2.10.1 Functional Description

The Product Measured Usage Analysis queries allow you to
produce a software inventory by vendor and LPAR, and track
product LPAR utilization.  It will also provide a mechanism
to report on the combined hourly system usage for each LPAR
in which a product ran, and contrast the system usage against
the combined hourly product usage for each of the same LPARs.

The LPAR Product Resource Consumption query uses data from
the Measured Usage Global (BATMUG) File. The Combined Hourly
System Usage by Product query processes both the BATMUG file
and the CPU Activity (HARCPU) File. In the later case, both
the CA MICS Batch and Operations Analyzer (SMF) DIA and
the CA MICS Hardware and SCP Analyzer (RMF) DIA have to be
installed in the same unit.

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 Batch Activity
or the Hardware Utilization Information Area, ask your system
administrator for help.
