Many of the data elements used in the WLM Workload Planning
Sample Application database file have the same meaning and
derivation as their identically named counterparts in the
CA MICS database.  For more information on the derivation of
these elements, see CA MICS Hardware and SCP Analyzer Guide.
The data elements that are derived from the CA MICS database
and used by the WLM Workload Planning Sample Application are
calculated as follows:
 
CAPAPU:      The name of the workload. You specify this in
             either the Workload Mapping Table or the CAPAPU
             exit.
 
ALLSRBTM:    The total SRB time consumed by all workloads on
             a system during the interval. This is the sum
             of SECSRBTM across the workloads.

ALLTCBTM:    The total TCB time consumed by all workloads on
             a system during the interval. This is the sum
             of SECCPUTM across the workloads.

ALLTCPTM:    The total SRB & TCB time consumed by all
             workloads on a system during the interval. This
             is the sum of SECTCPTM across the workloads.

PCATRCPU:    The percent of SRB & TCB time attributable to
             workloads. This represents the sum of all SRB
             & TCB time measured by RMF for the represented
             workloads as a percentage of the hardware CPU
             busy time as measured by RMF. It is calculated
             using the formula:
 
             PCATRCPU = 100 * ALLTCPTM / CPUTOBTM
 
             This element should have values between 0 and
             100.

PCTOTSRB:    The percentage of total SRB time consumed by a
             workload. It is calculated using the formula:
 
             PCTOTSRB = 100 * (SECSRBTM / ALLSRBTM)
 
             This element should have values between 0 and
             100.
PCTOTTCB:    The percentage of total TCB time consumed by a
             workload. It is calculated using the formula:
 
             PCTOTTCB = 100 * (SECCPUTM / ALLTCBTM)
 
             This element should have values between 0 and
             100.
PCTOTTCP:    The percentage of total SRB & TCP time consumed
             by a workload. It is calculated using the
             formula:
 
             PCTOTTCP = 100 * (SECTCPTM / ALLTCPTM)
 
             This element should have values between 0 and
             100.
TOTCPUTM:    This is the sum of all attributed CPU times as
             recorded by RMF. It is calculated using the
             formula:
 
             TOTCPUTM = SUM(SECSRBTM,SECCPUTM,SECTOIIT,
                            SECTORCT,SECTOHST)
The additional data elements that are present if CPU time
adjustment is specified are derived as follows:
 
BASECPU:     The value that was specified for the Base CPU
             model parameter on the CPU Time Adjustment
             Parameters screen (Figure 2-2.07).
WKLDACPU:    The adjusted workload SRB & TCB time. The
             derivation of this value has two parts:
 
             o  The SRM service unit to CPU time conversion
                factor WLMSUCPU, as recorded by RMF.
 
             o  The value that you specify for the Base CPU
                service unit coefficient parameter is used in
                the formula:
 
                WKLDACPU = WLMSUCPU * SECTCPTM / your value
 
                For example, if you specify a base CPU
                service unit coefficient of 1351.68, then the
                following calculation is performed:
 
                WKLDACPU = WLMSUCPU * SECTCPTM / 1351.68
WKLDASRB:    The adjusted workload SRB time. The derivation
             of this value has two parts:
 
             o  The SRM service unit to CPU time conversion
                factor WLMSUCPU, as recorded by RMF.
 
             o  The value that you specify for the Base CPU
                service unit coefficient parameter is used in
                the formula:
 
                WKLDASRB = WLMSUCPU * SECSRBTM / your value
 
                For example, if you specify a base CPU
                service unit coefficient of 1351.68, then the
                following calculation is performed:
 
                WKLDASRB = WLMSUCPU * SECSRBTM / 1351.68
WKLDATCB:    The adjusted workload TCB time.  The derivation
             of this value has two parts:
 
             o  The SRM service unit to CPU time conversion
                factor WLMSUCPU, as recorded by RMF.
 
             o  The value that you specify for the Base CPU
                service unit coefficient parameter is used in
                the formula:
 
                WKLDATCB = WLMSUCPU * SECCPUTM / your value
 
                For example, if you specify a base CPU
                service unit coefficient of 1351.68, then the
                following calculation is performed:
 
                WKLDATCB = WLMSUCPU * SECCPUTM / 1351.68
WKLDATCP:    The adjusted workload total CPU time. The
             derivation of this value has two parts:
 
             o  The SRM service unit to CPU time conversion
                factor WLMSUCPU, as recorded by RMF.
 
             o  The value that you specify for the Base CPU
                service unit coefficient parameter is used in
                the formula:
 
                WKLDATCP = WLMSUCPU * TOTCPUTM / your value
 
                For example, if you specify a base CPU
                service unit coefficient of 1351.68, then the
                following calculation is performed:
 
                WKLDATCP = WLMSUCPU * TOTCPUTM / 1351.68
