Hi Peter, Usually, RMF does NOT show up on the SCRT report that you create to send IBM. It will show up, however, on their bill coming back (also in Excel format). Where are you seeing it? If it's on the bill, then here is what is happening:
1. When you sign a license for z/OS, you also indicate which other entitlements come with that, such as RMF, DFSORT, and similar tools. If you have alternative products, such as CMF or SYNCSORT, then you would remove those entitlements during the license signing. 2. IBM keeps that information in their license database. 3. You run an SRCT report that shows all of the LPARs where z/OS runs. IBM bills you for every entitlement in every LPAR where z/OS runs, whether you run the component or not. Therefore, if RMF is an entitlement in your license, then RMF will show up in every LPAR. So EITHER you should have removed RMF as an entitlement once you installed CMF, OR you are running RMF in at least one LPAR and you're getting charged for all LPARs (but there's nothing you can do about that - it's the way it works). Is this the situation in your case?

We do not run RMF, we run CMF. I am looking back at syslogs and SMF data; I am trying to determine what caused that (RMF usage) type 89 record to get cut. It does not appear that the RMF STC was started… wondering what else could be the cause. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
