Viewing the Plan Evaluation Summary Report


You can view the changes executed on a CPC, LPAR or workload in a plan. Whenever you make changes to objects within a plan, you can view the results in the Plan Evaluation Summary Report.

To view the Plan Evaluation Summary Report

  1. Use either of the following methods to access the report:
  • In the Actions pane, click the View plan evaluation results button (evaluation plan icon.PNG).
  • After executing a change in a plan, click Yes when prompted to view the evaluation results.

The Planning tool opens a Plan Evaluation Summary Report with rows that list MLC Products and columns that display relevant data as shown in the following figure:

If the data in a column can be sorted, when you hover over the column header, the header is highlighted.

The columns contain data similar to the Monthly Summary Report. For a description of each column, see Quick-tour-of-the-Monthly-Summary-Report.

The following table describes the columns that are unique to this report:

Column header

Description

Cost Change

The change in cost resulting from the changes made to the plan

Old R4HA First Peak (MSU)

R4HA value in the cost model that was used to build this plan

The old value designates the starting value before the changes were executed.

Old R4HA First Peak Date

Date and time of the old R4HA Peak (MSU)

The Cost Change column details any change to the cost of the MLC Product caused by the LPAR move. A cost reduction is indicated by a green triangle ( GUID-3C64AD78-F7EA-4708-986B-DE70AD18D24E-low.png) and the amount of the gain. A cost increase is indicated by a red triangle ( GUID-DC4CA6B6-80A3-467E-87C3-91CC3A2B2C31-low.png) and the amount of the loss.

You can scroll to the bottom of the report to view a tally of the gain, loss, and difference.

Note
