The "COPEV54" runtime procedure must then still be
adapted to the respective user ID or BS2000 system.
This applies to the IDs for COPE, MFHSROUT and the
TOM.DOC text module.
Further information is provided in Appendix 2
(page A2-1ff) of the COPE Benutzerhandbuch.
2.4 Product use
COPE is a tool for performance prognosis. It calculates models
of real or planned BS2000 applications and determines:
- utilization
- throughputs
- response times
COPE models the performance behavior of the DP system and is
suitable for performance analysis and capacity planning in the
areas of:
- development and planning of new DP methods and concepts
- DP production planning (load distribution)
- DP investment planning (configuration comparisons, load
increase)
COPE is an interactive program system. The inputs can be
acquired quickly and specifically and modified as required.
This applies to:
- the central hardware configuration
- the first level of the data communication network
- the complete software configuration
The effects on performance for both software and hardware
modifications can be seen immediately on the screen.
If a real BS2000 application can be measured with COSMOS as a
reference, COPE then has an interface for evaluating and
modeling on the basis of the measurement data.
A list documenting all inputs and results can be printed out.
All generated models can be archived in a library for later
use.
