Viewing Job/STC Reports for workloads

When viewing aggregated workloads across LPARs, you can generate and view Job/STC Reports that show details about the 50 most active jobs contributing to the peak R4HA. The report displays the contribution of each job to the R4HA peak in each of the 4 hours that comprise the peak interval.

To view Job/STC Reports for MLC product workloads

1. Using the hyperlinks, drill down to the MLC product level of the product that you want to analyze by performing one of the following actions:
   • From the MLC Monthly Summary Report, find the MLC product from the list and click the corresponding R4HA MSU Utilization preview chart.
   • From the CPC level, find the MLC product from the list and click the corresponding R4HA MSU Utilization preview chart.
2. From Workload Reports list, click the workload type that you want to view.The Workload Views level for the MLC product is displayed.
   

3. From the list of LPARs, select the LPAR or LPARs that you want to include in the Job/STC Report.The Job/STC Report displays a list of only the top 50 jobs that contributed to the R4HA peak. Thus, the list of the top 50 jobs will vary depending on your selection of LPARs. As you add LPARs to be included in the report, you subsequently add the jobs on these LPARs to the set of jobs that will be evaluated for inclusion in the report.

   After you have made your selection of LPARs to evaluate in the report, this set of jobs is then analyzed for their contribution to the peak R4HA and for inclusion in the list.

   Tip

   You can widen or narrow the set of jobs to be included in the report by your selection of LPARs. Furthermore, the available workloads might change, depending on which LPARs have been selected.

4. Click Refresh Workload list.

   Warning

   Note

   Each time you change the selection of LPARs, you are changing the perspective of the Workload View. Whenever this perspective is changed, you must refresh the Workload List so Cost Management can recalculate and display the chart based on your new selection of LPARs.

5. Perform one of the following actions:

   • To view a Job/STC Report for all workloads, click View Job/STC Report for all workloads.
   • To view a report of selected workloads, select the workloads to include in the report from the list, click View Job/STC Report for selected workloads.

   Similar to the selection of LPARs, the selection of workloads includes all the jobs contained in the selected workloads that run on the selected LPARs. The subsequent list of the top 50 jobs that contributed to the peak R4HA will vary depending on your selections.

   Tips

   When you select a workload, its MSU utilization is added to the charting area. By comparing this workload's contribution to the peak utilization for the entire workload (indicated by the red dot), you can determine if this workload contributed significant MSU utilization to the peak R4HA.

   When you have identified the workloads that contributed to the peak, by viewing a report of the top 50 jobs that consumed this workload utilization, you can identify the jobs that contributed to the peak and were a major factor in the MLC product cost.

6. After you click on a link, Job/STC Report is generated based on your selections.

   

7. Click Back to return to the Workloads View.
