IT26471: MQ queue managers registered with the ICP Metering Service show an incorrect number of cores when viewed as a group

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When multiple MQ queue managers are registered with the ICP
  metering service it is possible to view graphs that display the
  number of Virtual Processor Cores (VPCs) in use by each queue
  manager, or the number of VPCs used by the entire group. When
  viewing the graph for the entire group, the number of cores
  displayed is incorrect. Graphs for individual queue managers
  display the correct data. Reports generated and downloaded from
  the ICP metering service are unaffected and show the correct
  number of VPCs for the group. The title of the column for the
  total number of cores has been correct to say 'total core
  hours'.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users of queue managers registered with the ICP Metering Service
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  The MQ Reporting Service component did not correctly present VPC
  information such that it could be collated across a group of
  queue managers.
  
  Additionally, the information published by the MQ monitoring
  service omitted to provide the necessary label metadata for the
  "Virtual Processor Cores" field. This resulted in the values
  being labelled as "total undefined hours" in reports downloaded
  from ICP.
  

Problem conclusion

• The MQ Reporting Service component within the MQ queue manager
  has been updated to correctly report and label VPC information.
