All of the CA MICS standard data elements used in the IBM
License Manager Planning Sample Application database file
have the same meaning and derivation as their identically
named counterparts in the CA MICS HARLPC and HARCPU files.
 
The data elements that are derived from the CA MICS database
and used by the WLC Implementation Planning Sample
Application are calculated as follows:
 
CAPAPU:      The CAPAPU element is developed internally by
             the application and consists of a logical
             concatenation of the PRSMENV & PRSMLPNO data
             values. This is done to cause separate
             observations to be created for each LPAR within
             each Central Processing Complex. This value will
             also ensure that historical observations are
             summarized correctly whenever a change is made
             within the computing environment. For example,
             adding a processor with the "Capacity on Demand"
             feature will be reflected within the PRSMENV
             value and subsequently cause a new observation
             to be created within the CAP Planning file.
CPCUSETM:    The total processor time that the CPC was either
             dedicated or used in shared mode.  It is
             calculated by the formula:
 
             CPCUSETM = (PRSMTDP*DURATION)/INTERVLS+
                        PRSMTDTM
 
             where DURATION is the interval duration obtained
             from the HARLPC file.
CPCAVLTM:    The total available processor time across the
             CPC including both dedicated and shared
             processors.  It is calculated using the formula:
 
             CPCAVLTM = (PRSMTPP*DURATION)/INTERVLS
 
             where DURATION is the interval duration obtained
             from the HARLPC file.
CPCPCUSE:    The percent of the total CPC consumed by all
             work.  It is calculated using the following
             formula:
 
             CPCPCUSE = 100 * (CPCUSETM / CPCAVLTM)
 
             This element must have values between 0 and 100.
CPCPCLPC:    The percent of the total CPC consumed by this
             LPAR.  It is calculated using the following
             formula:
 
             CPCPCLPC = 100 * (LPCTODTM / CPCAVLTM)
 
             This element must have values between 0 and 100.
