Problems assign components

Dear ladies and gentlemen,

we have installed ILMT 9.2.4 running with Software Catalog (Version: 2016-10-12).

The software scan has discovered the following software products and components:
- IBM InfoSphere Information Server Enterprise Edition for Non Production 11.5
- IBM InfoSphere DataStage Server for Non-Production Environments 11.5

Since IBM InfoSphere DataStage Server for Non-Production Environments is a component of IBM InfoSphere Information Server Enterprise Edition for Non Production, we want to assign this component to the parent product. When we try to do this in the Software Classification part of the ILMT application using "Reassign instances to another product", we cannot select "IBM InfoSphere Information Server Enterprise Edition for Non Production", because this relation seems not to be included in the actual Software Catalog (Version: 2016-10-12).

Also i can not assign the component BI Server Non-Prod 10.2 to the product IBM Cognos Analytic Server for Non- Production Environment.

So please add this relations to the Software catalog, otherwise InfoSphere DataStage will be listed in the PVU Subcapacity report as an own product, which isn't correct.

Thank you in advance.

Yours, Erich Lerch

    The typical assignment problem for finding the optimal assignment of a set of components to a set of locations in a system has been widely studied in practical applications. However, this problem mainly focuses on maximizing the total profit or minimizing the total cost without considering component’s failure. In practice, each component should be multistate due to failure, partially failure, or maintenance.

    That is, each component has several capacities with a probability distribution and may fail. When a set of multistate components is assigned to a system, the system can be treated as a stochastic-flow network. The network reliability is the probability that d units of homogenous commodity can be transmitted through the network successfully. The multistate components assignment problem to maximize the network reliability is never discussed.

    Therefore, this paper focuses on solving this problem under an assignment budget constraint, in which each component has an assignment cost. The network reliability under a components assignment can be evaluated in terms of minimal paths and state-space decomposition.

    Subsequently an optimization method based on genetic algorithm is proposed. The experimental results show which proposed algorithm can be executed in a reasonable time.
