1.5.2.3 Customizing the Online Facility

This section provides a general description of how to
customize the default parameters governing your online
facility sessions.  Parameters that are used by the CA MICS
Capacity Planner online facility are shared with those used
by MICF.  Consequently, changes you make using Option 0 of
the Capacity Planning menu are reflected when you use MICF,
and vice-versa.  You can find details on each parameter in
the CA MICS MICF Reference Guide.

When you use the online facility, you must specify how to
allocate data sets, what printer formats to use, what color
graphics devices you are using, what ISPF profile you want to
use with the online facility, and what defaults you would
like to have when executing a capacity planning file
definition or analysis inquiry.  Defaults for each of the
parameters in these categories were included with MICF when
it was shipped to your installation.  Your CA MICS System
Administrator has further tailored these defaults for your
site.  In addition, the online facility often gives you the
opportunity to revise parameters temporarily for a particular
inquiry.

For these reasons, we recommend that you start using the
online facility with the default options unchanged.  As you
become more familiar with the online facility, you way wish
to reset some of these defaults.  To do so, select Option 0,
MICF Options, on the primary Capacity Planning menu.
