2.9.3.4 WLM Service Delivered Summary Report


The WLM Service Delivered Summary report tracks information
concerning CEC (Central Electronic Complex) and LP (Logical
Partition) configuration and LP processor resource usage, as
well as providing an overview of each workload's CP (Central
Processor) and special purpose processor resource
utilization.  The report can be presented at a monthly,
weekly, daily, or hourly level, and can be summarized either
by WLM Importance, WLM Workload, WLM Service Class or WLM
Report Class.  Additionally, a CSV file can be optionally
created for later use by Q&R to generate charts and graphs.


REPORT OPTIONS

Standard data selection options are supported as well as
SYSID selection and external data selection.  Additionally,
input data may be further filtered by either SVC (Service)
Class or RPT (Report) Class.  These options are discussed in
Section 2.2.7.


DATA ELEMENTS

The elements reported are grouped into the following
sections:

  o  CEC Configuration Summary
  o  LP Configuration Summary
  o  LP Processor Usage Summary
  o  Workload Usage Summary


CEC CONFIGURATION SUMMARY

This section presents basic information concerning the CEC
(Central Electronic Complex) where the LPAR being measured
resides.

CEC Model     The model of the CEC under study, a
Definition:   concatenation of the CA MICS data elements
              CPUMOD (Processor Model Family) and
              CPCMODID (CPC Model Identifier).

CEC Serial    The serial number of the CEC, taken from
Number:       CA MICS data element PRSMCEC (PR/SM LPAR
              Central Complex).

Percent CEC   The total busy of all shared LPs in the CEC,
Busy:         expressed as a percentage and derived from the
              CA MICS data elements PRSMTTDT (Total Dispatch
              Time) and DURATION.

Shared CPs    The number of shared CPs defined within the CEC
Defined in    available for use in LPs, derived from CA MICS
CEC:          data elements PRSMACP (Avg CP Processors in
              Complex) and PRSMADP (Avg Dedicated
              Processors).

Avg zAAP      The average number of System z9 Application
Processors    Assist Processors (zAAPs) assigned for use by
in CEC:       the PR/SM LPAR feature, derived from CA MICS
              data element PRSMAZP (Avg zAAP Processors in
              Complex) and DURATION. This data element is
              valid only for System z9 and later servers.

Avg zIIP      The average number of System z9 Integrated
Processors    Information Processors (zIIPs) assigned for use
in CEC:       by the PR/SM LPAR feature, derived from CA MICS
              data element PRSMASP (Avg zIIP Processors in
              Complex) and DURATION. This data element is
              valid only for System z9 and later servers.

LP CONFIGURATION SUMMARY

This section presents measurement data about capacity sizing
and processor resource usage within the LP being reported on.

Phys. CPU     The number of CPU service units that can be
Adjust.       expended in one clock second by CPs in this LP,
Factor:       from CA MICS data element CPUSUSEC (Physical
              CPU Adjustment Factor). This value is used to
              calculate the processor usage in MSUs, millions
              of service units per hour.

MSUs Avail.   The theoretical maximum capacity of the LP
to Image:     under study in MSUs per hour, from CA MICS data
              element CPUSUAVL and based on the CEC model and
              the number of CPs defined to the LP under
              measurement.

Weighted LP   The actual capacity of the LP under study in
Cap. (MSUs):  MSUs. This value is computed as a function of
              the CA MICS data elements CPUBPS (Partition
              Processor Weight) and PRSMTWGT (Sum of All
              Partitions Weights), and the MSUs Available to
              image value above. This is the amount of
              processor resources available for all CPs
              active within the LP when LP weighting is in
              effect.

Weighted LP   The share of processor resources available for
Share Pct.:   all active CPs in the LP under measurement,
              expressed as a percentage. This is the named
              result of the initial calculation of Weighted
              LP Cap. (MSUs) above and is effective once LP
              weight management is active.

No. of        The maximum number of CPs and special purpose
Available     processors present in the configuration, from
Procs.:       CA MICS data element CPUNOCPU (Max Number of
              Configured Processors).

Avg. CPs      The average number of CPs in use by the LP
in Use:       under study, from CA MICS data element CPUAVCPU
              (Avg Number of Assigned CP Processors).

Avg. zAAPs    The average number of zAAPs in use by the LP
in Use:       under study, from CA MICS data element CPUAVOZP
              (Avg Number of Online zAAP Processors).

Avg. zIIPs    The average number of zIIPs in use by the LP
in Use:       under study, from CA MICS data element CPUAVOSU
              (Avg Number of Online zIIP Processors).

CPs Required  The minimum number of CPs required to sustain
for LP Wgt.:  the weighted LP capacity. This value is
              computed as a function of the Weighted LP Share
              Percentage and the number of shared CPs defined
              in the CEC discussed previously.  It is
              displayed as a decimal value.  Round it upwards
              to the next integer and then compare the result
              against the Avg. CPs in Use value.  If fewer
              CPs are in actual use, then potentially there
              will not be sufficient processor resources
              available to address the workload requirements.

LP Shr. Proc. The ratio of LP processor usage as a function
Use Ratio:    of z/OS busy time. This value is sometimes
              called "Short CPs" and is an indicator of work
              versus resources.  Generally, a value greater
              than 1.25 is cause for concern and would
              indicate a potential performance impact.

Weighted CP   The effective speed of a single CP within the
Speed (MSUs): LP configuration. This is a function of the CPs
              Required for LP Wgt. calculation above and the
              Avg. CPs in Use value. This value becomes
              important when large processor tasks, such as
              CICS regions, are executing within the LP
              because the task execution can be frequently
              interrupted, causing poor or erratic response
              times within such regions.

LP PROCESSOR USAGE SUMMARY

This section contains measurement data concerning how
processor resources are consumed within the LP.  Information
is included to help with planning for subcapacity license
charging. Processor delays are presented.

Reporting     The timespan, in seconds, covered by the
Interval:     report, from CA MICS common data element
              DURATION.

LP CP Busy    The total processor busy time consumed by CPs
Time (sec):   assigned to this LP for the reporting interval,
              expressed in seconds.  This value is from
              CA MICS data element CPUTOBTM (Total Time CP
              Processors Busy)

zAAP          The amount of TCB CPU time consumed within this
Eligible      service/report class period while executing
Time (sec):   zAAP eligible work on standard CP processors.
              This value is from CA MICS data element
              SECZAPCT (zAAP Eligible CPU Time on CP).

zIIP          The amount of TCB CPU time consumed within this
Eligible      service/report class period while executing
Time (sec):   zIIP eligible work on standard CP processors.
              This value is from CA MICS data element
              SECSUPCT (zIIP Eligible CPU Time on CP).

Percent       The total processor busy time consumed by CPs
LP CP Busy:   assigned to this LP for the reporting interval,
              expressed as a percentage.  This value is from
              CA MICS data element CPUPCBSY (Pct CP
              Processors Busy).

LP zAAP Busy  The total processor busy time consumed by zAAPs
Time (sec):   assigned to this LP for the reporting interval,
              expressed in seconds.  This value is from
              CA MICS data element CPUZPBTM (Total Time zAAP
              Processors Busy)

Percent       The total processor busy time consumed by zAAPs
LP zAAP Busy: assigned to this LP for the reporting interval,
              expressed as a percentage.  This value is from
              CA MICS data element CPUPCBZP (Pct zAAP
              Processors Busy).

LP zIIP Busy  The total processor busy time consumed by zIIPs
Time (sec):   assigned to this LP for the reporting interval,
              expressed in seconds.  This value is from
              CA MICS data element CPUSUBTM (Total Time zIIP
              Processors Busy)

Percent       The total processor busy time consumed by zIIPs
LP zIIP Busy: assigned to this LP for the reporting interval,
              expressed as a percentage.  This value is from
              CA MICS data element CPUPCBSU (Pct zIIP
              Processors Busy).

Avg. MSUs     The mean CP resources consumed, expressed in
Consumed:     MSUs per hour. This value is derived using the
              LP CP Busy Time value described above and the
              Phys. CPU Adjust. Factor previously described.
              This value can be used in conjunction with the
              workload consumption values in the next section
              as a starting point for capacity planning. You
              can also use it to begin the subcapacity
              license charging process.

Uncaptured    The CP resources that cannot be allocated to a
CP MSUs:      given WLM defined workload and remain an
              overhead to the LP capacity.

Defined       The limit of LP capacity specified by the user
Capacity      in MSUs, from CA MICS data element CPUDEFLM. If
Limit:        this value is specified, then LP capacity will
              be governed by use of the "four hour rolling
              average" of actual CP consumption; when the CP
              consumption exceeds this limit, then the LP is
              "soft capped."

Avg. 4 Hour   The rolling average of LP consumption, in MSUs
Rolling MSUs: mentioned above and from CA MICS data element
              CPUAVLAC. This value can be tracked over time
              to help determine what an appropriate value for
              the Defined Capacity Limit should be if the
              user wants to implement subcapacity licensing
              charges.

Percent Ready The time on average that tasks ready for
Tasks Wait:   dispatch must wait for an available CP,
              expressed as a percentage. This value is
              computed by first summing the appropriate
              CPURxx values and then dividing this sum by the
              SAMPLES value. Use this measure in conjunction
              with the LP Shr. Proc. Use Ratio to help
              identify intervals where a shortage of
              processor resources is affecting throughput.

CP Usage      The ratio of CPU Delay Samples to the sum of
Delay Ratio:  CPU Using and CPU Delay Samples. This is
              essentially the inverse of the CPU portion of
              the Execution Velocity calculation, and can be
              used to see when processor delays are
              occurring. Use this value in conjunction with
              the Execution Velocity and Performance Index to
              determine if service objectives are not being
              met and if processor delay is responsible.

zAAP Usage    The ratio of zAAP Delay Samples to the sum of
Delay Ratio:  zAAP Using and zAAP Delay Samples. This value
              can be used to see when zAAP delays are
              occurring. Use this value in conjunction with
              the Execution Velocity and Performance Index to
              determine if service objectives are not being
              met and if zAAP processor delay is responsible.

zIIP Usage    The ratio of zIIP Delay Samples to the sum of
Delay Ratio:  zIIP Using and zIIP Delay Samples. This value
              can be used to understand when zIIP delays are
              occurring. Use this value in conjunction with
              the Execution Velocity and Performance Index to
              determine if service objectives are not being
              met and if zIIP processor delay is responsible.
