2.13.1 Usage Guidelines

 
The WEB Server Resource Planning Sample Application provides
a capacity planning database file with the database elements
you need for basic tracking, reporting, and forecasting of
the WEB Server 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
Performance file (WEBWPR).

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