It seems really unlikely that anyone would write their own SMF type 89 records (especially IBM). But perhaps you know something I don't. SMF 89 records are not written by applications. They are written by SMF. Only by SMF. SMF 89 subtype 2 records (which is what is really being talked about in the SCRT discussion) are written by SMF based on information associated with the product registration service (IFAEDREG). SMF 89 subtype 1 records are written by SMF based on information provided by applications using IFAUSAGE.
