Benutz54.ZIP
Transfer the files Beschr54.ZIP and Benutz54.ZIP
in binary mode
to the desired PC, e.g. by ftp or rapid filer.
-2-
The WinZip files contain WORD-for-Windows files. Where
each chapter is a seperate file named <chapter-number>.DOC.
With WORD the document may be printed as usual.
2* Currently there are no COPE V5.4C manuals available
in English.
The following additional documentation is also recommended:
BS2000 Performance Handbook
SM2 User Guide (for COSMOS as of OSD V2.0)
COSMOS Descriptions
2 Technical information
New and extended software functions are described in chapter 3.
2.1 Resource requirements
Approximately 12000 PAM pages are required for installation.
The file SINLIB.COPE.054 (approximately 6000 PAM pages) can be
deleted after installation. During evaluation of COSMOS
measurement files, work files are created which can be 500 to
5000 PAM pages in size depending on the number of events and
tasks to be evaluated.
COSMOS evaluations require a high level of calculation time,
depending on the measurements to be evaluated.
Hardware
Siemens System 7.500
9750,9755 terminals and others
User address space: approximately 24 MB
2.2 Software configuration
The following software is required for running the product:
BS2000-GA (basic configuration) as of OSD V1.0
FHS as of V8.0
TOM.DOC text module
2.3 Product installation
2* All files required for running COPE V5.4C and the procedures
required for installation are supplied in a single LMS library
named:
SINLIB.COPE.054.
The installation procedure provided in this library is
"COP54.INST" and can be called as follows:
/DO SINLIB.COPE.054(COP54.INST)
If an older COPE version already exists under this ID,
it can generally be overwritten as COPE V5.4C includes
all functions of older COPE versions.
Once the installation procedure has executed, all COPE
files should be available under the selected ID.
-3-
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.

2.5 Obsolete functions
The following CPU types are no longer supported
7.521, 7.531, 7.536, 7.541, 7.551, 7.552, 7.561, 7.571
7.722, 7.730, 7.738, 7.740, 7.748, 7.750, 7.755, 7.760, 7.762

2* H121-x, 7.580-x1
2.6 Incompatibilities
not applicable
2.7 Restrictions
The COSMOS evaluator can only process COSMOS measurement value
2* files as of BS2000/OSD-BC V1.0 (COSMOS V11.0)
2.8 Procedure in the event of errors
If errors occur, the following information must be
recorded for diagnostic purposes:
- description of the function that caused the error
- name of the module in which the error occurred
- number of the statement in which the error was reported
- type of error
- name of the model in which the error occurred
Please send the following with your error report:
- User library
- If an error has occurred in list generation, the file:
"POLL.OUTPUT.ddhhmm"
- If an error occurred during COSMOS evaluation, the
following additional files:
COSMOS measurement value file
<identity>.COPE.LST.<name>
<identity>.COPE.COS.<name>
<identity>.COPE.LOG.<name>

3. Software extensions
The following extensions and enhancements are implemented over
the previous version COPE 5.3A:
- Hardware master data updating (new CPUs, disks)
The following new hardware can be modeled:
CPU : S110-x, S115-x, S135-xxx
S150-xxx, S160-xxx
1* S140-xxx, S170-xxx
SR2000-Bx
2* SR2000-Cx, SX130-xxx, S120-xxx
3* SX100-Ax/Bx, SX140-xxx, S145-xxx, S180-xxx
4* S190-xxx , S155-xxx
5* SX150-xxx (all 9 Typs )
Disk : D34251-21/41, MP47, MP97
2* FP38
5* DMX1000, DMX2000, DMX3000
net controller: HNC 91850 and 91851
- Modelling the SR2000 Systems
The release V5.4 supports the following specific functions
of the SR2000-Ax/-Bx systems:
. Utilization and number of needed SINIX-Prozessors for
the Input/Output workload of BUS peripheral devices
. Utilization and number of needed Controller (DCS2/HIOS)
and multibusbridges (MBP) for the Input/output workload of BUS
peripheral devices
- Improved modeling of I/O subsystems with cache
From a COSMOS measurement the cache hit ratio is build
for the model. Different actions are created for read and
write access. On this base it's very simple to change the
hit ratio for the model.
COPE calculate the access time for the I/O with included
the data format (K2,NK4), channel type and the raid level.
1* - Modeling Transaktion in seperate TYPE of a Group
1*
1* .From a COSMOS measurement the resource requirements is build
1* for each Transaktion of a UTM-TAC. The output of the COPE
1* cosmos monitor can be used for evaluation purposes. The list
1* contines the monitoring values gathered for each TAC.
1*
2* .The utility COPV54.CSMODTA is now obsolete. Create model
2* with TACs to a TYPE is now integreated as function in
2* COPE.
-6-
2* - Modeling with PAV (Parallel Access Volume)
2* From COSMOS measurements PAV DEVICES are recognized
2* and considered with the structure of model.
2* The computation of the I/O waiting time is realized
2* dependent on the number of existing alias DEVICES.
2* In the model an even distribution of the accesses
2* to the PAV DEVICES takes place. Thus the extent
2* of utilization of individual volumes in the
2* model can deviate from extent of utilization
2* with the measurement.
4. Hardware support
COPE V5.4B can run on all CPUs supported by BS2000
1* as of OSD V1.0 with 24 MB of user address space.
