I use ESAMAP (Velocity) also. Since I do capacity planning for VM and VSE using different monitor/reporting tools, I massage data from reports on each platform (average CPU per hour) using REXX and port data to a predefined EXCEL spreadsheet. From the spreadsheet I can chart CPU by hour, day, weekday, weekend, month, and year. If you would like I can send you and example of the spreadsheet.

I understand that there are a couple popular z/VM performance monitors. What I'd like to better understand is what you may do to automatically collect that data and feed it into something for capacity planning, forecasting, etc. Regards, Pat Downs [EMAIL PROTECTED]
