Tandem Capacity Model (TCM) Manual

Saving Apportionment Tables
If you do not save the apportionment tables, they are automatically saved when you save the entire
model. However, it is recommended that you save the tables as soon as they are created.
The Save As command allows you to change the name of the apportionment tables. The Save
command does not. You will probably want to change the name of the tables if you are modifying
the tables of an existing model rather than simply modifying the default tables of a new model.
To save Apportionment Tables with their existing names:
1. Select File > Save.
2. The TCM Save dialog box appears. Select the desired option and click Continue.
• Select Workload Apportionment Model files to save everything that is open in this session.
• Select Apportionment Tables to save the apportionment tables. This option is available
only when apportionment tables are open in the current session.
• Select Capacity History to save the capacity history file. This option is available only when
a capacity history file is open in the current session.
3. TCM saves the files.
For more information, see “Saving the Tables” (page 78).
To save Apportionment Tables with a different name:
1. Select File > Save As.
2. The TCM Save As dialog box appears. Select the appropriate option and click Continue.
• Select Workload Apportionment Model files to save everything that is open in this session.
• Select Apportionment Tables to save the apportionment tables. This option is available
only when apportionment tables are open in the current session.
• Select Capacity History to save the capacity history file. This option is available only when
capacity history files are open in the current session.
3. In the TCM Save As dialog box, enter a new name to replace the default name displayed
and then click Yes.
Default file names contain the first eight characters of the name of your application, or model,
with an .AWA extension. The file is saved with an .AWA extension in your folder. For example,
in the tutorial’s Example application, the apportionment tables file is named EXAMPLE.AWA.
4. TCM saves the files.
For more information, see “Saving the Tables” (page 78).
Saving a Performance Model
You can save a Performance model with the same name or a different name.
To save the Performance model with its existing name:
1. Select Save or Save As from the File tab.
A dialog box containing a list of files in the Excel session appears.
2. To save the model in a location other than the TCM custom directory, click the Browse button
next to the Performance Model name.
Ensure that the check box next to the Browse button of the Performance model is checked.
Click the Save button to save the model.
To save the Performance model with a different name:
