Figure 2-16.01 VAX/VMS CPU Planning Control Screen
Figure 2-16.01 shows the VAX/VMS CPU Planning screen, which
is the main control screen for the VAX/VMS CPU 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 DEMMOD and DEMSPR files used as
as input to 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 Number of cycles or versions of the historical
cycles: data you want to retain. A new cycle is created
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 Number of cycles or versions of the forecast
cycles: data you wish 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).
Database The database unit identifier(s) (up to 14 units)
ID(s): that contain the DEMMOD and DEMSPR files to be
used with this sample application. If you are
not sure where the DEMMOD and DEMSPR files
reside, type a question mark (?) in this field
to display a listing of the valid database unit
identifiers for this sample application.
Specify If you want extended options, specify Y (YES),
Extended and the Extended Options Menu shown in Figure
Options: 2-16.02 is displayed.

Figure 2-16.02. VAX/VMS CPU Planning Extended Options Menu
The extended options available with the VAX/VMS CPU
Planning Sample Application are:
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
zones/hours/ the capacity planning database file. The prompt
daynames for this field changes to zones, hours or
into a daynames depending on what you specify for the
composite: summary 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.
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
2-16.03. 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 SAS System Statements screen
exit: shown in Figure 2-16.04. Enter R (RESET) to
reset any selections you previously made to the
default of no user-specified data selection.
Specify CPU Specify the parameters to use for CPU time
time adjustment (normalization), if you desire this
adjustment optional feature. Enter Y (YES) to display the
parameters: CPU Time Adjustment Parameters screen shown in
Figure 2-16.05. Enter R (RESET) to reset any
selections you previously made to CPU time
adjustment.
This option is not available if you specify the
composite SYSID option on this screen shown in
Figure 2-16.02.
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 planning file as part of file updating.

Figure 2-16.03. Common Data Selection Screen - VAX/VMS CPU Planning
The Common Data Selection screen shown in Figure 2-16.03
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
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 include 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 include
in the capacity planning database file. This
parameter is valid only if you specify the
DETAIL, DAYS, or WEEKS timespan on the VAX/VMS
CPU Planning screen shown in Figure 2-16.01
Leave this parameter blank to include data for
all hours.
Dayname: Specify up to five daynames to include in the
capacity planning database file. Leave this
parameter blank to include all days. Input the
first unique characters and the application will
fill in the rest. This parameter is only valid
when the input timespan is DETAIL or DAYS.

The SAS System Statements screen shown in Figure 2-16.04 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 to prevent modification.

Figure 2-16.05. CPU Time Adjustment Parameters Screen
The information on the CPU Time Adjustment Parameters screen
shown in Figure 2-16.05 is required only if you choose CPU
time normalization for the VAX/VMS CPU Resource Planning
Sample Application.
Base CPU The 10-character identifier for the base VAX
model: system. Any name is acceptable in this field.
Do not use embedded blanks or equal signs (=) in
this value. For example, if you want to
normalize your actual CPU time values to the
equivalent of a VAX 8350, then type VAX-8350 in
this field.
Base CPU The relative performance (VUP) rating for the
VUP rating: base processor. The value must be a real number
greater than 0 (zero). You can use
vendor-supplied values for the factor, or use a
factor based on your own evaluations. For
example, if you specify a VAX-8350 as the base
CPU model, then type 2.3 in this field.
