included on the online facility allow you to quickly enter
the information required.

Figure 2-9.01. CICS Planning Screen
Figure 2-9.01 shows the CICS Planning screen, which is the
main control screen for the CICS 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 CICCSU 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
cycles: historical data that you want to retain. A new
cycle is created when the file is updated and
the existing cycles are aged (for example, Cycle
01 becomes Cycle 02 and Cycle 02 becomes Cycle
03).
Forecast The number of cycles or versions of the forecast
cycles: data that 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
becomes Cycle 02 and Cycle 02 becomes Cycle 03).
Data base The database unit identifier(s) (up to fourteen
ID(s): units) that contain the CICCSU File to be used
with this sample application. If you are not
sure where the CICCSU File resides, type a
question mark (?) in this field to display a
listing of the valid database unit identifiers
for this sample application.
CICS The three options for defining workload groups
workload (see Section 2.9.1, Usage Guidelines).
definition
(CAPAPU):
Application The 1- to 40-character long name for the CAPAPU
unit title: data element. You can use this parameter to
provide a level of documentation for the manner
in which your workload groupings have been
defined. This parameter is only available if
you specify EXIT for the CICS workload
definition (CAPAPU) parameter.
Specify If you want extended options, specify Y (YES),
extended and the Extended Options Menu shown in Figure
options: 2-9.02 is displayed.

Figure 2-9.02. Extended Options Menu - CICS Planning
Seven extended options are available with the CICS Resource
Planning Sample Application, as shown in Figure 2-9.02.
These options are described next.
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, hours or daynames
into a depending on what you specify for the summary
composite: 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. Figure 2-9.03 illustrates
specifying zones, hours, and daynames for
inclusion in the database.
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 shown in Figure
2-9.03. 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 shown in Figure 2-9.04. Enter R (RESET)
to reset any selections you previously made to
the default of no user-specified data selection.
Specify You can use your own SAS statements for defining
CAPAPU your CICS workloads. Enter Y (YES) to display
derivation the SAS System Statements screen. Enter R
SAS (RESET) to reset any SAS SYSTEM STATEMENTs you
statements: previously made to a user-specified workload
grouping. This option is available only if you
specify EXIT for the CICS workload definition
(CAPAPU) parameter on the CICS 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 planner database file as part of file
enabled: updating.

Figure 2-9.03. Common Data Selection Screen - CICS Planning
The Common Data Selection screen 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 enter 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.
Selection of this parameter is valid only if you
specify the DETAIL, DAYS, or WEEKS timespan on
the CICS Planning screen shown in Figure 2-9.01.
Leave this parameter blank to include data for
all hours.
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 capacity planner will
fill in the rest. Specification of this
parameter is only valid when the input timespan
is detail or days.

The SAS System Statements screen shown in Figure 2-9.04 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 are field protected from modification.
