Figure 3-26. Update Capacity Planning File Screen
The parameters for the Update Capacity Planning File screen
are described below:
Type of The specification for initializing or updating
update: the Capacity Planning database file. If the
resource element file does not exist or if you
plan to overwrite the current file, specify
INITIALIZE. If you wish to add to an existing
file, specify UPDATE.
Note that if you specify INITIALIZE and the file
already exists, all historical and forecasted
observations that you previously placed in the
file will be lost.
Replace The specification for deleting an old file and
existing replacing it with a new file. If you specify
file? INITIALIZE and the file already exists, you must
set this parameter to Y (YES) to delete the old
version and confirm your intent to initialize
and replace. Otherwise, specify N (NO).
Input data The specification for extracting online or
source: archived data. Specify ONLINE if the data that
you wish to extract from the CA MICS files is in
the online portion of the CA MICS database.
Specify ARCHIVE if you wish the data to be read
from a CA MICS history archive tape.
Note: If any of the input files have an input
timespan of DETAIL or DAYS, you may only use
ONLINE as your input data source.
CA MICS file The CA MICS file cycles to be used as input to
cycle(s): loading the resource element file if you
specify ONLINE for Data source.
Archive
generation The archive generations that you wish to use as
number: input if you specify ARCHIVE for data source.
Update The start date for date range selection. If
starting Start date is specified, only historical
date: observations at least as recent as this value
are included in the analysis. The discussion of
the following control parameter describes the
options for controlling date range selection.
Number of The maximum number of days, weeks, or months of
days/weeks/ historical observations to be included in the
months to analysis. Note that once you specify the input
select: file, the field name changes to reflect the
timespan of the input file. When used in
conjunction with the Start date parameter,
several options are available for date range
selection control:
o If you specify only Update start date, all
historical observations at least as recent as
the value specified for Update start date
is selected.
o If you specify both Update start date and
Number of days/weeks/months, the date range
for data selection begins with the specified
value for Start date and extends for the
specified number of days, weeks, or months.
o If you specify only Number of days/weeks/
months, the date range for data selection
includes that number of days, weeks, or
months prior to the submit date.
o If you specify neither parameter, then all
historical observations are selected when
Update type is INITIALIZE. When Update type
is UPDATE, the default of 1 for Number of
days/weeks/months updates the Capacity
Planning database file with data for the
last day/week/month, based on the CA MICS
calendar.
Mode of The specification for executing the resource
execution: element file update. Specify BATCH to submit
the resource element file update as a batch job.
Specify FOREGROUND to execute it immediately as
an online SAS program.
List The specification to execute a PROC CONTENTS and
updated a PROC PRINT of the resource element file to be
file executed after the database is updated. To do
contents? so, specify a Y (YES).
The CA MICS Database Inquiry Execution screen appears showing
the execution parameters that are available before the
dataBASE update job is submitted for processing. This screen
and its control parameters and options are discussed in
detail in Section 1.5.3.5, Executing a File Definition
Inquiry.
