RMF is storing user data (view settings) in cookies. In many companies browsers are configured to delete cookies when the browser is closed. This is a security requirement which not can be changed by the individual user. In addition, stori...

Improve PFA_WLM_ADDR_SPACE_VELOCITY reporting

When CPU resources become constrained in a CEC and there are smaller/less-important LPARs in the same CEC as other higher-importance LPARs, WLM will favor the larger/more important LPARs and starve the other LPARs for CPU. In turn, this can starve...
