2.9.1 Usage Guidelines

 
The CICS Resource Planning Sample Application provides a
capacity planning database file with the data elements you
need for basic tracking, reporting, and forecasting of the
CICS workload.

In the CICS Resource Planning Sample Application, the
application workload group (CAPAPU) data element allows you
to group your individual CICS systems into logically similar
workload groups for more meaningful tracking and reporting.
Three methods are provided for specifying the manner in which
the CICS systems are grouped: 1) defining each CICS system as
its own workload group (CAPAPU = CICSID), 2) combining all
CICS systems (no workload group), or 3) defining your own SAS
statements to create the workload groupings and setting the
CAPAPU values accordingly.
