However you accomplish that should be acceptable for IBM (it is/was for my client). Whether it be from RACF, APF or just educating users. If you aren't using it, you aren't using it. Of course for products that cut SMF89 records if someone does use it accidentally or on purpose because you haven't taken preventive measures, you'll have to pay for it. I think IBM understands that in large shops and even small shops you aren't going to do a separate install / serverpac for every combination of licensed products / LPARs and aren't going to maintain all of those SMP/E zones and data sets separately. However, I was once asked to delete a product from SMP/E, but that was when no LPARs in the entire shop were licensed for it. >[...] >> As to your last question about how to be sure that the library belongs >> solely to the product, look at the PGMDIR PDS members that came with you >> ServerPac for each product in question and make sure the same library >> is not referenced in any other program directories. > >Looks time consuming, but safe way. > If you aren't sure, then yes, it's the only safe way. The unsafe way is to just do it and hope the phone doesn't ring Monday morning. :-) Regards, Mark -- Mark Zelden - Zelden Consulting Services - z/OS, OS/390 and MVS mailto:[email protected] Mark's MVS Utilities: http://home.flash.net/~mzelden/mvsutil.html Systems Programming expert at http://expertanswercenter.techtarget.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
