R

Recalculation Needed: Specifies whether recalculation was needed when the snapshot was generated. If the value is Yes, metric quantity for the product might not be correct. It happens because actions that influence metric quantity were performed but the value was not recalculated. For example, a component was reassigned to a different product. A correct snapshot contains only entries for which the value in the Recalculation Needed column is No.

If the computer is a physical machine, the Server Name column shows the hardware manufacturer, type, and a machine serial number.
If the computer is a virtual machine, the Server Name column shows the manufacturer and host name of the physical host.
If the computer is a virtual machine for which a VM manager is not configured, the Server Name column shows a UUID assigned by BigFix Inventory prefixed with TLM_VM_. A correct snapshot should not contain any entries with such a value unless you have the permission of the IBM Compliance Team.

If multiple virtual machines are running on the same physical server, the same server name is listed multiple times.

U

Unconfirmed Product Instance: Specifies whether the assignment of the component to the product was confirmed. Confirming the assignment is optional and does not impact metric utilization.

V
