Region workspaces in a z/OS environment

For z/OS® installations workspace tables report data at both a region and server instance lever.

The advantage is that you can view metrics collected at both levels and switch between server instance lever and region level. The following table lists the workspaces that show information and both a region and server level.

All workspaces except the Garbage Collection Analysis workspace report data on both levels. The Garbage collection analysis workspace does not have links to the top-level workspaces.
