To create an activity report, issue
a REPORT ACTIVITY command. For the syntax of this command, see page REPORT ACTIVITY. The report contains information about the activation and deactivation of additional capacity that was initiated by the Provisioning
Manager based on the policy and workload status.
This activity is displayed in reverse chronological order, with
the latest actions displayed at the top of the list, so that when
the list is truncated, only the oldest data is not displayed. Activation
and deactivation are processed asynchronously by the CPC. The activity
report may also show whether failures to activations and deactivations
have been detected and whether manually activated capacity has been
passed to the Provisioning Manager management.
The reported information includes:
A summary line that shows the time period reported and the number
of activities performed by the Provisioning Manager.
Optionally, if failures have been detected for the requested period,
a summary line containing the number of failures in the report.
For processor activities the following information is included:
The type of activity (activation or deactivation), the CPC affected and the time the activity
took place
The target activation level. This includes the target model for general purpose capacity
and the numbers of temporary zAAP and
zIIP processors
The activation level of the CPC at the time the activity was initiated,
in the same format as the target activation level
If the activity was an activation
of additional capacity, for each workload that triggered the activation:
The policy element that triggered the activation: the policy name,
the provisioning rule, the provisioning condition, and the time condition
The system that was suffering and
the sysplex it belongs to
The service class period that was suffering: the active WLM service
definition, the WLM policy name, the service class name, and the period number.
For Defined Capacity or Group Capacity
activities, following information is included:
The type of activity (capacity increase or decrease), the affected
LPAR or capacity group, the affected CPC and the time the activity
took place.
The target capacity
The capacity before the activity was initiated.
If the activity was a workload driven capacity increase, for each
workload that triggered the activation:
The policy element that triggered the activation: the policy name,
the provisioning rule, the provisioning condition, and the time condition
The system that suffered
from the capacity shortage and the sysplex it belongs to
The service class period that suffered from the capacity shortage:
the active WLM service definition, the WLM policy
name, the service class name, and the period number.
Information about command failures that
have been asynchronously reported. Such information includes the time
when the failure was detected, optionally the name of the affected
LPAR or capacity group, the name of the affected CPC, and the code
of the cause of failure reported by the hardware.
For processor capacity, information
about manually activated capacity passed to the Provisioning Manager
for deactivation. The entry contains information about the CPC and
the new total managed capacity of the Provisioning Manager in MSU
for general purpose capacity and number of processors for zAAP and
zIIP capacity.
An example of an activity report is:
