Setting Up Service Parameters

To set up service parameters, use the Duration Option (EG_DURATION_OPTS), Date Round Option (EG_DATE_ROUNDING), Date Conversion Option (EG_DATE_CONVERSION), Application Trace (EG_APPLICATN_TRACE), and Flexible Service DB Alias (EG_DB_ALIAS) components.

The Flexible Service EG menu contains pages that enable you to define basic parameters such as how a date should be rounded, how a raw date should be converted to a decimal date, and how to calculate a year. In addition, you can:

• Configure the system to use a certain number of days per month or to use the calendar month.

• Define the database alias (EVENT_DT) to define the reference to job history.

• Activate the application trace, which traces the calculation during a calculation run.
