2.2.2 Capacity Planner Interface


The CA MICS Capacity Planner can make extensive use of the
Batch and Operations Analyzer for studies to establish job
classifications, analyze JES spool activity, track the print
load of remote printers, track the resource requirements for
individual applications, and implement innumerable other
analysis.

All the files in the Batch Information Area are useful for
capacity planning studies.  Among the individual elements
that you can study for basic on-demand analyses are:

    ACCTNO1  - Account Code 1
    ACCTNO2  - Account Code 2
    ACCTNO3  - Account Code 3
    JOB      - Job Identification
    JOBGROUP - Job Group
    JOBCLASS - Job Input Class
    RACFGRID - RACF Group ID
    JOBCPUTM - Job CPU Time
    JOBEDASD - DASD EXCPS
    JOBETAPE - Tape EXCPS
    JOBNLR   - Total Logical Writer Records
    JOBSRBTM - Job SRB CPU Time
    JOBTCBTM - Job TCB CPU Time
    PROGRAM  - Program Name
    PGMCOUNT - Program Steps Encountered
    PGMCPUTM - Step CPU Time
    PGMEDASD - DASD EXCPS
    PGMETAPE - Tape EXCPS
    PGMSRBTM - Step SRB CPU Time
    PGMTCBTM - Step TCB CPU Time
    PGMMXTAP - Max Tape Devices Allocated
    FORMNUM  - Form Number
    ROUTE    - Route Number
    SYSOUT   - SYSOUT Class
    SPLFEET  - Number of Feet Printed
    SPLNLR   - Logical Writer Records
    SPLPGE   - Page Count
    SPLPPGE  - PSF Page Count

More advanced capacity planning studies can use the following
elements:

    JOBHIPTM - Job Hiperspace CPU Time
    JOBHIPI  - Job Hiperspace Page Ins
    JOBHIPO  - Job Hiperspace Page Outs
    JOBSYSAB - Job System Abends
    JOBUSRAB - Job User Abends
    PGMCPGIN - Common Area Pageins
    PGMDSV   - Data Space Storage Used
    PGMHIPI  - Step Hiperspace Page Ins
    PGMHIPO  - Step Hiperspace Page Outs
    PGMHIRF  - Step Hiperspace Read Fails
    PGMLPAPG - LPA Page Ins
    PGMPGIN  - Non VIO, Non Swap Page Ins
    PGMPGOUT - Non VIO, Non Swap Page Outs
    PGMPGSEC - Page Seconds
    PGMPGST  - Pages Stolen
    PGMPGSWI - Pages Swapped In
    PGMPGSWO - Pages Swapped Out
    PGMSYSAB - Step System Abends
    PGMUSRAB - Step User Abends
    PGMVPGIN - VIO Page Ins
    PGMVPGOT - VIO Page Outs
    PGMVRCLM - VIO Reclaims
