Additional attributes in the Address_Space_Bottlenecks (ASGNWAIT) table in TEP

At the moment we cannot verify how the CPU_Loop_Index values are calculated. Based on the TDW data are not able to follow back the high CPU_Loop_Index value.
As per the description the value is calculated the following way: 
CPU Loop Index
The sum of all CPU, zIIP, zIIP on CP, zAAP, and zAAP on CP using
and waiting counts, divided by the total sample count.

 

We would like to have the following additional attributes in the Address_Space_Bottlenecks (ASGNWAIT) table:

Total CPU (Standard CP Used + zAAP used + zIIP used + zAAPOnCP Used + zIIPOnCP Used + Standard CP Wait + zAAP Wait + zIIP Wait ) samples

Total Wait (Standard CP Wait + zAAP Wait + zIIP Wait) samples

CPU Loop Index Importance (High, Medium or Low)

The above three new attributes in addition to the existing Total Using+Wait Samples count serve as input to the CPU Loop Index calculation (CPU Loop Index Importance is derived from the intermediate result of dividing attribute2. by attribute 1.).

Thank you.
