All of the CA MICS standard data elements used in the IRD
Implementation 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 IRD 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 & LPCCLUST or
             PRSMENV, LPCCLUST & PRSMLPNO data values,
             depending on the client specified option.  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.
