  *                         (MVSPM System CPUMT) report displays *

  *                         users, rather than weighted          *

  ****************************************************************
  1. The LPAR Performance Analysis (MVSPM System CPUMT) report is
     sourcing Batch, STC and TSO user data from the MVSPM_SYSTEM_H
     table. The values are summed, instead of calculating a
     weighted average.
  2. In some TCP/IP reports, Cognos is unable to display the
     entire list of local ports.
  3. The Simulated LPAR section of the Workload Simulation Detail
     report does not display Scenario, CPU Model or Sub Models.
  4. The Framework Manager Package has been set to hidden within
     the IZPCA reports folder.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• 1. The LPAR Performance Analysis (MVSPM System CPUMT) report is
     modified to source the data from the MVSPM_SYSTEM_HV view.
     The Batch, STC and TSO user values are calculated as weighted
     averages by sample count.
  2. An additional filter is added to the TCP/IP reports,
     allowing the user to list ports within a range, manually
     enter a port number, or search for local ports before
     selecting.
  3. Columns for Scenario Name, CPU Model, Sub Model CP and Sub
     Model zIIP are added to the table displayed in the Simulated
     LPAR section of the Workload Simulation Detail report.
  4. The Framework Manager Package in the IZPCA reports folder
     now always visible to users by default.
