There are also Enterprise License Agreements (ELAs) which probably at least
reduce the intensity of worrying about this stuff month to month. Ask your
IBM representative.

If someone can help to understand this :
replacing the HOST hardware with a Intel (or AMD) Server where Linux
will be the OS and the HOST feature is
emulated in order to avoid rewriting all the programs that are currently
executed on the HOST machine.

That is not exactly true. Even with an ELA, you are required to still collect
the SMF data and submit the SCRT reports as before. It is just that the monthly
invoice should be substantially lower!

EMEA pricing is generally higher than the US pricing. At least that was my
experience when I was a S/390 Client Rep. in Saudi Arabia sixteen years ago.
Price lifts occurred sometimes by EMEA and also sometimes by the IBM x

As to LCS,

In everything I've been lead to believe is true (in the US), an ELA doesn't
relieve you from paying for the actual cost of MLC software capacity that
you've consumed. You may have budgeted an amount of $x/month for MLC in the
ELA and that's the amount of the check you send IBM every month.

Hi Alan. Yes, I've been having problems for about a week, and have a pmr open.
Although it's slow at the moment, some times it does finish. Yesterday it timed
out after 480 minutes. Today it finished in 255 minutes.
IBM says there is/was a huge backlog, possibly due to a new RSU coming out. But
This problem seems to come and go. I advise my colleagues to 'wait
forever'. I see no value in timing out nor cost for waiting. The task

TOD values are, conceptually, most like IAT ones.
