As I wrote to Peter on May 6: ----- The Ts&Cs of WLC agreement signed by each customer include "the highest number of MSUs ... running on the same eligible machine during a reporting period."
To my reading "same eligible machine" limits the simultaneous 4HRA to the "same eligible machine" not to all your machines. ----- It's clear to me. John: You have not been overpaying due to this issue. (there may be other issues, but not this one) Hal: The 4HRA is computed by WLM, and stored into the RMF70 data by RMF. SCRT works on the hourly level, not 30 minutes. I need to disagree with "while some (DB2, for example) charge for total MSU's across all LPAR's on that CEC (no matter if DB2 is installed on a given LAPR or not)". You are not charged for DB2 in an LPAR if it is not in the SCRT reports. SCRT does not know what you have licensed. It only reports based on the SMF89 data (on z/OS) and the NO89 control cards. I certainly agree with Hal on this point: It is worthwhile to get independent verification! Al Sherkow, I/S Management Strategies, Ltd.
