1.5.7.2 Inserting Capacity Planning File Definitions


The Reports and Graphics Jobstream screen in the sequence
described in the CA MICS MICF Reference Guide has an option
that states either "Specify MICF Inquiries for Reporting
Jobstream" or "Specify Capacity Planning Files to Update".
For jobstreams being newly created, this option always
displays the first of these two messages.  For jobstreams
that have been previously defined, this option displays
whichever of these two statements is appropriate for the
contents of the jobstream.  If, when you are initially
building the jobstream, you answer Y to this option, you will
next see the Reports and Graphics Jobstream screen shown in
Figure 1-28.

 Figure 1-28.  Reports and Graphics Jobstream Screen


The second option on this screen, the one for selecting
shared capacity planning file definitions, permits you to
insert one or more shared capacity planning file processes
into a production reporting jobstream.  Once you choose one
of the options on this screen, the entire jobstream you are
defining will consist of either shared MICF inquiries or
shared capacity planning file definitions.

The following description shows you the sequence of actions
you need to take to add a shared capacity file definition to
a production reporting jobstream.  Use a series of three
screens (as shown in Figures 1-29, 1-30, and 1-31) to manage
the content of these jobstreams:

 Figure 1-29.  Capacity Planning File Definitions Screen

This screen shows the capacity planning database file updates
you currently have included in the production reporting
jobstream and permits you to delete any of these file updates
from the jobstream, rearrange the sequence of these entries,
or add new file update entries.  When you run the jobstream
containing these capacity file update processes shown on this
screen, the files will be updated in the same sequence that
they are listed on this screen.

Specify D in the Cmd column to delete a capacity file update
from the jobstream.

Specify M in this same column to move a capacity file update
to before or after another update in the list.  Specify B or
A to indicate the position before or after which you want to
move the capacity file update.

Specify I in the Cmd column to insert another shared capacity
file update in the jobstream.  If you do this, you will see
the next screen in the sequence, the Shared File Definition
Selection screen shown in Figure 1-30.

The Select Shared File Definition screen is displayed in
response to any S you enter on the preceding screen.  This
screen displays the shared file definition selected on the
previous screen and allows you to specify a new catalog group
and override the CA MICS cycles or number of weeks or months
for the update process.  The update process for the capacity
planning file described by this screen will be entered into
the production job stream.
