2.17.2 Control Parameters

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

 Figure 2-17.01.  HP Openview UNIX Planning Screen

Figure 2-17.01 shows the HP Openview UNIX Planning screen,
which is the main control screen for the HP Openview UNIX
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 AUMGPR and AUMAPP 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      Number of cycles or versions of the historical
cycle:       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     Number of cycles or versions of the forecast
cycle:       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).

Database     The database unit identifier(s) (up to 14 units)
ID(s):       that contain the AUMGPR and AUMAPP Files to be
             used with this sample application. If you are
             not sure where the AUMGPR and AUMAPP Files
             reside, type a question mark (?) in this field
             to display a listing of the valid database unit
             identifiers for this sample application.

UNIX         The three options for defining workload groups
Workload     (see section 2.16.1, Usage Guidelines).
Definition
(CAPAPU):

Application  The 1- to 40-character long name for the CAPAPU
unit title:  data element.  You can use this parameter to
             define your workload groupings.  This parameter
             is only available if you specify EXIT for the
             UNIX workload definition (CAPAPU) parameter.

extended     and the Extended Options Menu (Figure 2-17.02)

 Figure 2-17.03.  Common Data Selection Screen - HP Openview UNIX Planning

The Common Data Selection screen (Figure 2-17.03) 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.
             Selection of this parameter is valid only if you
             specify the DETAIL, DAYS, or WEEKS timespan on
             the HP Openview UNIX Resource screen (Figure
             2-17.01).  Leave this parameter blank to include
             data for all hours.

Dayname:     Specify up to five daynames to be included 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 (Figure 2-17.04) 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.
 
Note:  This is a PDF/EDIT screen.  All the PDF/EDIT commands
       are available.
