So you have to know where things run. Tools like Softaudit / TCLM and Al's software can help. Unfortunately our guy that used to run SCRT never understood how it really worked. He would wait to see usage from softaudit and then add NO89 records for those. He also had the wrong LPAR names in the NO89. He was using SMF SYSID / SYSNAME instead of the HW LPAR name. In matched in some cases, in others it doesn't.
