Chris,
after having engulfed myself in this for a while now, I disagree with
your points:
IWMRCOL and IWMRQRY give you data at the SYSTEM level. All WLM goals are
calculated at the SYSPLEX level. IBM explicitly indicates that if you want this
data to mean anything you have to aggregate it across the plex. RMF III
displays in this area are all at the sysplex level for very good reasons. If
you look at the Actual vs. Goal you will see that it retrieves this data at the
SYSPLEX and not SYSTEM level. We have spent considerable time and effort
researching this. I am aware of all the obscure DSECTs (IBM decided to
challenge even the experienced developer, I guess) and the ENFs. Those also,
are insufficient to do any sort of meaningful analysis. Activating a new
definition (which is what the ENF gives you) is not the only thing of
relevance. Operators activating policies, changing caps, dynamic service class
assignments, etc. are all things to be taken into consideration.
Making suggestions and ignoring these factors or even limiting yourself to the
system level will produce erroneous results.
For more or less obvious reasons I am not crazy about talking how we resolved
these challenges. I will send you some more stuff.

Absolutely. I am fairly certain that this is where this
