<h1 class="topictitle1">Account for a distributed relational database</h1>
<div><p>You need to be able to account and charge for the use of distributed
data.</p>
<div class="section"><p>Consider the following items: </p>
<ul><li>Accounting for the use of distributed data involves the use of resources
in one or more remote servers, the use of resources on the local server, and
the use of network resources that connect the servers.</li>
<li>Accounting information is accumulated by each server independently. Network
accounting information is accumulated independent of the data accumulated
by the servers.</li>
<li>The time zones of various servers might have to be taken into account
when trying to correlate accounting information. Each server clock might not
be synchronized with the remote server clock.</li>
<li>Differences might exist between each server's permitted accounting codes
(numbers). For example, the <span class="keyword">iSeries™ server</span> restricts
accounting codes to a maximum of 15 characters.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>The following functions are available to account for the use of
distributed data: </p>
<ul><li><span class="keyword">iSeries server</span> job accounting
journal. The <span class="keyword">iSeries server</span> writes
job accounting information into the job accounting journal for each distributed
relational database application. The <span class="cmdname">Display Journal (DSPJRN)</span> command
can be used to write the accumulated journal entries into a database file.
Then, either a user-written program or query functions can be used to analyze
the accounting data. </li>
<li>NetView<sup>®</sup> accounting
data. The NetView licensed
program can be used to record accounting data about the use of network resources.</li>
