SIT Acct          (Overview)

DESCRIPTION
"SIT Acct" indicates whether or not Sun MTP generates accounting records. This
value is set in the System Initialization Table (SIT) and controls global 
accounting activity.


VALUES
The values of "SIT Acct" are:

   'Y'   - Generate accounting records (use MCT, PCT, and SNT settings)
   'N'   - DO NOT generate accounting records 


INTERPRETATION
The value of "SIT Acct" ('Y' or 'N') indicates whether global accounting is 
enabled or disabled for the entire Sun MTP system. If "SIT Acct" is 'N', then 
Sun MTP will NOT generate any accounting records.  However, global accounting is 
enabled, Sun MTP applies the accounting options specified in the Monitoring 
Control Table (MCT), Program Control Table (PCT), and Sign-on Table (SNT). 

You can specify accounting options on a per-user and per-transaction basis.
The SNT allows you to configure accounting on a per-user basis. The PCT allows
you to set accounting activity on a per-transaction basis. Sun MTPScan shows the
accounting setting for each transaction in the PCT Screen.

If "SIT Acct" is 'Y', Sun MTP applies the system accounting options specified
in the SNT and the PCT. In either case, the possible values case are yes, no, 
or default. A default value causes Sun MTP to substitute the value specified in 
the MCT. For example, in the PCT, set the ACCT transaction to use default 
accounting. The actual value ('Y' or 'N') comes from the Default TRANID 
Accounting field in the MCT. Default accounting for a user in the SNT works the 
same way with the Default User Accounting field in the MCT. Sun MTPScan shows the
default values for transaction and user accounting recorded in the MCT beneath
"SIT Acct" in the "TX Acct" and "User Acct" fields, respectively.


CONCLUSIONS
The "SIT Acct" value can be used to determine whether users and transactions are
generating accounting records.  Note that you can also control where to send
accounting records for particular users and transactions. Refer to the Sun MTP
Administrator's Guide for details.

If you specify accounting Y(es) for a specific userid and for a particular 
transaction, Sun MTP may generate two accounting records for the same 
transaction. If the specified userid executes the transaction, Sun MTP will 
generate one accounting record generated because of the SNT entry and one 
accounting record because of the PCT entry.
