Thanks for all your input. You'll have to excuse my ignorance with this stuff since my main charge is tuning and I just started to read the manual, like yesterday. OK, if I have this right and I code *all for the NO89 products it may be possible to be billed additionally if that's possible. If I code *none for NO89 products we may not be able to take advantage of where the software is running to get additional SubCapacity savings. And if I code the LPARs where the NO89 products run this might/would be factored into potential SubCapacity savings. My plan is to get this right and so I will be including LPAR's that are part of the NO89 hit list but wanted to understand what the options actually mean from a savings viewpoint. Again, appreciate all your input (and you to Al - thanks)

The NO89 covers products that do not cut SMF type 89 usage records. You are already paying for licensed products at full capacity. If you know you are not running a given product on LPARX, then include all of the others. Even if you are running it everywhere, you can still achieve sizable savings or, perhaps more importantly, make a good business case for a much bigger box you can grow into instead of a too small box you grow out of. You may not see any savings if your box is too small. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Richards, Robert B.

Turn them all on with *ALL* and see what does not report anything. By the way, I have never tried this suggestion so I am not sure it is of any value except what you are paying me for it. Or, get Al's software. :-) Bob --------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Patrick Falcone Sent: Tuesday, July 28, 2009 3:38 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: z/OS SCRT NO89 Product Information I'm currently working with/on SCRT for quite a few physical machines and about triple the amount of LPARs. Is there any easy way for me to find out what products might be on what LPARs for inclusion in the NO89 section? I've got the process working fine but now need to tailor the NO89 section for validity. Or do I just need to read the fine book some more. Al, help!? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
