Title: (Paraphrase problem in a single statement)Provide 'Display System Activity' detail for Dynamic Partitions

Detailed Problem Description: (Description of what you want changed - 400 character entry limit)

 

Currently only dynamic classes are available on the 'Display System Activity' screens, the request is to make dynamic partitions available as well.

                                                                                            

Priority: (Select one: Urgent - High - Medium - Low) Medium

Requested Completion Date: (When? Examples: 3 months, 1 year, Next Release) Next release

Requirement Type: (Select one: Acceptability - Compatibility/Migration - Ease of Use - Feature/Function - Performance - Reliability/Availability/Serviceability - Packaging - Interoperability)

Ease of use

Business Justification: (Why? Non-technical business case description. Do not reword Detailed Problem Description from above. What are the benefits to be gained by your company, and the vendor and others?  Quantify: run time, dollars, manpower, etc.   Why should the vendor do this for the customer?)

 

With the increased use of dynamic partitions comes the need to be able to monitor the jobs that are running in them.  Although there are screens available to see all dynamic classes and specific dynamic classes, these screens do not tell the whole story.

Solution: (Optional)(Desired/undesired elements Note: Making a suggestion may limit a vendors ability to deliver a solution)

 

Either the Display System Activity screen (IESADMDA) or the Display Partition Activity and Balancing screen (IESADMPB) or both should be modified to handle this request.  Relevant detail fields should include (in two columns), part ID, Job Name, Phase Name, Job Elapsed Time, CPU Time, CPU Utilization.  Ideas for reformatting either or both of these screens are available upon request.

Impact: (Optional) (How will your company’s business be affected if a solution is not delivered?)

 

With the availability and use of dynamic partitions comes a need to be able to easily monitor their use.  Navigating multiple screens to do this is neither easy nor convenient.
