Figure 2-8.01. SMS Planning Screen
Figure 2-8.01 shows the SMS Planning screen, which is the
main control screen for the SMS 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 VCAVOA and VCADAA Files 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 VCAVOA and VCADAA Files
to be used with this sample application. If you
are uncertain in which database unit the VCAVOA
and VCADAA Files reside, type a question mark
(?) in this field to display a message listing
of the valid database unit identifiers for this
sample application.
SMS storage The four options for defining workload groups
category (see Section 2.8.1, Usage Guidelines).
(CAPAPU):
Application The 1- to 40-character name for the CAPAPU data
unit title: element. You can use this parameter to document
how your workload groupings have been defined.
This parameter is only available for entry if
you specify EXIT for the SMS workload definition
(CAPAPU) parameter. If you select any of the
three SMS-related categorizations, this
parameter will be specified for you as follows:
GROUP -- Storage Group
STGCLASS -- Storage Class
MGTCLASS -- Management Class
Specify If you want extended options, enter Y (YES), the
options: the Extended Options Menu (Figure 2-8.02) is
displayed.

Figure 2-8.02. SMS Planning Extended Options Menu
The extended options available with the SMS Resource Planning
Sample Application are:
Combine all You can combine SYSIDs in the capacity planning
SYSIDs into database file. Enter Y (YES) if you wish 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 or 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 2-8.03).
Enter R (RESET) to reset any selections you
previously made to SYSID and zone, hour or
dayname.
Specify You can use your own SAS statements to select
global data data from the CA MICS input file(s). Enter Y
selection (YES) to display the SAS System Statements
exit: screen (Figure 2-8.04). Enter R (RESET) to
display or reset any specifications you
previously made to the default of no
user-specified data selection.
Specify You can use your own SAS statements for defining
CAPAPU your SMS storage categories. Enter Y (YES) to
derivation display the SAS System Statements screen. Enter
SAS R (RESET) to reset any SAS Statements you
statements: previously made to user-specified workload
groupings. This option is available only if you
specify EXIT for the SMS workload definition
(CAPAPU) parameter on the SMS Planning 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 2-8.03. Common Data Selection Screen - SMS Planning
The Common Data Selection screen (Figure 2-8.03) allows you
to define the following data selection criteria:
SYSID: The SYSIDs 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: 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: Specify the five hours, or hour ranges to be
included in the capacity planning database file.
Specification of this parameter is valid only if
you specify the DETAIL, DAYS or WEEKS timespan
on the SMS Planning screen (Figure 2-8.01).
Leave this parameter blank to include data for
all hours. You must enter singular hour values
on the left side of the dash.
Dayname: 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. Selection of this parameter is only valid
when the input timespan is DETAIL or DAYS.
