2.9.1 Functional Description

The WLM Goal Mode Service Analysis inquiries allow you to
track and analyze the WLM workload resources and throughput
measurements, and to perform first-level problem resolution
analysis against performance problems.  Any supported CA MICS
timespan and summarization pattern can be implemented, a
series of tabular reports can be produced, and a CSV file
that is compatible with CA MICS Q&R can be produced for
subsequent generation of charts and graphs.

The WLM Service Definition report provides a report of the
complete service definitions used to generate the WLM usage
data selected. This report is useful for better understanding
the output produced from the other WLM Service Analysis
queries.

This query uses the following CA MICS files as input:

WLMSEA - Service Class
WLMSDE - Service Definition

The WLM Service Delivery reports provide a summary of WLM
services delivered, WLM service objectives, and resources
consumed, either by SYSPLEX or LPAR. Additionally, the
summarization may be performed by WLM Service Class,
Importance level, Workload, or Report Class.

These queries use the following CA MICS files as input:

WLMSEC - Service Class Resource Consumption or
WLM_EC - Report Class Resource Consumption

WLMSED - Service Class General Execution Delay or
WLM_ED - Report Class General Execution Delay

WLMSEA - Service Class
WLMSDE - Service Definition

WLMSEC - Service Class Resource Consumption
WLM_EC - Report Class Resource Consumption

The LPAR Service Delivery reports provide a summary of LPAR
processor resource usage, WLM service delivered, and workload
resources consumed, by LPAR. Additionally, the summarization
may be performed by WLM Service Class, Importance level,
Workload, or Report Class.

These queries use the following CA MICS files as input:

HARCPU - CPU Activity File
WLMSEC - Service Class Resource Consumption or
WLM_EC - Report Class Resource Consumption

WLMSED - Service Class General Execution Delay or
WLM_ED - Report Class General Execution Delay

WLMSEA - Service Class
WLMSDE - Service Definition

WLMSEC - Service Class Resource Consumption
WLM_EC - Report Class Resource Consumption

The range of data that can be reported from a particular
CA MICS database depends on the timespans that were defined
for these files and the number of cycles defined in each
timespan.  If you are not familiar with the generation
options for the database unit containing the MVS HAR or WLM
Information Areas, ask your CA MICS System Administrator for
this information.
