would be better to think of DLPAR as an operation to dynamically alter a virtual machine aka LPAR.
WPAR can be seen as the AIX implementation of the jail concept. Solaris has a similar construct known as containers. WPAR differentiate from others in that there are two types - system and application WPAR's.
An application WPAR isolates the application encapsulating the application in a protected environment that can be moved between AIX systems running at the same level.
A system WPAR appears as if it is a regular system. if you know where to look you can see the difference. System WPAR are also mobile capable.
Hope this helps.

seems to be WPAR is quite easy to set up..without additional licenses..
If I don't need Linux and all my legacy and new apps are happy in AIX 7.1 (the latest OS), I could save all troubles and use WPAR.
Can someone comment on this ??

I am trying to generate a report to track dlpar operation performed on a MS and was wondering if anyone has done this before.
I can get history from HMC using lssvcevents , but this does not give me details as to what quantity was added or removed .
Any thoughts ?

NAME
shlib_debug_enable - dynamically enable or disable online shared library debugging support
VALUES
Fail Safe
Default
semantics is disabled
Allowed values
DESCRIPTION
This tunable dynamically enables (1) or disables (0) the online shared library debugging feature. When this tunable is enabled, shared
libraries of a running (active) application can be debugged.
Who Is Expected to Change This Tunable?
System administrators and developers who want to change the default behavior of
Restrictions on Changing
Changes to this tunable take effect immediately. There is no need to reboot the system.
When Should the Tunable Be Turned On?
When there is a need to debug a shared library of a running (active) application, this tunable can be turned on.
When this feature/tunable is not enabled, debugging of shared libraries can be done at application start time through the command. See
chatr(1).
What Are the Side Effects of Turning the Tunable On?
If an application which is being debugged for shared libraries is not MPAS (Mostly Private Address Space) executable, then the application
will be converted to an MPAS executable type. After the conversion, all rules which apply to regular MPAS executable type does apply to
the converted application until the process exits. The rules apply even after being detached from the debugger.
When Should the Tunable Be Turned Off?
Administrators and/or developers who will not need the online debugging feature of shared libraries.
What Are the Side Effects of Turning the Tunable Off?
When this tunable is disabled, then online debugging of shared libraries will not be possible beyond the existing hardware break point
facility. With hardware break points, only a limited number of breakpoints can be set.
What Other Tunables Should Be Changed at the Same Time?
None.
