System Description

The Title Code System has two primary purposes: serving as the official repository of policies related to job classifications at the University, and processing range adjustments for staff, shift differential and academic rates. The system includes title codes for both academic and non-academic titles. These two groups of title codes are handled quite differently as far as the data that is carried, and the processes. For this reason, the system can be thought of as four systems:

1. official repository of data pertaining to non-academic title codes (including Tier 1 titles (Professional Support Staff, or PSS) and Tier 2 titles (Management and Senior Professionals (MSP) and Senior Management (SMG), defined as titles within Tier 2 in the range 0001 – 0199, formerly referred to as the Executive Program));

2. official repository of data pertaining to academic title codes;

3. processing for academic range adjustments; and

4. processing for non-academic base rates and shift differential range adjustments.

The last of these four functions, non-academic base rates and shift differential range adjustment processing, is largely performed by the Title Code Range system (TCR), a PC-based system that interfaces with the mainframe Title Code System. This document describes the mainframe side of these interfaces, but does not cover information regarding the TCR range adjustment system.

The Title Code System (TCS) database is a DB2 database consisting of the following base tables:

DB2 Table Description

Academic and Non-Academic tables:TCSTCIB Common Information, for all Personnel Programs

Non-Academic tables:TCSTCCB Campus-specific data, for non-academic titlesTCSTCSB Sub-Location data, for non-academic titles

TCSTDFB Shift Differential ratesTCSTOCB On-Call RatesTCSTSSB Staff Rate Set data (Tier 1 titles only)TCSTSRB Staff Rates (Tier 1 titles only)TCSTTGB Title Grade TableTCSTPGD Salary Grade Table

General Purpose tables:TCSTDAT Data Element Code Value tableTCSTCDT Campus Data Element Code Value TableTCSTCTL Control TableTCSTUSQ Utility Table (contains one blank row, used for

invoking DB2 utilities)

In addition to the above tables, there are audit tables for select base tables. These audit tables are used to record online updates made by the users via CICS:

DB2 Audit Table Description

Academic and Non-Academic Audit tables: TCSTCIA Common Information audit table

Non-Academic Audit tables: TCSTCCA Campus-specific audit table TCSTCSA Sub-Location audit table TCSTDFA Shift Differential rates audit table TCSTOCA On-Call Rates audit table TCSTSSA Staff Rate Set audit table TCSTSRA Staff Rates audit table TCSTTGA Title Grade audit table

Academic Audit tables: TCSTACA Academic Common information audit table TCSTARA Academic Step Id's audit table

Throughout the month users may make online changes to the TCS DB2 base tables via CICS screens. In general, the non-academic users and academic users work completely independently. Also, while the online system is up and available throughout the month, it is likely that the users will concentrate their updates within one week (although it may not be the same week for non-academic and academic users). The users will request audit reports for the period during which they are performing online updates, to enable them to check their work. The users may refer to the online update process as "monthly maintenance".

Once monthly maintenance is complete for both academic and non-academic users, month-end processing may proceed. This processing includes production of various reports and the following interface files:

1. a tape for TPF&C2. a Focus file for Corporate Personnel System3. transactions for the Payroll/Personnel System (PPS) Title Code Table (TCT)

There may be months where no online activity occurs. In this case, month-end processing does not need to be run. Also, the interface to the PPS Title Code Table (TCT) may occur more frequently than monthly, and is often run after a range adjustment has completed.

Specific pay rates are carried within the Title Code System for non-academic base rates, Shift Differential rates, and Academic rates. Periodically, the University increases these rates, both within the Title Code System, and in each of the campus Payroll/Personnel Systems, to increase employee's pay (if they are working in one of the titles selected for inclusion in the range adjustment). These mass increases (or possibly decreases) of rates are called "range adjustments".

The academic range adjustment process is handled entirely by the mainframe system. The range adjustment process starts with the academic users making online entries, and requesting reports. Once the range adjustment is finalized, the Final Academic Range Adjustment job is run (TCS32F), and PPS range adjustment transactions are produced. Once the processes are reviewed and approved, the campuses are notified that the PPS range adjustment transactions are available for campuses to retrieve using ftp.

The non-academic base rates and shift differential range adjustment processes are performed by a combination of the mainframe TCS system and the TCR, a PC-based system. Initially, extracts from the mainframe TCS DB2 database are created and written to a server. The PC-based system copies these extract files and calculates new rates based on the old rates in the extract files plus online input from the users. Once finalized, these new rates are put on the server by the TCR system, and the mainframe job copies these files, updates the TCS DB2 database with the new, range adjusted rates, generates PPS range adjustment transactions, and produces reports. The TCSSAUP job performs these functions for non-academic base rates, and the TCSDFUP job performs these functions for shift differential rates.

Interfaces

Files Sent FROM the TCS System

The following files are sent out to other systems FROM the TCS system:

1. Corporate Personnel System (FCP) Interface

On a monthly basis, a Focus database is created and copied to tape for use by the Corporate Personnel System, running on the VM/CMS system at UCOP (UCCVMA machine).

2. TPF&C tape

On a monthly basis, a tape is created and sent to TPF&C, the University Actuaries. This file contains only the Personnel Program (with academic titles split into two categories rather than one) and Title code.

3. Payroll/Personnel Title Code Table Interface

Transactions are generated on a regular basis (usually monthly) for the Title Code Table (TCT) within the local Payroll/Personnel System (PPS) at each campus. Unlike the interfaces to the other systems, the TCT transactions must represent changes made for the period since the last interface to TCT. To accomplish this, extract files are created on a regular basis, and a comparison is made between the current set of extract files and the previous set of extract files. When differences between the extract files exist, TCT transactions are generated to delete, change or add data in TCT.

4. Payroll/Personnel Range Adjustment Transactions (also called Payscale Table)

The range adjustment processes within TCS are designed both to update the TCS DB2 database with the range adjusted rates, and to produce transactions for each of the campus Payroll/Personnel systems to range adjust employees' pay rates. There are three range adjustment processes that generate PPS range transactions:

Academic range adjustments Non-academic base rates range adjustments (also referred to as "staff range

adjustment" in this document) Shift Differential rates range adjustments

The transactions generated by each of these three types of range adjustments are identical in format.

5. Range Adjustment Extract Files

Much of the processing for the staff and shift differential range adjustments is performed within the Title Code Range (TCR) system, a separate PC-based system. When a non-academic base rates range adjustment or Shift Differential range adjustment is starting, extract files from the mainframe TCS DB2 database are created and copied to the IR&C server. The TCR system reads the server files and processes the range adjustment amounts entered by the users. Range adjustment extract files are either Preliminary, in which case the data will not be copied back to the mainframe, or Final, in which case the data will be copied back to the mainframe for processing.

Files Sent TO the TCS System

The following files are sent to the TCS system from elsewhere:

1. Final Range Adjustment Files

Much of the processing for the staff and shift differential range adjustments is performed within the Title Range System (TCR), a separate PC-based system. If the range adjustment extracts used by the TCR system were created as Final extracts, then the TCR system will place the resulting range adjusted files on the IR&C server, and these files will be copied by TCS batch jobs for processing. The mainframe processing of these files includes:

editing the files against the TCS DB2 database, to ensure that the correct files were copied from the server;

updating the TCS DB2 database with the newly range adjusted staff rates or shift differential rates;

generation of PPS range adjustment transactions; and generation of various reports.

Glossary of Terms Used for TCS

The following abbreviations or acronyms may be used in this document or by users when requesting jobs:

Term Description

CPS Corporate Personnel System, a corporate system that is run on the VM/CMS system (i.e. the UCCVMA machine). This system is also referred to as FCP.

CTO Class Title Outline, a 3-character field used to group titles. This same field is sometimes referred to as OSC (Occupational SubGroup Code) when used for non-academic titles.

FCP Corporate Personnel System, a corporate system that is run on the VM/CMS system (i.e. the UCCVMA machine). This system is also referred to as CPS.

FLSA Fair Labor Standards Act--laws which affect some University personnel policies. In particular, this act affects how overtime is handled, which is related to the Overtime Exemption Status Code (OES code) in the Title Code System.

MSP Management and Senior Professional Staff, part of the Tier 2 non-academic Personnel Program. (The other part of the Tier 2 personnel program is Senior Management (SMG), identified as having titles in the range of 0001 – 0199 within Tier 2.) This group generally corresponds to the former Management and Professional personnel program referred to as MAP.

OES Overtime Exemption Status Code, a one-character field in the Title Code System database that indicates how overtime is handled for the title.

OSC Occupational Subgroup Category, a 3-character field used to group titles. This same field is sometimes referred to as CTO (Class Title Outline) when used for Academic titles.

PCT Patient Care Technicians, one of the three groups of non-academic titles that may be selected for a non-academic base rates range adjustment (the other two are: Nurses and Clerical).

PPS Payroll/Personnel System, the payroll system that is run at each of the nine campuses. The Title Code System sends transactions to update

December 14, 2000 Page 23

Page 24: General Information

TCS Operations Documentation General Information

the Title Code Table (TCT) within the PPS, and also sends range adjustment transactions to PPS.

PSS Professional Support Staff, which comprises the Tier 1 non-academic personnel program. This group generally corresponds to the former A&PS and Staff Personnel Programs.

SMG Senior Management, part of the Tier 2 non-academic Personnel Program. (The other part of the Tier 2 personnel program is Management and Senior Professional (MSP). The Senior Management group is identified as having titles in the range of 0001 – 0199 within Tier 2.) This group generally corresponds to the former Executive Program.

TAPP Title and Pay Plan reports, of which there are several types (Staff, A&PS, Shift and On-Call rates are the four types of Title and Pay Plan Reports). These reports have become obsolete over the years, but people still refer to the "Title and Pay Plan". One report is still run by Information Management, but it is no longer part of the production TCS system.

Note: PPS also produces local versions of the Title and Pay Plan report(s) based on data in the Title Code Table (TCT) within PPS.

TCT Title Code Table in the Payroll/Personnel System that is run at each of the campuses

TPF&C Towers, Perrin, Forester and Crosby, the University Actuaries

TUC Title Unit Code, a 2-character code within the Title Code System indicating the representation group for the title.

TCS Operation Streams

Backup Operations Stream

In order to capture online updates for backup purposes, a DB2 unload backup is run on a nightly basis and a full image backup is run on a weekly basis.

The Backup Operations stream for the Title Code system consists of the following jobs:

Job Frequency

TCSDLY Run nightly, after shutdown of the CICS region for TCS (CICSPTCS).

TCSWKLY Run weekly, after shutdown of the CICS region for TCS (CICSPTCS) on Monday, and before the CICS region is brought back up on Tuesday morning.

Audit Reports Operations Stream

All updates to the TCS DB2 database (outside of the range adjustment processes) occur as online updates performed by the users via CICS. A record is kept of nearly all of the online changes made by the users (a few of the DB2 tables do not have corresponding audit tables for tracking online changes). These changes are recorded in DB2 audit tables, which are part of the TCS DB2 database. The users will periodically ask for audit reports to be produced from these audit tables for a specified period of time, so that they may check their online updates. These jobs will be on-request.

Note: The users may refer to online updates made to the TCS DB2 database as "monthly maintenance", even though online updates may be made at any time on a daily basis.

The Audit Reports Operations stream for the Title Code system consists of the following jobs:

Job Frequency

TCS4AC Run upon user request during online updating by academic users.

TCS4N Run upon user request during online updating for non-academic users.

December 14, 2000 Page 25

Page 26: General Information

TCS Operations Documentation General Information

Month-end Reports and Interfaces Operations Stream

Once all online updates to the TCS DB2 database by the user have been completed and reviewed, month-end reports and monthly interface files may be created. The users must indicate when month-end processing may be completed.

Note: The users may refer to completion of online updates to the TCS DB2 database as completion of "monthly maintenance".

Month-end processing includes creation of the TCT interface. While this interface will normally be run as part of the month-end processing, sometimes users will request that the TCT interface be run more frequently, often following a range adjustment process.

The TCT interface relies on comparing a current extract of data to the prior extract created as part of the last run of the TCT interface. It is therefore critical that reruns are done carefully; consult with the Maintenance programmer when in doubt.

The Month-End Reports and Interfaces Operations stream for the Title Code system consists of the following jobs:

Job Frequency

TCSMTH Run once users indicate that month-end processing may proceed

TCS54 Run once users indicate that month-end processing may proceed

TCSFCP Run once users indicate that month-end processing may proceed

TCSTPFC Run once users indicate that month-end processing may proceed

TCSTCT1 Run when users indicate that the TCT interface should be run (normally part of month-end processing)

TCSTCT2 Run upon successful completion of TCSTCT1

TCS Operations Documentation General Information

Shift Differential Range Adjustment Operations Stream

In general, Shift Differential range adjustments occur on an annual basis, but may occur more frequently (or less frequently). Much of the processing for a Shift Differential Range process occurs in a PC-based system. Data is initially extracted from the mainframe TCS DB2 database, is then processed on the PC, and is finally uploaded back to the mainframe for processing. The initial extract job (TCSDFR) may be run multiple times as a Preliminary extract for a given range adjustment, but must be run only once as a Final extract.

The Shift Differential Range Adjustment Operations stream for the Title Code system consists of the following jobs:

Job Frequency

TCSDFR Run upon user request during range adjustment processing. (This job may be requested multiple times during a range adjustment process.)

TCSDFUP Run upon user request after the PC-based range adjustment processing is complete. (This job will be run only once for a range adjustment process.)

TCSDFLK Run upon user request, to unlock the shift differential range lock in the CTL DB2 table

Non-academic base rates (or Staff) Range Adjustment Operations Stream

In general, Staff range adjustments occur on an annual basis, but may occur more frequently (or less frequently). Staff Range Adjustments are performed for three separate populations (Nurses, Patient Care Technicians, and Clerical), so three range adjustments may occur very close together. The range process is also used to update merit-based rates, although no payscale files are sent to campuses in this case.

Much of the processing for a Staff Range process occurs in a PC-based system TCR. Data is initially extracted from the mainframe TCS DB2 database, is then processed on the PC, and is finally uploaded back to the mainframe for processing. The initial extract job (TCSSAR) may be run multiple times as a Preliminary extract for a given range adjustment, but must be run only once as a Final extract.

The Staff Range Adjustment Operations stream for the Title Code system consists of the following jobs:

December 14, 2000 Page 27

Page 28: General Information

TCS Operations Documentation General Information

Job Frequency

TCSSAR Run upon user request during range adjustment processing. (This job may be requested multiple times during a range adjustment process.)

TCSSAUP Run upon user request after the PC-based range adjustment processing is complete. (This job will be run only once for a range adjustment process.)

TCSSALK Run upon user request, to unlock the staff range lock in the CTL DB2 table

Academic Range Adjustment Operations Stream

In general, Academic range adjustments occur on an annual basis, but may occur more frequently. During a range adjustment process, certain jobs will be run multiple times while users are finalizing the selection for the range process.

The Academic Range Adjustment Operations stream for the Title Code system consists of the following jobs:

Job Frequency

TCS53 Run upon user request prior to or during range adjustment processing. (This job will probably be requested multiple times during a range adjustment process.)

TCS32P Run upon user request during range adjustment processing. (This job will probably be requested multiple times during a range adjustment process.)

TCS326 Run upon user request, after the TCS32P job has successfully completed (this job will not always be requested when a TCS32P job is requested)

TCS32F Run upon user request during range adjustment processing. (This job will be run only once for a range adjustment process.)

TCS22 Run upon user request, after completion of one or more range adjustment processes

TCS23 Run upon user request, after completion of one or more range adjustment processes
