Drill-down levels


You can access the drill-down levels by using the hyperlinks in the Monthly Summary Report.

Using the drill-down levels, you can analyze:

  • A specific CPC to compare the R4HA MSU Utilizations for each MLC Product (See CPC level)
  • A particular MLC Product to compare the R4HA MSU Utilizations for each LPAR on which the MLC product is active (See MLC Product level)

Using the hyperlinks available at each level, you can:

CPC level

The following figure shows a sample of a Monthly Summary Report's CPC level that lists the MLC Products running under a particular CPC and the R4HA MSU Utilization data.

Some of the columns in the CPC level contain hyperlinks to details or views of the data as described in the following table:

Warning

Note

The drill-down data is displayed in the context of the selected CPC.

Column

Hyperlink

Description

R4HA MSU Utilization

Any chart in the column

Hyperlinks to the R4HA MSU Utilization details for each LPAR on which this MLC product is running

% of total cost

Any percentage in the breakdown

Opens a display of a bar chart that graphically represents the cost distribution details for all MLC Products on the CPC

MLC Product level

The following figure shows a sample of a Monthly Summary Report's MLC Product level that lists the LPARs on which the MLC Product is running and the R4HA MSU Utilization data. The information in this drill-down view is determined by the CPC context and the MLC Product context of the hyperlink.

Warning

Note

If any of the LPARs in this report contains mobile transaction activity, an additional column details the aggregated MSU reduction values. (See Working-with-combined-MSU-reduction-data.)

Column header

Description

R4HA MSU Utilization Weight

Percentage this LPAR contributed to the CPC First Peak R4HA value.

LPAR at MSU R4HA First Peak

Value is determined by the sum of R4HA of the LPARs on which this MLC product was running during this interval.

The following table lists the columns that contain data hyperlinks and describes the details of what you can access by using the link:

Data Column

Hyperlink

Description

R4HA MSU Utilization

% of total cost

Any percentage in the breakdown

Displays a bar chart that graphically represents the distribution of the R4HA First Peak value for the context CPC and MLC Product by individual LPARs

Aggregated Workload Views
