Please improve IZPCA Cognos framework to allow selection of PLEX wide aggregation metrics instead of unique LPAR/Server mode

Please improve IZPCA Cognos framework to allow selection of PLEX wide aggregation metrics instead of unique LPAR/Server mode

The IZPCA Cognos framework do not work well for PLEXable components/environments. 

Our users would like a way to summarize the metrics on a PLEX basis and then further drill down if needed into a specific LPAR or Server.

 

We have 2 profiles of users in IZPCA Cognos:

1. Business - wants to know how well their API/PGM/IMS/CICS/MQ works globally all across the SYSPLEX (MSU/Response Time/Trx number). 

2. Tech team - wants to further drill down to a specific adresse space/serveur on one LPAR (mostly as it is now).

 

Same for IMS, CICS, z/OS Connect, DFSMS/WLM/....
