Tandem Capacity Model (TCM) Manual

MeasTCM Syntax
MeasTCM has the following syntax:
[ RUN ] MEASTCM / [ run-option [ , run-option ] ] / cntlfile
RUN
is the TACL RUN command. Do not specify RUN if MeasTCM is installed in the
$SYSTEM.SYSTEM subvolume.
run-option
is one of the following. This list describes commonly used RUN options. For a complete list of
RUN options, see the TACL Reference Manual.
CPU cpu-number
specifies the number of the CPU in which MeasTCM is to run. cpu-number is an integer in
the range of 0 through 15. If you omit this option, MeasTCM runs in the same processor
as TACL. (If you omit the CPU option and a $CMON process exists, $CMON might specify
a CPU other than the one in which the current TACL process is running. For more information
about $CMON, see the Guardian Programmer’s Guide.)
NAME [ $process-name ]
specifies the name you are assigning to MeasTCM. Specify the $processname as an
alphanumeric string of 1 to 5 characters, the first of which must be a letter. For network
access, the name must be no more than four characters. If you omit this parameter, the
MeasTCM process is not named and has only a CPU number and process ID.
NOWAIT
specifies that TACL does not wait while the program runs. TACL returns a command input
prompt after sending the startup message to the new process. If you omit this option, TACL
pauses while MeasTCM runs. Use this option to run MeasTCM in background mode for a
batch environment.
PRI priority
specifies the run priority of the MeasTCM process. Specify priority as an integer in the
range of 1 to 199. Processes with higher numbers are executed first. If you omit this option,
MeasTCM runs at a priority of 1 less than that of the TACL process. If a $CMON process
exists and you omit the PRI option, $CMON might specify a priority other than 1 less than
your TACL process. For more information about $CMON, see the Guardian Programmer’s
Guide.
cntlfile
specifies the name of your control file.
Example
A sample RUN command follows:
1> MEASTCM cntlfile
Run Summary Report
After execution, MeasTCM displays a Run Summary Report, as shown in Figure 11 (page 62).
The Run Summary Report is also listed at the end of the Process Category Audit report if you
requested one. The report shows:
• The Measure input file summary (including the start and stop times, the system name and the
intervals, and any optional advisory messages for each Measure data file specified)
• The user-specified CSVLO and CSVHI values, if any, and the actual low and high values
• The number of CSV files you requested and the actual number of CSV files generated
• The start and stop time for which data was extracted from the Measure file, the name of the
CSV file, and the percentage linkage for each CSV file generated
