I know some of the process ...
Define logical ACCOUNTNG
$SET ACC/NEW - pick up new common file.
However its the process for forcing each node in the cluster to use the same file after a single node has issued the $SET ACC/NEW to rollover the file. This node will use the new file ..but other nodes will use the old version.
Any contributions welcome.
Thanks

Solutionyou are already sooo close!
Just issue $SET ACC/NEW from each node (or by SYSMAN) will do the trick.
However, we do it a little differently.
We also have the common environment.
But our logical ACCOUNTNG (do not forget /EXEC !) is to
Every day at 3 seconds after midnight we do SET ACCO/NEW on each node, and rename the old files from .DAT to .
Noe we still have all acco info available on a per node/per day basis.
And... we have a logical ACCNT as
For normal use, ACCO ACCNT
FWIW.
Proost.
Have one on me.

Re: Common Accountng File
Example of what I want and end up with :-(
Node ALPHA1 and ALPHA2
Disk dsa1: - Mounted on both nodes
On both nodes (ALPHA1 and ALPHA2)
$DEF/SYS/EXEC ACCOUNTG DSA1:[TEST]COMMON_ACC.DAT
On ALPHA1
$Set acc/new
Now uses DSA1:[TEST]COMMON_ACC.DAT;1
Version 1
On ALPHA2
$Set acc/new
Now uses DSA1:[TEST]COMMON_ACC.DAT;2
Version 2
What I would like is both using one version of file.

Re: Common Accountng File
Why you want common accounting file?
Put the node specific accounting file in commom disk/directory (as Jan suggested) and I guess that will sever the purpose of moving the file off system disk.

Re: Common Accountng File
Of course I could have two copies of accounting file in common area (One per node) and have one command file that runs once , but reads from both files.
I'm sure several years ago ..in my Digital days , based in London/Newbury/Reading , we had a shared accountng.dat file on our ALL-IN-1 clusters. Distant memory now. Left Compaq 5 years ago ...in fact to the day almost.

Re: Common Accountng File
Accounting utility accepts multiple input files, so that you can use multiple accounting files to generate a single report.
for exam
$ACCOUN ACCOUNTING_NODEA.DAT,ACCOUNTING_NODEB.DAT
HTH,
Thanks & regards,

Re: Common Accountng File
... which is exactly what we do!
And also on a daily basis, and rather extensive.
(one of our applics does the tracing by writing USER records to the accountng file for every query and avery mutation, which are mined for legal reporting).
Only defference: we us a single logical name that wildcards the multiple files.
I never tried a single multinode accountng file; could it be you remember the single ACCO command, but might it have had a multifile input specification?
Proost.
Have one on me.

Re: Common Accountng File
I don't think this will work. It looks like JOB_CONTROL opens the ACCOUNTNG.DAT file:
FAC: 01 PUT
SHR: 42 SHRGET,UPI
which would probably NOT allow multiple shared writers.
If you don't want to change your existing procedure and not add multiple accounting file names, you may be able to append the files and use the resulting file for your reports.

Re: Common Accountng File
Obviously!
Accounting is done on a node-by-node basis. It contains clues on usage of THAT node. No way to tamper the data (Don't trust system managers - and system programmers even less :D)
SET ACC/NEW will create a new file FOR THAT NODE, so you'll have to change your algorithm, using a file per node (can be on a common disk) and name each file in the ACC command analyzing them into one output file.
