Fujitsu BS2000 User Manual

 
         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.
