13.2.6.1.2 Resource Component Analysis Report

The figures below show the Resource Component Analysis
Reports for this case study.

As this report shows, the DATABASE and ONLINE workloads are
the largest contributors to the overall processor usage.  The
next most relevant workloads are BATCH and TSO. Of these, TSO
is interesting in that while it ranks fourth in terms of
relative importance, its average CPU usage value is rather
small, less than 18 minutes per week. Other workloads that
are much higher in CPU usage rank less, perhaps indicating a
relationship between the TSO workload and others, the
DATABASE workload being the likely candidate.  The analyst
should do additional research regarding this result to better
understand the overall affect TSO may have on the capacity
planning effort.

 Figure 13-2.03  Resource Component Analysis Report - first execution

For a second execution, only the DATABASE, ONLINE, BATCH and
TSO workloads are used. The report produced is shown next.
Notice that the Importance weight values have changed as one
would expect, but that the weight for the TSO workload has
increased, indicating a stronger relationship with the other
workloads. Again, additional analysis may be indicated before
making any final conclusions regarding the workloads and
their makeup.
