Hi Steve,

This means that the sum of the LPARs' 4HRA has exceeded the
defined capacity of the group.  In this case, SCRT has enforced the
group capacity limit and the contribution to the product's sub-capacity
value comes from the group limit rather than the individual LPARs.

Example:

LPARA and LPARB are in GROUP1.
LPARA's 4HRA value in the hour is 100 MSU.
LPARB's 4HRA value in the hour is 105 MSU.
GROUP1 capacity is 200 MSU.

The effective 4HRA for products running on LPARA and LPARB is
reported as 200 MSU (the group limit) rather than 205 MSU (the sum
of the individual LPARs).

If LPARC were also active at 50 MSU, but not part of GROUP1, the
4HRA would be reported as 250 MSU (the sum of GROUP1 and
LPARC).

If you need the individual LPAR values prior to the cap being
enforced, you can generate detailed data section V5 (or W3 in a
Country Multiplex or Enterprise Tailored Fit report) by specifying the
GENERATE_DETAILED_DATA control statement in the SPECIAL
DD of the SCRT job.

In the V5/W3 section, find the row corresponding to the peak hour and
look for the LPAR columns you care about.  The notation is "G(xxx)"
where G indicates that the group capacity limit was enforced and xxx
is the LPAR's original value before enforcement.

You can open a Case through the usual service process.

Regards,

Ed
