2.1.5.1 Requirements for ILM Analysis of z/OS Workloads


The following are requirements that you must satisfy in
order to execute this report.

 o  Processing RMF data from a z/OS platform

 o  CPU Activity File (HARCPU) activated, with the following
    elements populated:

       CPUMXMSU - Maximum Number of Consumed MSUs
       CPUMXLAC - Maximum Long-Term Average of CPU MSUs
       CPUSUAVL - Service Units Available to MVS Image
       CPUPCNSW - Partition WLM Capping Percentage

    Optional Defined Capacity Group Analysis Elements:

       PRSMCGNM - Capacity Group Name
       PRSMCGLI - Capacity Group Limit
       CPUCGJTS - Capacity Group Join Time Stamp
       CPUCGJCT - Intvls with Capacity Group Changed

    Only one level is required for the CA MICS RMF product
    files (that is, DETAIL, DAYS, WEEKS, or MONTHS),
    depending on the timespan you specify during inquiry
    definition.

    The number of cycles that are maintained at your
    installation for the CA MICS files determines the time
    frame for which you can produce ILM Analysis reports.
