At the risk of sounding like I am on Al Sherkow's sales payroll by suggesting this again, check out LCS from Al at www.sherkow.com
<beginning of customer testimonial> I have used LCS for the last two years and it has paid for itself each year as a result of the customer MSU "adjustments" I make to my SCRT submissions. And while I like that I can audit what SCRT is reporting, LCS provides so much more than just that capability. At this very moment, I am investigating defined capacity using information from one of its reports and have also trended our maximum peak four hour rolling average (S4HRA) MSU values by CEC and by lpar for the last eighteen months. Not bad for an hour's effort. And as for IBM accepting my "adjustments"? They have not once challenged an adjustment based on additional analysis using LCS software. I know they highly respect LCS' auditing capabilities. <end of customer testimonial> Bob Richards VP, Enterprise Technologist Enterprise Technology Infrastructure SunTrust Banks, Inc.

You must justify your revised MSU ratings and I believe that IBM is under no obligation to accept your revision although in the one case I used it they did. I used as justification the 'older' WLCTOOL that gave you the detail hour by hour, 'corrected' the numbers for the offending period and worked up my own 4HA. The max period differed from the original and fell in line with historical usage where just subtracting the looping task would have resulted in a lower than 'historical' number (and possibly a rejection by IBM). Play nice with them and they may return the favor.
