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?
Best regards,
Cheryl

Our SCRT reporting for IBM showed type 89 records that indicted that RMF was
used. 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.
