2.7.2 Control Parameters
Relatively few parameters are needed to implement the z/VM
Processor Usage Planning Sample Application. The control
screens included in the online facility allow you to quickly
enter the required information.

Figure 2-7.01. z/VM Planning Screen
Figure 2-7.01 shows the z/VM Processor Usage Planning screen,
which is the main control screen for the z/VM Processor Usage
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 VMXSGP 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 Number of cycles or versions of the historical
cycle: 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 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 VMXSGP File to be used
with this sample application. If you are not
sure where the VMXSGP 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 2-7.02) is
Options: displayed.

Figure 2-7.02. z/VM Planning Extended Options Menu
The extended options available with the z/VM Processor Usage
Planning Sample Application (Figure 2-7.02) 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
zones/hours/ the capacity planning database file. The prompt
daynames for this field changes to zones, hours or
into a daynames depending on what you specify for the
composite: summary level parameter. Enter 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 2-7.03).
Enter R (RESET) to reset any selections you
previously made to SYSID and zone, hour or
dayname.
Specify You can use your
global data own SAS statements to select data from the input
selection input file(s). Enter Y (YES) to display the SAS
exit: System Statements screen (Figure 2-7.04). Enter
R (RESET) to reset any selections you previously
made to the default of no user- specified data
selection.
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 planner database file as part of file
enabled: updating.

Figure 2-7.03. Common Data Selection Screen - z/VM Planning
The Common Data Selection screen (Figure 2-7.03) 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: You can specify up to nine zones to be included
in the capacity planning database file. Leave
this parameter blank to include data for all
zones.
Hour: You can specify up to 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 z/VM Planning screen
(Figure 2-7.01). Leave this parameter blank to
include data for all hours. Singular hour
values must be entered to the left of the dash.
Dayname: You can specify 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 the application will fill
in the rest. Specification of this parameter is
only valid when the input timespan is DETAIL or
DAYS.
