I.  **[Introduction]{.smallcaps}**

    The purpose of this Bulletin is to assist State child care database
    centers with the transmission of their ACF-801 electronic data
    files.[^1] This data is transmitted from the States to the
    Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Child Care Bureau\'s
    (CCB) Child Care Information System (CCIS).[^2] The most efficient
    method of electronic data transmission is through CONNECT:Direct
    (C:D), established by the Social Security Administration (SSA). SSA
    uses C:D for data transfer within its secure network of State and
    Federal data centers. The SSA network of data centers is an
    important resource for transmitting child care data.[^3] This
    Bulletin gives step-by-step instructions for using C:D to transfer
    State ACF-801 child care data to CCIS.

########  CONNECT:Direct Instructions

***[S]{.smallcaps}tep 1[:]{.smallcaps} Find the State\'s CONNECT:Direct
Point-of-Contact***

> Appendix I is a compiled list of C:D contact personnel for each State
> from information provided by SSA, the Adoption and Foster Care
> Analysis and Reporting System, and the Office of Child Support
> Enforcement. Use this list as a starting point to contact the C:D
> personnel in your State. Tell the C:D contact personnel that you have
> an ACF-801 data file that needs to be sent via CONNECT:Direct to the
> Child Care Bureau's CCIS in Washington, D.C. and that you need their
> assistance in locating a point-of-contact who is responsible for your
> State's ACF-801 data transmission. A point-of-contact is an
> applications or systems person who may be at the State child care
> database center or at the State C:D site. It is important to locate
> this individual who will be transmitting the ACF-801 data files. Work
> with this point-of-contact to carry out the remaining steps in the
> CONNECT:Direct procedures.

***Step 2: Complete and Submit the Registration Form***

> Complete the registration form (Appendix II) and fax it to the Child
> Care Automation Resource Center (CCARC) at (703) 821-1496. The
> point-of-contact should help you complete the form. Upon receipt of
> your fax, CCARC staff will contact you to schedule a test date and
> will send you a test file on a diskette. This test file will be
> transmitted to CCIS during your first C:D test (see Step 5).

***Step 3:** **Write the JCL for C:D File Transmission***

> Create a process for sending data files to CCIS. Write the Job Control
> Language (JCL) necessary to create the data transmission process.
> Appendix III provides a sample of JCL that you can use to create your
> transmittal process.
>
> You must use the following dataset naming convention for the file C:D
> will write to CCIS. If you do not follow this exact naming convention,
> CCIS will not be able to receive your ACF-801 data file:
>
> **VVG1IWI.PCCIS.NDM.***xx*.**HUB.Y***yyyy***.D***mmdd***.T***hhmm*
>
> where *xx* is the two-letter postal code abbreviation for your State.
> *yyyy*, *mmdd* and *hhmm* respectively, are the four digit year, the
> two digit month and day, and the military time (based on a 24 hour
> clock) of the transmission.
>
> For example, if you are submitting a data file for Alabama's ACF-801
> data on July 15, 1998 at 1:15 pm then the dataset name should be:
>
> **VVG1IWI.PCCIS.NDM.***AL*.**HUB.Y***1998***.D***0715***.T***1315*

***Step 4: Create Effective Information Flow Procedures***

> It is important to create effective data flow procedures between CCIS,
> the State ACF-801 child care data center, and the State C:D site,
> especially when the location of the C:D site is different from that of
> the child care data center.
>
> States are encouraged to develop the following:

-   A procedure for *transmitting* the ACF-801 data to the State C:D
    mainframe.

-   A procedure for *receiving* reports back from the State C:D
    mainframe.

> These two procedures ensure that State child care data files are sent
> to the appropriate individual at the State C:D site for transmittal to
> CCIS. These procedures also ensure that the CCIS report files sent to
> the State C:D site are forwarded to the appropriate person at the
> State child care data center who is ultimately responsible for the
> ACF-801 data. This is essential because receipt of the report files is
> proof that the ACF-801 data was received and processed by CCIS.
>
> Examples of what States have done internally to exchange information
> include using a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and sending cartridges
> and tapes back and forth between centers and sites.

***Step 5: Perform the C:D Data Transmission Link and Loop Tests***

> You must perform two separate tests on your data transmission process
> before you can transmit the first [actual]{.underline} data.

-   **Test C:D data transmission link**: The first test verifies that
    there is a data transmission link between the State C:D mainframe
    and CCIS. Transmit the test data[^4] from your State C:D mainframe
    to CCIS. Once CCIS receives your test data, it generates a test
    report, the purpose of which is simply to acknowledge that data can
    transmit back to your State C:D mainframe. This test establishes
    that both mainframes are linked for data transmission.

-   **Test C:D data transmission loop**: The second test is called a
    "loop test" because it checks that all aspects of the data
    transmission links between sites are working properly. Inform your
    Technical Assistance Liaison at the CCARC when you are ready to
    perform the loop test. Once the date is established, start the test
    by extracting ACF-801 data from your database,[^5] and then transmit
    it to your State C:D site. That site, in turn, transmits the data to
    CCIS, where the data is analyzed and processed. Next, CCIS transmits
    data reports back to your State C:D site, which transmits the
    reports back to the child care data collection center which
    originally sent the data.

> **NOTE**: When you begin the loop test, be sure to enter "**111111**"
> in the **report period data element for the monthly summary record
> field**. Using this entry tells the system that you are transmitting
> test data.
>
> Ask your contacts for the names of those who can verify the test
> results. In addition, use the C:D utility, Select Statistics, to
> verify if the transmission was successful. Check with your State\'s
> C:D site to determine if this utility is available. Appendix IV has
> more information about using Select Statistics.

***Step 6: Transmit the [Actual]{.underline} ACF-801 Data File***

> The final step is transmitting the actual ACF-801 data file based on
> your State\'s submission schedule.[^6] When CCIS receives your child
> care data file, it checks for file formatting and data quality. Upon
> receipt of your [actual]{.underline} data, CCIS will automatically
> generate three reports regarding the submission. The first report is
> the Summary Data Assessment Report. The second report is the Detail
> Data Assessment Report. The third report is the State Programmatic
> Analysis Report.[^7] If there is a problem, the CCARC will contact you
> to offer assistance.

**[III. Conclusion]{.smallcaps}**

The CCARC estimates that it will take approximately eight weeks to
complete the six steps necessary to transmit the first submission. Table
1 offers the approximate time needed to complete each step; however,
this will vary depending on each State. Please take a moment to consider
your State\'s time line. Note: The CCARC will be ready to test data at
the end of May for States that would like to get a head start on the
testing procedures.

Table 1: Suggested Timetable for CONNECT:Direct Transmission

This document provides step-by-step instructions for transmitting your
ACF-801 child care data files via C:D. However, as we all know,
sometimes data transmission does not go as planned. For that reason, we
invite you, or any member of your transmission team, to contact the C:D
specialists at the CCARC for further assistance.

files ACF will transmit back to the States. We suggest that the files be
created as a Generation Data Group (GDG) or have a year, date and time
stamp as final parameters (.Yyyyy.Dmmdd.Thhmm). The State needs to
provide us with the DISP, UNIT, and VOL=SER parameters.

**Appendix III**

**Sample JCL**

**\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_**

There are two options for electronically transmitting the data file to
CCIS. States may elect which option they would like to use:

-   Option 1: Create your own C:D SUBMIT and COPY process. Use this
    option if you wish to customize the C:D process to automate tasks
    beyond file transmission. For example, if you want to send a
    notification that the transmission process has been completed, you
    can automate this task by coding it in a process.

-   Option 2: Use an existing standard C:D COPY process provided with
    the software.

Following are descriptions for implementing either option:

## OPTION 1

You may use the following sample to create your own JCL batch job and
C:D SUBMIT and COPY process for the ACF-801 data file transmission to
CCIS. Please note that the information specified in the following JCL
sample may require modifications to conform to your own data center
environment.

//*jobname* JOB\--*Enter the required job statement parameters for the
State installation*.

//\* (Connect:Direct)\--Transmit a state file directly to CCIS

//DMBATCH EXEC PGM=DMBATCH,REGION=1M,PARM=(YYSLYNN)

//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=*SYS3.NDM.COMMON.LOADLIB*

//DMNETMAP DD DISP=SHR,DSN=*SYS3.NDM.COMMON.NETMAP*

//DMPUBLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=*SYS3.NDM.COMMON.PROCESS.LIB*

//DMMSGFIL DD DISP=SHR,DSN=*SYS3.NDM.COMMON.MSG*

**Description of appropriate values:**

DSN1 = \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Specify the State\'s ACF-801 dataset name being
transmitted

DSN2 = [VVG1IWI.PCCIS.NDM.*xx*.HUB.Y*yyyy.*D*mmdd*.T*hhmm*]{.underline}
This is a required dataset naming convention, where *xx* is the State\'s
two-letter postal code abbreviation, and *yyyy* is the four-digit year,
*mm* is the month, *dd* is the day, and *hhmm* is the time (in military
format - e.g. 2359 represent 11:59 pm.) the file is submitted.

The following code is a C:D COPY process, which is invoked by the C:D
SUBMIT command in the above JCL batch job. Please note that this process
must reside in the Partitioned Data Set (PDS) library referenced by the
above DMPUBLIB DD statement. In addition, its member name must be the
same as the member identified in the above C:D Submit command. For
example, the following COPY process would be named PROC01 to correspond
with the name used in the above SUBMIT PROC statement. However, if you
had assigned a different name in the SUBMIT PROC statement, the COPY
process would be assigned the same name.

**OPTION 2**

The following sample uses a COPY01 process which is a standard (generic)
C:D copy process that should reside in the DMPUBLIB library. You may use
the following sample to create your C:D SUBMIT process for the ACF-801
data file transmission to CCIS. Please note that the information
specified in the following JCL sample may require modifications to
conform to your own data center environment.

//*jobname* JOB\--*Enter the required job statement parameters for the

There are two major file transfers between the State\'s C:D mainframe
and CCIS. The first step of the process addresses the transfer of input
data from the State to CCIS. The second step transfers output reports
from CCIS back to the State C:D mainframe. States can use one of two
methods to transmit data and receive back reports:

-   an online Interactive User Interface (IUI)

-   a batch job process

Following is a detailed description of the IUI and batch job data
transmission and validation report processes. While the two processes
are similar, follow the instructions for the method your State will use.

### [The IUI Data Transmission and Validation Process]{.smallcaps}

***Validation of IUI Data Transmission***

> **Transmit Data:** The IUI data transmission process includes steps to
> \"submit\" and \"copy\" the data. To \"submit\" the data, enter an
> online IUI *submit* command. This *submit* command executes a *C:D
> submit process command*. This is a request to C:D to execute a process
> that resides in the State\'s C:D process library. Following a
> successful *submit* request, C:D executes a process that resides in
> the State\'s C:D process library. This process contains a C:D *copy*
> statement which instructs the computer to *copy* the data file from
> the State C:D site to CCIS.
>
> **Validate Transmission:** After running a successful IUI transmission
> using the *submit* command*,* the system displays the message:
> \"Submit process successful." If an error message tells you the
> transmission is unsuccessful, debug the process so it enables a
> successful transmission. To determine if the copy command was
> successful, do the following to access the *Select Statistics* menu
> and validate that the data was copied:

-   From your system, access the CONNECT:Direct *Primary Options Menu*
    (Screen A-1). Select "SS" ("View Statistics for a Completed

1)  In the *CMD* field enter "S".

2)  In the *PROCESS NAMES* field enter the process name for the C:D
    process that resides in the State's C:D process library. The example
    for JCL Option 1 has a process name of "SEND801" and that for JCL
    Option 2 has a process name of "COPY01". (See Appendix III.)

3)  In the *START DATE* field enter the date CCIS attempted to transfer
    the reports. Enter "TODAY" for the current date, or enter a specific
    date using a date format of mm/dd/yyyy. C:D retrieves statistics for
    processes with the specified name run on or after this date.

4)  Press enter.

> Screen A-3. IUI Facility Select Statistics Summary

-   C:D displays a three-line summary of the statistics records for each
    C:D process function. The first and second lines of each entry
    identify a process by function (FUNCTION), process name (PNAME) and
    number (PNUMBER), submitter or other node, and userid. The third
    line of each entry is the message id return code (RTNCD), and the
    ending date and time (END DATE/TIME) of that process. Each C:D
    process function is successful if the third line has a RTNCD of
    "00000000". The C:D process function is unsuccessful if the third
    line has a non-zero RTNCD. An asterisk appears to the left of an
    entry if a non-zero RTNCD is present.

-   There should be an entry for the SUBMIT process (see"SUB-CMD" lines
    of Screen A-3). If a RTNCD of "00000000" is present, the process was
    successful. If a non-zero RTNCD is present, the process is
    unsuccessful. Enter "M" next to the process name to display the
    specific error message.

-   There should be an entry for the COPY process (see "COPY" lines of
    Screen A-3), which contains a C:D *copy* statement to copy the data
    file from the State to CCIS. If a RTNCD of "00000000" is present,
    the process is successful. Entering "S" next to the process name
    displays the detail statistics, such as the compression ratio of the
    transfer. If a non-zero RTNCD is present, the process is
    unsuccessful. Enter "M" next to the process name to display the
    specific error message.

***Validation of IUI Reports Process***

> If the transmission was successful, CCIS generates reports about the
> submission which are sent to the State via C:D within 24 hours of
> receiving the data file. A periodic \"sweep\" process submits a C:D
> process at CCIS to copy the reports to the State's C:D mainframe. The
> process name is: CCISTO*xx* (where *xx* represents the State postal
> code abbreviation). When this process is executed, C:D generates
> statistic log records that indicate whether the reports are copied
> from CCIS to the State successfully. Please note that C:D generates a
> copy of the statistics log records on the State's mainframe, as well
> as on the CCIS mainframe. Use the Select Statistics command to
> retrieve and examine the statistics records generated by the CCIS
> mainframe.

-   From your system, access the CONNECT:Direct *Primary Options Menu*
    (Screen A-1). Select "SS" ("View Statistics for a Completed
    Process") from this menu.

-   This displays the *Select Statistics* screen (see Screen A-2). Enter
    the following values to display a three line summary of the
    statistics records:

1)  In the *CMD* field enter "S".

2)  In the *PROCESS NAMES* field enter "CCISTO*xx*", where *xx*
    represents the state postal code abbreviation. This is the C:D
    process that copies the reports to the State's C:D system.

3)  In the *START DATE* field enter the date of the attempted report
    transfer. (The CCIS mainframe will submit reports within 24 hours of
    data arriving.) Enter "TODAY" for the current date, or enter a
    specific date using a date format of mm/dd/yyyy. C:D retrieves
    statistics for all the processes run on or after this date.

4)  Press enter.

-   C:D displays a three-line summary of the statistics records for each
    C:D process function. (See Screen A-3.) The first and second lines
    of each entry identify a process by function, process name and
    number, submitter or other node, and userid. The third line of each
    entry is the message id RTNCD, and the ending date and time of that
    process. Each C:D process function is successful if the third line
    has a RTNCD of "00000000". The C:D process function is unsuccessful
    if the third line has a non-zero RTNCD. An asterisk appears to the
    left of an entry if a non-zero RTNCD is present.

-   There should be an entry for each report file sent to the State.
    (See Screen A-3). Each entry represents the process execution on the
    CCIS mainframe which contains a C:D copy statement to copy the
    report file from the CCIS mainframe at NIH to the State. If a RTNCD
    of "00000000" is present, the process is successful. You may enter
    "S" next to the process to display the detail statistics of the
    transfer, such as the compression ratio. If a non-zero RTNCD is
    present, the process is not successful. Enter "M" next to the
    process name to display the specific error message.

### [The batch job transmission process]{.smallcaps}

***Validation of Batch Job Data Transmission***

> **Transmit Data:** The batch data transmission process includes steps
> to \"submit\" and \"copy\" the data. To \"submit\" the data, enter a
> *submit* command. This *submit* command executes a C:D *submit
> process* command. This is a request to C:D to execute a process that

> value, the transmission is unsuccessful. To determine if the copy
> command was successful, do the following to view the *Select
> Statistics* screen and validate that the data was copied:

-   View the statistics records in batch mode by running a batch
    *submit,* as you did before. (See JCL batch job in Option 1 or
    Option 2.) The following is an example of a JCL process to run a C:D
    select statistics job. Please note that the information specified in
    the following JCL sample may require modifications to conform to
    your own data center environment.

//*jobname* JOB\--*Enter the required job statement parameters for the

-   In the *state\_ process_name* field, enter the name shown in the
    State\'s C:D process library. The example for JCL Option 1 has a
    process name of "SEND801," and that for JCL Option 2 has a process
    name of "COPY01".

-   The STARTT represents the date you attempt to transfer the data
    file. Enter a specific date by using the "mm/dd/yyyy format" or you
    can substitute "TODAY" for the current date. C:D retrieves
    statistics for processes with the specified name run on or after
    this date.

-   The output for a batch job is different from the output for an IUI
    process. You still receive detailed statistics for each process,
    which is successful if there is a Comp Code of "00000000," and
    unsuccessful if there is a non-zero Comp Code and an error message.

-   There should be an entry for the C:D SUBMIT statement. A Comp Code
    of "00000000" indicates the process is successful, and a non-zero
    Comp Code, unsuccessful (Screen A-4).

-   To view the statistics records in batch mode you must run a batch
    *submit,* as you did before. (See JCL batch job in Option 1 or
    Option 2.) Substitute the following control cards and replace the
    fields in *italics* with the following values. Please note that the

-   CCISTO*xx:* where *xx* represents the state postal code
    abbreviation. This is the process on the CCIS mainframe which copies
    the reports to the State's C:D system.

-   The STARTT represents the date the system attempts to transfer the
    report file. (The CCIS mainframe will submit reports within 24 hours
    of data arriving.) Enter a specific date by using the "mm/dd/yyyy
    format" or you can substitute "TODAY" for the current date. C:D
    retrieves statistics for processes with the specified name run on or
    after this date.

-   The output is different than that for the IUI process. However, you
    still receive detail statistics for each C:D process. Each function
    is successful if it has a Comp Code of "00000000" and unsuccessful
    if it has a non-zero Comp Code and an error message.

-   There should be an entry for each report file sent to the State.
    Each entry represents a C:D copy statement from CCIS to the State.
    If a copy code of "00000000" is present, the process is successful.
    If a non-zero Comp Code is present, the process is unsuccessful.

[^1]: All States should now have access to CONNECT:Direct. Territories
    have the option of using a different file transfer protocol called
    \"Kermit.\" Please see Technical Bulletin #9 for Kermit
    instructions.

[^2]: The CCIS is located at the National Institute of Health (NIH)
    computer center in Bethesda, MD. The Child Care Bureau uses two
    mainframes at the center. States files are first transmitted to a
    work area on the NIH MVS and secondly to the DEC Alpha Unix Server
    where the CCIS database resides.

[^3]: When a State transmits the ACF-801 data, the SSA acts as a network
    router between the State and the NIH computer center.

[^4]: The Child Care Automation Resource Center will provide test data
    on a diskette after the State C:D registration form is received. See
    Step 2.

[^5]: For the loop test, States may choose to send either the entire
    first submission or a portion of the records in the first
    submission. In either case, the loop test submission must be a
    properly formatted CCIS file. Technical Bulletin #4 describes
    ACF-801 Case-level File Format.

[^6]: States are given the option to submit data on a monthly or
    quarterly schedule. States specified their desired option in their
    Sampling Plan or Letter of Intent that was due to ACF February 28,
    1998.

[^7]: This report will be sent to States beginning in September of 1998.
