2.6.3 Standard Output

 
The capacity planning database file that is generated by the
Coupling Facility Planning Sample Application contains the
data following elements:
 
A.  Data elements common to all CA MICS Capacity Planner
    database files:
 
    SYSID
    ZONE or HOUR or DAYNAME
    YEAR
    MONTH or WEEK or MNTHDAY
    DATE
B.  Data elements unique to the Coupling Facility Planning
    Sample Application database file:
 
    1.  Character format data elements
 
        CAPAPU   - SYSPLEX
        CAPAPU2  - Coupling Facility Name
        CAPAPU3  - System using Coupling Facility
    2.  Numeric format data elements
 
        CFPTOCPU - Total Processors
        CFPTOTSD - Total Storage Defined (KB)
        CFPTOTSF - Total Storage Free (KB)
        CFPTOCSD - Total Control Storage Defined (KB)
        CFPTOCSF - Total Control Storage Free (KB)
        CFPTODSA - Total Dump Storage Allocated (KB)
        CFPTODSF - Total Dump Storage Free (KB)
        CFPTOPTH - Total Paths Available
        CFPTOREQ - Total Requests Made by this System
        CFPTOURQ - Total Unsuccessful Requests
        CFPTOSCG - Total Subchannels in IOGEN
        CFPTOSCU - Total Subchannels in use
        ALLTOREQ - Total Requests Made in SYSPLEX
        ALLTOURQ - Total Unsuccessful Requests in SYSPLEX
    3.  Time format data elements
 
        CFPTOBTM - Processor Busy Time
        CFPTOWTM - Processor Wait Time
    4.  Percentage format data elements
 
        PCTTOREQ - Percentage of total requests made by this
                   system
        PCTTOURQ - Percentage of total unsuccessful requests
                   made by this system
Many of the data elements used in the Coupling Facility
Planning Sample Application database file have the same
meaning as their identically named counterparts in the
CA MICS database.
The data elements that are derived from the CA MICS database
and used by the Coupling Facility Planning Sample Application
are calculated as follows:
 
ALLTOREQ:    The total number of requests made in the
             Enhanced SYSPLEX.
 
ALLTOURQ:    The total number of unsuccessful requests made
             in the Enhanced SYSPLEX.
PCTTOREQ:    The percentage of signals made by this system
             in context of the entire Enhanced SYSPLEX.
 
             PCTTOREQ = 100 * CFPTOREQ / ALLTOREQ
 
PCTTOURQ:    The percentage of unsuccessful signals made by
             this system in context of the entire Enhanced
             SYSPLEX.
 
             PCTTOURQ = 100 * CFPTOURQ / ALLTOURQ
