2.12.1 Usage Guidelines

 
The WebSphere MQSeries Planning Sample Application provides a
capacity planning database file with the database elements
you need for basic tracking, reporting, and forecasting of
the MQSeries workloads on your system. The information for
this application is primarily derived from either the DETAIL,
DAYS, WEEKS, or MONTHS timespan of the CA MICS WEBSphere
MQSeries Message Manager Accounting File (MQAMMA).

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