Tandem Capacity Model (TCM) Manual

Close (SF5)
The Close option allows you to close all the WA model files, a selected apportionment table, or
a Capacity History database. If you close the WA model, you return to the TCM Initial menu.
Delete
The Delete option allows you to delete any file on the workstation. If you select this option, it gives
you a list of all the files in the current folder of the same type as the file you are viewing. For
example, if you are looking at an apportionment table, you will get a list of all apportionment
table files in the current folder. Select the file you want to delete and then click Delete. After
confirmation, the file is deleted.
Exit (SF6)
The Exit option ends the TCM session and returns you to Windows.
Find Tab
The Find tab, which can be selected by pressing function key F7, lists the available Workload
Apportionment model screens that can be displayed.
If more than one screen of the selected type is open, a dialog displays the available choices. For
example, if two apportionment tables are open, a list of the tables that are currently open from
which you can choose appears.
Screens that are not open in your current session appear dimmed on the tab.
Update Tab
The Update tab lists all the update operations that you can perform on a Workload Apportionment
model. Access to some options is limited to users with a TCM administrator or super-user
authorization level.
NOTE: After you use one of the options on the Update tab, you need to use the Calculate Now
option from the Options tab (F12) to see the effect on the TCM screens.
Load Category Data (F3)
The Load Category Data option loads selected performance data into the Workload Apportionment
model. The data must already have been captured on the NonStop host system using Measure,
and the CSV file created by MeasTCM must have been downloaded to the PC. After you select
this option, a dialog prompts you to specify the file names you want to access, and whether to
display a list of .CSV files or to update history. If you select the Display List of .CSV Files option,
a second dialog box appears with a list of the files in the current folder with .CSV extensions. You
can select the appropriate sample file from this list or enter another name.
Workload Apportionment (SF10)
The Workload Apportionment option is used to create default apportionment tables and to change
current apportionment tables. Only users with a TCM administrator or superuser authorization level
have access to this option.
