1.5.2.2 Starting the Online Facility

Start the online facility by selecting it from the CA MICS
Workstation Facility (MWF) menu.  The method of reaching the
CA MICS Workstation Facility varies from installation to
installation.

There are two common ways to start MWF. Your CA MICS System
Administrator may have installed CA MICS so that you can
reach MWF by selecting an option on your installation's ISPF
primary option menu or another ISPF menu.

If you cannot start MWF from a standard ISPF menu, ask your
CA MICS System Administrator for the name of the MWF CLIST.

If neither of these methods works, ask your CA MICS System
Administrator to tell you how to start MWF.

More information on starting up and using MWF is contained
in the PIOM.

Regardless of how you start MWF, once you select the options
that bring you to the Capacity Planner Management Support
Application, you will see the screen shown in Figure 1-2.
