19.8.3 System Load Test Phase The purpose of the system load
test is to simulate a number of terminal users who are demanding
system resources simultaneously. The system load tests, directed
by the file UETLOAD00.DAT, create a number of detached processes
that execute various command procedures. Each process simulates
a user logged in at a terminal; the commands within each
procedure are the same types of commands that a user enters from
a terminal. The load test creates the detached processes in
quick succession, and the processes generally execute their
command procedures simultaneously. The effect on the system is
analogous to an equal number of users concurrently issuing
commands from terminals. In this way, the load test creates an
environment that is similar to normal system use. The load test
uses the logical name LOADS to determine the number of detached
processes to create. When you initiate the UETP command
procedure, it prompts for th
