Tandem Capacity Model (TCM) Manual

5. Select the capacity history file from which to select the CSV sample and click OK.
TCM Expert picks the best CSV sample.
6. To load this CSV sample into the Performance model, click Create.
TCM loads the CSV sample into the Performance model and displays the Capacity Baseline
Plan for the CSV sample. You are now in the Performance model and have left TCM Expert.

Printing a Chart
TCM creates charts in color. Before printing a chart, check that you have updated the Performance
Model data by selecting Options > Calculate Now (F9).
To print a chart:
1. Create a chart of the Planning Timeline model.
2. Update the Performance model data by selecting Options > Calculate Now (F9).
3. Activate the chart to be printed by selecting the Find menu or the tabs at the bottom of the
window.
4. Once the chart appears on the screen, select Print > Print.
Returning to TCM From a Chart
To return to TCM from a chart, select the screen name you want to view.
Running MeasTCM
Once you have edited the control file, MeasTCM has the information it needs to summarize the
specified Measure data and create the CSV files for downloading to TCM on the workstation.
To process the data, run MeasTCM. The length of time processing takes depends on the amount
of Measure data being summarized, the number of process categories defined, and the priority
given.
During run time, MeasTCM creates these files:
• If you specify a report to be made, an intermediate file might be created if FastSort needs
one. This file is automatically deleted when processing is finished.
• The CSV files required by TCM.
To run MeasTCM:
1. Set the optional EXECUTION-LOG parameter:
1> [ PARAM EXECUTION-LOG { HP-file-name } ]
{ define-file }
The EXECUTION-LOG parameter must be set when you run MeasTCM with the NOWAIT
option. (See Step 2.) The parameter value controls the destination of the MeasTCM
informational messages and messages issued by the COBOL85 runtime library routines. If
there is no EXECUTION-LOG parameter, messages are sent to the home terminal.
2. Run MeasTCM by entering the following command. This example assumes that MeasTCM is
installed in the $SYSTEM.SYSTEM subvolume.
2> MEASTCM [ / NOWAIT / ] cntlfile
cntlfile is the name of your control file.
If MeasTCM is not installed in the $SYSTEM. SYSTEM subvolume, specify RUN and enter the
fully qualified file name of the MEASTCM program:
2> RUN $DATA.ATTG.MEASTCM [ / NOWAIT / ] cntlfile
For detailed information about MeasTCM syntax, see “MeasTCM Syntax” (page 61).
