2.5.2 Control Parameters
Relatively few parameters are needed to implement the XCF
Resource Planning Sample Application. The control screens
included in the online facility allow you to quickly enter
the required information.

Figure 2-5.01. XCF Planning Control Screen
Figure 2-5.01 shows the XCF Planning screen, which is the
main control screen for the XCF Resource Planning Sample
Application. It contains the following fields:
Summariza- The output summarization corresponds to the
tion level: combination of the primary and secondary
summarization levels. These control how the
output file is summarized in your capacity
planning database.
Input file The timespan (either DETAIL, DAYS, WEEKS or
timespan: MONTHS) of the SCPXCM file that you want to use
as input when creating the capacity planning
database file.
Amount of The number of days, weeks or months of
data historical data to be retained in the CAPxxx01
retained: cycle of the capacity planning database file.
Any historical observations older than what you
specify for this parameter are dropped from the
file during the file update.
Age of The number of days, weeks or months that you
oldest want to retain a forecast after it is generated.
forecast: Any forecast older than what you specify for
this parameter is dropped when a new forecast is
generated and saved.
History The number of cycles or versions of the
cycle: historical data you want to retain. A new cycle
is created when the file is updated and the
existing cycles aged (for example, Cycle 01 is
aged to Cycle 02 and Cycle 02 becomes Cycle 03).
Forecast The number of cycles or versions of the forecast
cycle: data you want to retain. A new cycle is created
when you specify forecast aging in one of the
workload forecasting routines and the existing
cycles are aged (for example, Cycle 01 is aged
to Cycle 02 and Cycle 02 becomes Cycle 03).
Database The database unit identifier(s) (up to fourteen
ID(s): units) that contain the SCPXCM file to be used
with this sample application. If you are not
sure where these files reside, type a question
mark (?) in this field to display a listing of
the valid database unit identifiers for this
sample application.
Specify If you want extended options, enter Y (YES), and
extended the Extended Options Menu (Figure 2-5.02) is
options: displayed.

Figure 2-5.02. XCF Planning Extended Options Menu
The extended options available with the XCF Resource Planning
Sample Application (Figure 2-5.02) are:
Combine all You can combine SYSIDs in the capacity planning
SYSIDs into database file. Enter Y (YES) if you want data
a composite: for all of the SYSIDs to be summarized into a
single observation with the Composite SYSID
value.
Combine all You can combine zones, hours and daynames in the
zones/hours/ capacity planning database file The prompt for
daynames this field changes to zones or hours or daynames
into a depending on what you specify for the summary
composite: level parameter. Enter a Y (YES) if you want
all of the zones, hours, and daynames to be
summarized into a single observation with the
Composite value.
Specify Specify the SYSIDs and zones, hours or daynames
common data to be used for data selection from the CA MICS
selection input file(s). Enter Y (YES) to display the
parameters: Common Data Selection screen (Figure 2-5.03.)
Enter R (RESET) to reset any selections you
previously made to SYSID and zone, hour or
dayname.
Specify You can specify your own SAS statements to
global data select data from the CA MICS input file(s).
selection Enter Y (YES) to display the SAS System
exit: Statements screen (Figure 2-5.04). Enter R
(RESET) to reset any selections you previously
made to the default of no user-specified data
selection.
CAPAPU You can use your own SAS statements to override
derivation the setting of the CAPAPU elements. Enter Y
SAS (YES) to display the SAS System Statements
statements: screen.
Notes If you have entered notes associated with the
report capacity planning file definition, a Yes in this
enabled: field prints the note as part of file updating.
Contents A Yes in this field prints the contents of the
reports capacity planning database file as part of file
enabled: updating.

Figure 2-5.03. Common Data Selection Screen - XCF Planning
The Common Data Selection screen (Figure 2-5.03) allows you
to define the following data selection criteria:
SYSID: The SYSIDs that you want to include in your
capacity planning database file. You can
specify a maximum of 15 one- to four-character
SYSIDs. Leave this parameter blank to include
data for all SYSIDs.
Zone: Select up to nine zones to include in the
capacity planning database file. Leave this
parameter blank to include data for all zones.
Hour: Select five hours, or hour ranges to be included
in the capacity planning database file.
Selection of this parameter is valid only if you
specify the DETAIL, DAYS, or WEEKS timespan on
the XCF Resource Planning screen (Figure
2-5.01). Leave this parameter blank to include
data for all hours.
Dayname: Select up to five daynames to be included in the
capacity planning database file. Leave blank to
include all days. Input the first unique
characters and this application will fill in the
rest. Selection of this parameter is only valid
when the input timespan is DETAIL or DAYS.

The SAS System Statements screen (Figure 2-5.04) lets you
define your own data selection logic. You can code any valid
SAS statements as described in the SAS manuals. The %MACRO
SELECT and %MEND SELECT statements are already provided and
field protected from modification.
