Merging Events

Adjacent utilization events for the same entity can be merged if it is determined that the events actually represent one event.

To merge two events for an entity, all of the following conditions must be true:

• The events are contiguous. This is, no other events have occurred between the two events.

• The events have the same utilization reason.

• The comments for the events are the same.

  or

  The comments for the events are different but one of the options for the system parameter How to handle comments when merging utilization events that allows events with different comments to be merged has been selected. (This system parameter is configured in MES Client, in the Operator group of the General Parameters module.)

• The raw reason codes for the events are the same.

  or

  The raw reason codes for the events are different but one of the options for the system parameter How to handle raw reason codes when merging utilization events that allows events with different raw reason codes to be merged has been selected. (This system parameter is configured in MES Client, in the Operator group of the General Parameters module.)
