IBM System z Software Contracts

The following is a list of Monthly License Charge (MLC) programs which qualify for sub-capacity pricing using one or more of these price metrics:

• Advanced Workload License Charges (AWLC)
• Advanced Entry Workload License Charges (AEWLC)
• Workload License Charges (WLC)
• Entry Workload License Charges (EWLC)
• Midrange Workload License Charges (MWLC)

* The last column, labeled 'SMF89?/SCRT89?', describes whether the program is able to generate an SMF89 record (applies to z/OS and related programs) or an SCRT89 record (applies to z/VSE or z/TPF and related programs). SMF89/SCRT89 records are generated by the operating system on behalf of any program which makes a request. These records are analyzed by the Sub-Capacity Reporting Tool to determine when/where a sub-capacity eligible program executed. In the case that a sub-capacity eligible program is not capable of generating SMF89 records, then the customer must tell the Sub-Capacity Reporting Tool where these programs execute by updating the 'NO89' DD statement in the tool.

Note: SMF89/SCRT89 records are only needed for Sub-Capacity System z MLC programs or System z IPLA programs with Execution-based terms because IBM is able to determine the required sub-capacity license capacity of System z IPLA programs with Reference-based terms by examining the MSUs reported for the parent program and for System z IPLA programs with z/OS-based terms by examining the MSUs reported for z/OS on Sub-Capacity Reports.

^ 5697MQZ is made up of two products, 5655F10 WebSphere MQ for z/OS V5 and 5698A02 Tivoli Access Manager for Business Integration Host Edition. Both of these products produce SMF89 records under their original program numbers, not under the 5697MQZ program number. The Sub-Capacity Reporting tool will report the MSU utilization for each of the component products, not for 5697MQZ. IBM will use the higher of the two reported MSU values to determine the charges for 5697MQZ.

^^ 5697NQZ is made up of two products, 5655L82 WebSphere MQ for z/OS V6 and 5698A02 Tivoli Access Manager for Business Integration Host Edition. Both of these products produce SMF89 records under their original program numbers, not under the 5697NQZ program number. The Sub-Capacity Reporting tool will report the MSU utilization for each of the component products, not for 5697NQZ. IBM will use the higher of the two reported MSU values to determine the charges for 5697NQZ.

+ This product does not produce SMF89 records, instead it produces SCRT89 records which serve the same purpose for SCRT reporting. For more information please see the Sub-Capacity for z/TPF web pages.

++ This product does not produce SMF89 records, instead it produces SCRT89 records which serve the same purpose for SCRT reporting. For more information please see the Sub-Capacity for z/VSE web pages.

Caution: This System z Contracts web page contains a listing of all the sub-capacity eligible IBM software products, as announced by IBM. Sub-Capacity Reporting Tool (SCRT) support for Sub-Capacity System z MLC programs or System z IPLA programs with Execution-based terms generally occurs at or soon after the product's general availability date. To determine whether a particular version/release of SCRT supports a particular Sub-Capacity System z MLC or IPLA product with execution-based terms, please visit the 'What's New' portion of the SCRT website.
