Using the drill-down levels in the MLC Monthly Summary Report, you can analyze:

  • A specific CPC to compare the R4HA MSU Utilizations for each MLC Product. For more information see CPC level.
  • A particular MLC Product to compare the R4HA MSU Utilizations for each LPAR on which the MLC product is active. For more information see MLC Product level.

Using the hyperlinks available at each level, you can:

MLC Product level

The following figure shows a sample of an MLC 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.

Note

If any of the LPARs in this report contains mobile transaction activity, an additional column details the aggregated MSU reduction values. For more information see Working-with-combined-MSU-reduction-data.
