Defining CPU service unit conversion factors

The CPU Service Unit Conversion Factors definition allows you to specify a conversion factor for each individual image.

About this task

When you open the CPU Service Unit Conversion Factors panel CICS PA calculates and displays a conversion factor for the current image. You can use the following line actions to insert, delete, and update individual entries in this panel:
I
Insert a conversion factor.
D
Delete a conversion factor.
U
(Use) Apply the conversion factor for the current Image to this entry.
In this way you can enter any image name. It does not have to be defined in personal systems or shared systems.

Alternatively, you can press the Prompt key in the Image Name field to apply this factor or another value to multiple selected images.

Procedure

  1. Select option 8 Resource Definitions from the CICS PA Primary Option Menu.
  2. Select option 4 SU Conversion Factors. The CPU Service Unit Conversion Factors panel is displayed:

    This panel lists the images defined in Personal System and Shared System definitions that are available for selection. If the same image is defined in both Personal Systems and Shared Systems the description is taken from the Personal System definition. Any images that are already listed on the CPU Service Unit Conversion Factors panel are omitted.

  4. Type line action S to select one or more images for which you want to provide a CPU SU conversion factor.
  5. Enter an option number to specify the conversion factor for the selected images.
    1
    Do not initialize the selected images. This leaves the conversion factor for the selected images blank so that you can specify them individually in the CPU Service Unit Conversion Factors panel.
    2
    Initialize the selected images using the conversion factor value for the current system.
    3
    Initialize the selected images using a specified conversion factor value that you provide. The value must be a decimal number or integer in the range 1 - 999999999 (nine 9s).
  6. Press Enter to apply the conversion factor to the selected images.
  7. Press Exit (F3) to complete your selection and return to the CPU Service Unit Conversion Factors panel.
