3.2.4.1 Relative Importance Analysis Control Panel

Relative Importance Analysis is one of the Performance
Manager options available through the CA MICS Workstation
Facility (MWF).  Chapter One of this guide explains how to
use MWF to reach the Performance Manager options and
subsequently the Relative Importance control panel shown in
Figure 3-27.

 Figure 3-27.  Relative Importance Analysis

Some of the parameters on this panel are required, while
others are optional.  Each parameter is discussed next.

CA MICS       The CA MICS database file containing the
file:         historical observations for the Analysis file
              used in the Relative Importance Analysis
              application.  If you are uncertain of the files
              or file names available in your CA MICS
              database, type a question mark (?) in the field
              and a selection list will be displayed.

Database:     The single-character database identifier for
              this file at your site.

Cycle(s)      The number of cycles to be specified. For
              example, we specified two cycles to analyze two
              days worth of data.

Data          The selection criteria for Date, Hour, Zone,
selection:    and SYSID to subset the data you are examining.
              You must enter date values in the ddmonyy
              format.

Specify       The name of the dependent element used in the
Dependent     Relative Importance Analysis application.
Element
              If you are uncertain of the elements available
              in your CA MICS file, type a question mark (?)
              in the field and a selection list will be
              displayed.

Specify       The independent elements that you select for
Independent   the analysis.
Elements
              If you are uncertain of the elements available
              in your CA MICS file, type a question mark (?)
              in the field and a selection list will be
              displayed.

Specify       The specification for selecting extended
extended      options.  Select this option if you wish to
options:      specify additional parameters.
