Assign LPAR activation profile using GDPS

We would like to be able to specify the LPAR activation profile to be used for an LPAR Activate. I see this as very similar to specifying the Load information (address & parm).

    After giving the request a comprehensive review, we have determined that we cannot include it as a candidate in an upcoming release because it won?t be pursued within our planning cycle.

    Low priority- limited use case, but could be a useful capability.

    We make use of as many functions as possible from within GDPS panels or scripts. Every step in a process that has to be done outside GDPS or even on another platform takes time, is error-prone and must be documented.

    N/A for out site, but seems a good idea to do everything in GDPS. Low priority.

    Reducing the number of cases where operational staff must switch between GDPS scripting and using the HMC/SE is an improvement. Given that GDPS recommends the "LOAD" option we don't use activation profiles very much, but support like this could change things. For example, in our MGM4SITE the recovery site is "dialed down" from 5 CPs to 2 CPs. To run a DR test, we have to change the number of CPs assigned per lpar, then once the DR test is complete, we must change the number of CPs back to the normal count to provide for a "real" DR that would involve CBU to "dial up" capacity.
