Curtis:

At one installation we used it to get gross idea for charging for usage.
It worked well until we accidently found out that the numbers were *WAY* off (we weren't charging for execution batch monitoring). The *SHIT* hit the fan and the subsidiary was sold off a few years later.
That left us with 3 divisions to charge back to.
It was entirely dropped when the entire IT division was shipped off to another state. It is doable but make damn sure the numbers are close to reality or you may pay with your job. No oops or do overs.

I’d wondered why SMT is turned off for CPs on the new z13 and z13s. I learned at SHARE that it’s because CPU timing can’t be done as accurately when using SMT, and since that could affect chargeback it’s not allowed. This is interesting, because we’ve never done chargeback here at UT. I was wondering how unusual this makes us. (I know we’re unusual in lots of ways, but I hadn’t thought much about chargeback.) So just to satisfy my curiosity, how many of y’all don’t do chargeback?
