Just to expand a little bit on CBU, your CBU agreement generally allows a finite number of tests within a certain time period.
Also, customers decide whether and when to activate CBU capacity. IBM (and presumably other vendors -- but I don't speak for any company) reserve the right to question the CBU activation at a later time for purposes of license charges, in particular. For example, if you're activating CBU to meet your normal production batch deadlines, especially after months of clear capacity trends, I assume IBM would take a dim view of that. An actual unforeseen/unusual business-critical disruption or an authorized rehearsal? Not generally a problem. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan / Asia-Pacific E-Mail: timothy.sipp...@us.ibm.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
