Use the Workload Data Import dialog box to:
To restore data from a memory file (ECP_name.MEMORY for OpenVMS, ecp_name.memory for UNIX), choose Restore from the File menu. The software reconstructs memory from any modified .MERG and .CLAS files. The configuration is displayed in the Network/System Configuration panel and the Workload Data Import dialog box is dismissed.

Each .MERG or .merg file can be associated with a domain. You can assign the Domain name by selecting the Data pulldown menu in the Workload Data Import window, then selecting the Domain menu item. This displays a Domain List selection dialog box in which you can enter and select domains. The default domain is Global.

To import collected and merged data for a system from a .MERG or .merg file:
The file names are displayed in the Files list box.
The file name is displayed in the Selection field and the configuration is displayed in the Network/System Configuration panel if the data is from an OpenVMS system. If the data is from a UNIX system, a dialog box appears that requests the type of CPU. After you specify the CPU type, additional dialog boxes appear requesting the disk type for each disk in the system. Once you have defined the CPU and disks, the configuration is displayed in the Network/System Configuration panel.
When importing three or more .MERG files, a dialog box appears showing the name of the current file and its status during the import.
If you have previously imported network data and want to import a merge file:
The file names are displayed in the Files list box.
The file name is displayed in the Selection field and the configuration is displayed in the Network/System Configuration panel immediately if the data is from an OpenVMS system. If the data is from a UNIX system, a dialog box appears that requests the type of CPU. After you specify the CPU type, additional dialog boxes appear requesting the disk type for each disk in the system. Once you have defined the CPU and disks, the configuration is displayed in the Network/System Configuration panel.

To model the extended Local Area Network (LAN) environment and provide multiprotocol support beyond the VMScluster protocol communications, you can add network data to the measured data that was collected to determine the effects of network traffic on a model. However, you must have previously created a .BASE file that includes the network information. Refer to the PerfCap Capacity Planner Reference Guide for information about how to create a network .BASE file.
When you have created and stored a network .BASE file, follow these steps:
The file names are displayed in the Files list box.
The file name is displayed in the Selection field and the configuration is displayed in the Network/System Configuration panel.

You can use the .CLAS files to restore workload classification schemes and merged data on a node by node basis, rather than restoring all nodes used in a previous session.
To restore workload classification schemes and data on a node by node basis:
