula, uses the derivation formula for looking up in the billing record for an attribute value, and further uses the attribute value for comparing with the formula value stored in the access code lookup table.
- the access code associated with the formula value comparable to the attribute value is the derived access code.
- a method for deriving access codes for billing the customer includes the steps of first receiving a set of system attributes and using at least one of the system attributes for looking up in at least one lookup table for an access code and at least one formula value, and then storing the access code and at least one formula value in an access code lookup table.
- a subsequent step then receives a specification of values for the set of system attributes from a billing record, which is then used for looking up in the at least one lookup table for a derivation formula.
- the derivation formula is then used for looking up in the billing record for an attribute value, which is compared with the formula value stored in the access code lookup table.
- the access code associated with the formula value comparable to the attribute value is the derived access code.

- FIGURES 1-10 The preferred embodiment (s) of the present invention is (are) illustrated in FIGURES 1-10, like reference numerals being used to refer to like and corresponding parts of the various drawings.
- System 10 includes two primary processes or subsystems, a load process or subsystem 12 and a derivation process or subsystem 14.
- a primary function of load process 12 is to consolidate all the data and control parameters for derivation process 14 to derive or determine the access code for each job.
- Load ' process 12 and derivation process 14 are two separate processes which are generally independently run. For example, load process 12 may execute on demand and derivation process 14 may execute as part of a large accounting system 15, which is typically run on a scheduled periodic basis.
- Load process 12 receives a number of inputs, including control tables 16, user-maintained flat files 18, and control parameters 20.
- Control parameters 20 is a set of system attributes or information that a user may use to identify which records in user-maintained flat files 18 are to be used in access code load process 12.
- User-maintained flat files 18 contain derivation search values and associated access codes.
- Control tables 16 includes information about the records in user-maintained flat files 18, including the type of records, and the offset and length of the fields in each record.
- Control tables 16, control parameters 20, and user-maintained flat files 1 8 are generally entered by users via a user interface (not shown) , and may be accessed and modified in this manner.
- Load process 12 also receives data stored in two tables, main table 22 and formula table 24, in order to populate two other tables, value mask table 26 and value range table 28.
- Tables 22-28 may be stored and maintained in relational databases, such as DB2. Data from user- maintained flat files 18 are used to populate value range and value mask tables 28 and 26, which are subsequently used in derivation process 14.
- Derivation process 14 receives data extracted from interim journal tables 30, main table 22, formula table 24, value mask table 26, and value range table 28 as input to derive the proper access code for each job or unit of work. Journal tables 32 updated with the derived access code are then provided as output. Journal tables 32 updated with the proper access codes are then used for billing and charge-back by accounting system 15.
- FIGURE 2 a more detailed block diagram of load process 12 is shown with exemplary inputs.
- ADRKEY - contains a system assigned value used for associating a row in main table 22 with a row containing corresponding values in value mask and/or range tables 26 and 28.
- DERVTYPE- contains a value used to associate a row in main table 22 to row in formula table 24.
- LSYSID logical system identifier associated with the billing activity.
- ORDERNO - a number specifying a priority in which the derivation formula ⁇ identifier (DERVFORM) is applied.
- SOFTWARE- specifies the software that generated the interim journal tables for billing purposes.
- SUBSYS - subsystem identifier used to further identify the system consuming the resources.
- Tn Formula Table 24 ACCFORM - contains the formula used to obtain the access code for loading value mask and range tables 26 and 28.
- DERVFORM- contains the formula used to identify the billing record field(s) in interim journal tables 30 for its value then used to compare with the value range (VALUELO and VALUEHI) and/or value mask (MASK) values.
- DERVTYPE- contains a value used to associate a row in formula table 24 to row(s) main table 22.
- RECNAME - contains the name of the record for which values for a particular DERVTYPE can be loaded by load process 12 in batch mode.
- VALUEl - contains the formula used to obtain the first of two values for use in load process 12, and can be the MASK value for value mask table 26 or the VALUELO value in value range table 28.
- VALUE2 - contains the formula used to obtain the second of two values for use in load process 12, which is VALUEHI in value range table
- ACCESS - contains the access code linking resource usage to a business unit for billing or charge-back purposes.
- ADRKEY - contains a system assigned value used for associating a row in main table 22 with a row containing corresponding values in value mask and range tables 26 and 28.
- MASK - contains the value to match with exactly or partially during derivation process 14 to derive the access code.
- ACCESS - contains the access code linking resource usage to a business unit for billing or charge-back purposes.
- ADRKEY - contains a system assigned value used for associating a row in main table 22 with a row containing corresponding values in value mask and range table 28.
- Control parameters 20 are received as an input by load process 12 to identify which user-maintained flat file(s) 18 to use to load derivation information.
- the first row of formula table 24 has 'DSNAUTH' as the DERVTYPE. That same row also has 'ADV as the RECNAME (record name) , ⁇ ADWALOl' as VALUE1, 'ADWAL02 ' as VALUE2, and 'ADVACCSS' as ACCFORM (access code formula) .
- the ACCFORM value 'ADVACCSS' in formula table 24 is then used to find a match in control tables record 16 having ADV RECNAMEs.
- ADVACCSS (6,4)
- ADVACCSS (6,4)
- ADRKEY Hill
- At offset 4 in user-maintained flat file 18 DSNAUTH record is the access code 'BRRE95' .
- Formula table 24 also includes VALUE1 and VALUE2, which have the values 'ADWALOl* and 'ADWAL02', respectively.
- the value 'BRRE95' is also obtained from the same record using data length 6 and offset 12 information from control tables 16. Since only VALUEl has a value, the formula is for a value mask, directing the selected access code 'BRRE95' and VALUEl 'BSSJJE' to be entered in value mask table 26 in columns ACCESS and MASK, respectively.
- value range and mask tables 28 and 26 are populated during load process 12 according to the control parameter input. These tables, along with main and formula tables 22 and 24, are used in derivation process 14 to derive the access codes.
- FIGURE 3 shows a top-level flowchart of an embodiment of derivation process 14
- FIGURE 1 all or selected system attributes for a job or unit of work are extracted from interim journal tables 30 and passed to derivation process 14, as shown in block 100.
- An iterative lookup process is performed to find an exact match or a partial match of the passed system attributes in row entries of main table 22 to yield an associated accesj code, as shown in block 102. If a match is not found (a ⁇ determined in block 104) , and if there are no more tables to be searched, (as determined in block 106) then a blank access code is returned and a good return code variable is set to indicate that no valid access code is found. However, if an exact or partial match is found in block 104, then the associated access code is validated, as shown in block 110.
- the perform lookup process 102 is an iterative process that attempts to first find an exact match; if unsuccessful, it then proceeds with more generic and less specific values for the system attributes. Details of the lookup process is described in FIGURES 4-10. Referring first to FIGURE 4, block 200, a lookup is first performed with system attributes LSYSID, SOFTWARE, and SUBSYS, each with specific values as passed from interim journal tables 30 or billing records (FIGURE 1) .
- an access code value lookup is performed in block 204. Multiple records may have the same attribute values but are prioritized by the ORDERNO parameter (FIGURE 2) . Details of this process are shown in FIGURE 10 and described below. If an access code is found (block 206), then execution returns to block 110 (FIGURE 3) to validate the derived access code. If no access code is found, then subsequent records with matching attributes are also processed in a similar manner until none are left, as shown in block 208. When lookup using specific values of LSYSID, SOFTWARE, and SUBSYS does not produce a valid access code, less specific search attributes are used, as shown in FIGURES 5-9.
- FIGURE 5 shows a search with specific values for LSYSID and SOFTWARE paired with any value of SUBSYS.
- a match is produced with any record that has LSYSID and SOFTWARE matching the specified values thereof regardless of what value it has for SUBSYS (as shown in block 210) .
- SUBSYS is allowed to be a wild card or "don't care”. The process is much the same as shown in FIGURE 4. Any found record is used to look up the access code, using priority established by ORDERNO, until all records with a match are processed, as shown in blocks 212-218.
- a further search iteration shown in FIGURE 8 performs lookup for records with a specific value for SOFTWARE and any value for LSYSID and SUBSYS, as shown in block 240. All records found with this search criteria are processed in blocks 242-248.
- a lookup using wild cards or don't cares for all three attributes is performed. Found records are processed by looking up the associated access code(s) as shown in blocks 252-258. If no valid access codes are found using the found records, then a bad return code is set and returned, as shown in blocks 260 and 262.
- the lookup process is an iterative process that begins with the most specific search criteria to the least specific search criteria. Of those records that matched the search criteria, a priority established by ORDERNO identifies an order in which these records should be looked at to derive the access code.
- FIGURE 10 describes the process flow for looking up the access code (lookup value, block 270) using formula table 24, value mask table 26, and value range table 28 (FIGURE 2) . Using the associated value for DERVTYPE in the main table record to lookup a specific row in formula table 24, field name(s) specified by DERVFORM (derivation formula) associated with that DERVTYPE is identified, as shown in block 272.
- main table 22 further include a column ORDERNO, which is used to establish a priority among DERVFORMS residing in rows with the same LSYSID, SOFTWARE, and SUBSYS values, so that the DERVTYPE of row with the lowest ORDERNO is used first to identify the field in the billing records in interim journal tables 30.
- ORDERNO a column ORDERNO
- value(s) for the specified field(s) in interim journal tables 30 are read, as shown in block 274.
- DERVFORM may reference constant values or the following exemplary journal table columns:
- VOLSER volume serial number
- the field values are compared with MASK in value mask table 26 and/or VALUELO and VALUEHI values in value range table 28.
- the MASK value in value mask table 26 may contain wild characters so that only a partial match is required.
- the match with VALUELO and VALUEHI in value range table 28 requires the field value to be within the range specified by VALUELO and VALUEHI.
- the access code contained in the row having the matching value range and/or value mask is then returned as the access code to use for the current billing record, as shown in block 278.
- a method for deriving access codes for billing customers comprises the steps of receiving a set of system attributes and using at least one of the system attributes for looking up in at least one lookup table for an access code and at least one formula value, storing the access code and at least one formula value in an access code lookup table, receiving a specification of values for the set of system attributes from a billing record, using the specification of values for looking up in the at 3 * ?ast one lookup table for a derivation formula, .
- the step of _ king up in a control table may further include the step of looking up at least one value mask. Further, the step of looking up in a control table may further include the step of looking up at least one value mask containing a wild character string. The step of looking up in a control table may further include the step of looking up two values indicative of a value range.
- the step of receiving the set of system attributes may further include the step of receiving a logical system identifier, a subsystem identifier, and an identification of a software which generated the billing records.
- the method may further comprise the step of producing a billing record with the generated access code inserted therein.
