 Figure 15-12.  Alternate Input File Screen

Workload characterization has the ability to read data from
either CA MICS files or external SAS files.  The Alternate
Input File screen allows you to specify that the input data
for the workload characterization is a SAS file or files, and
input the SAS data set name and up to five SAS files to use
as input to the analysis.  Note that the SAS data must
already be created.
