Using statistics accumulated by the Statistics facility, the Simulation and Forecasting facility simulates the actions of the Control-M monitor under the conditions specified in simulation parameters.
The Simulation and Forecasting facility enables you to forecast anticipated job load for a specified time in the future, and to forecast the effects that possible changes to the system might have.
The Simulation and Forecasting facility can improve the efficiency of your site. It can help with resource and configuration decisions, and it can help with the planning of workload scheduling to achieve maximum utilization of resources.
The Simulation and Forecasting facility is described in the chapter on the Simulation and Forecasting facility in the Control-M for z/OS User Guide.
The facility utilizes the Simulation and Forecasting procedure that can be activated by online utility CTMCSIM, which is run by Option M3 in the IOA Utility menu. This utility, which can also activate the Tape Pull List procedure, is described in the IOA Utilities chapter of the Control-M for z/OS User Guide.
