Understanding Country Multiplex Pricing reports
This topic describes how to analyze the MLC Product family data in an MLC Monthly Summary report using Country Multiplex Pricing.
An MLC Monthly Summary report with CMP provides data that you can use to:
- Verify that the Multiplex Peak MSUs are lower than or equal to the sum of the individual CPC First Peak MSUs
- Determine which workloads are making contributions to the Multiplex peak
How to determine which workloads are contributing to the Multiplex peak
By clicking on the R4HA MSU Utilization chart for the MLC Product family, you can access a report for all CPCs that contains hyperlinks to the Workload Reports. For this example, assume that you clicked the DB2 for z/OS All family chart to display the following information:
The Workload Report links are located in the lower left of the console. The Workload Reports can provide insight into which workloads contributed to the multiplex peak that determined the cost for the month.
Clicking the Workloads by Importance link displays the corresponding report.
The following figure shows a sample Workload by Importance report:
In this example, the charting area displays the contribution of Imp5 across all CPCs in the Multiplex (shown in mauve). The chart also shows the 4HRA MSU utilization across all CPCs for the selected MLC Product Family or MLC Product Version (indicated by the grey line). By clicking on the multiplex peak (indicated by the red dot outlined in black), the legend on the right will display the MSU utilization for the Imp5 workload for that interval. Clicking anywhere on the chart will update the legend with that interval's MSU utilization value.
