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.

2.4Product 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.
