Abstract
The current status of an implementation of a methodology relating load, capacity and service for IBM MVS computer systems is presented. This methodology encompasses systems whose workloads include batch, time sharing and transaction processing. The implementation includes workload classification, mix representation and analysis, automatic benchmarking, and exhaust point forecasting.
