2.10.2 Control Parameters

Relatively few parameters are needed to implement the IMS
Resource Planning Sample Application.  The control screens
included in the online facility allow you to quickly enter
the required information.

 Figure 2-10.01.  IMS Resource Planning Screen

Figure 2-10.01 shows the IMS Resource Planning screen, which
is the main control screen for the IMS 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
time-span:   MONTHS) of the IMSISU and IMSISY 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
cycles:      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
cycles:      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).

Data base    The database unit identifier(s) (up to fourteen
ID(s):       units) that contain the IMSISU and IMSISY Files
             to be used with this standard application.  If
             you are uncertain in which database unit the
             IMSISU and IMSISY Files reside, type a question
             mark (?) in this field to display a message
             listing of the valid database unit identifiers

             how your workload groupings have been defined.

 Figure 2-10.03.  Common Data Selection Screen - IMS Resource Planning

The Common Data Selection screen (Figure 2-10.03) 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.
             Selection of this parameter is valid only if you
             specify the DETAIL, DAYS, or WEEKS timespan on
             the IMS Planning screen (Figure 2-10.01).  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.
