The SCRTTOOL report has a spot for 'Customer MSU' where you can account for the errant behavior of a looping task. You must justify your revised MSU ratings and I believe that IBM is under no obligation to accept your revision although in the one case I used it they did. I used as justification the 'older' WLCTOOL that gave you the detail hour by hour, 'corrected' the numbers for the offending period and worked up my own 4HA. The max period differed from the original and fell in line with historical usage where just subtracting the looping task would have resulted in a lower than 'historical' number (and possibly a rejection by IBM). Play nice with them and they may return the favor.
Ken Porowski AVP Systems Software CIT Group E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Joel C. Ewing Licensing with VWLC can save a bundle on z/OS and other software charges unless you are regularly running your box at 100% for four hours straight every month. It saved us over $10K per month when we started using it; but it also changes the game from one of "getting what you paid for" to one of "paying for what you get" (or more accurately, paying for your peak usage). If someone introduces a program bug that eats CPU and it runs all night before it's caught and fixed and that turns out to be your monthly peak four hours, that bug may cost a substantial amount of real money in software costs, and management doesn't tend to like budgetary surprises, especially one that is unnecessary. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
