4.5.2 Integration with NSM Performance Trend

NSM Performance Trend supports system management and/or
capacity planning.  It provides historical performance and
usage information in a spreadsheet where it can be
manipulated and refined.  Mainframe performance information
collected via CA MICS can be made accessible for use in NSM
Performance Trend.

The support for NSM Performance Trend extracts CA MICS data
from the CA MICS database in a CSV (Comma Separated Value)
format that can be processed by NSM Performance Trend.

To enable a CA MICS component to NSM Performance Trend, you
need to create a MICF inquiry and a member in
sharedprefix.MICS.PARMS defining what data should be
extracted from the component.
