Before you execute your resource element file definition inquiry, first validate it to ensure that you have defined all of the necessary steps. For instance, if you specify more than one file and data element selection step, then the online facility ensures that you also specify a cross-file data element definition step to cause the data from each of the file and data element selection steps to be merged.
You can request validation of your resource element file definition inquiry by typing a V (or VALIDATE) at the Command prompt of the Resource Element File screen and pressing ENTER. Diagnostic messages inform you that the inquiry has been validated or why it cannot be validated so you can correct the inquiry step specifications and request validation again.
If you are unable to validate your inquiry and want to defer correcting the problems until a later time, type END at the Command prompt and press ENTER or (usually) press the PF3 key to save your unvalidated inquiry. The Capacity Planning Data Base Files screen, which displays the resource element file definition inquiries in your catalog, is displayed.
After you validate your resource element file definition inquiry, you have an opportunity to execute the inquiry and update the Capacity Planning database file by typing a Y at the Update Capacity Planning database file prompt and pressing ENTER. The Update Capacity Planning File screen that is shown in Figure 3-26 is displayed. After execution processing is completed, the Resource Element File screen is redisplayed. After you are satisfied with all the specifications, type END at the Command prompt to save your resource element file definition. The Capacity Planning Database File screen is then redisplayed.
