2.17.1 Usage Guidelines

 
The HP Openview UNIX Resource Planning Sample Application
provides a capacity planning database file with the database
elements you need for basic tracking, reporting, and
forecasting of the UNIX 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 Global Performance File (AUMGPR) and the CA MICS
Application Performance File (AUMAPP).

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