Physical Breakdowns (tscfg2110m000)

Use this session to maintain physical breakdowns. A physical breakdown is defined for an Installation, and enables you to view the configuration's build-up structure and as-maintained structure.

Only the serialized items that are currently installed in the configuration or Installment, are displayed in the physical breakdown. You can view the removed serialized items in the Physical Breakdown Log (tscfg2515m000) session.

Note: 
  • If the Functional Elements Active check box in the General Service Parameters (tsmdm0100m000) session is selected, you can use functional elements in physical breakdowns.
  • If you view the physical breakdown through the graphical browser framework, note that LN also uses the data entered in the Physical Breakdown Log (tscfg2515m000) session.
  • The Replace Serial Number command that starts the Replace Serial Number (tscfg2210m800) session allows you to replace the old serial number with the new serial number, is displayed only when you select the Configuration Status Usage checkbox in the Configuration Management Parameters (tscfg0100m000) session.
