Example 6: Upgrading a processor with MULC products and adding another

z/OS MVS Product Management
SA23-1391-00

In this example the customer is upgrading a processor from a 9021-952 to a 9021-972 over the space of several hours on August 14th and would like to continue participating in measured usage pricing for CICS®, BatchPipes® and TSO/E on the new processor. The customer can “transfer” all of these products from the old to the new processor via a TRANSFER control statement after the upgrade is complete. IFAURP will maintain the same product measurement periods on the new processor. TRANSFER, itself, does not require that a Software Usage Report be sent to IBM® at the time of the processor upgrade. The existing product measurement periods, alone, will determine when the next Software Usage Report is due for this upgraded processor.

The customer will also place IMS™ TM under usage pricing immediately after the upgrade has completed, because the MULC PTFs have finally been applied and activated on all IMS TM versions on all LPARs on the processor.

  • See Example 2: Placing a product under the measured usage option for an explanation of the //STEPLIB, //SYSMSGS and //SYSPRINT files.
  • //SYSHOUT references the newest version (+1) of the history file, MULC.HISTORY.#1234567 that will be created as a result of this job step. The last qualifier, #1234567, designates the IBM customer number for the processor from which the usage data was collected. Note that IFAURP requires that the SMF type 89 records from both the old and new processor must be processed and reside on the same set of history files. Failure to use the same set of history files as the original processor will result in no usage values being listed for the new processor.

    See Examples 2 and 5 for an explanation of the other DD statements used in this example.

  • TRANSFER This control statement will transfer all the products participating on measured usage pricing from one processor to another processor only as part of a processor upgrade. The second processor can not already be participating in MULC before the transfer. There must be no overlap between product usage on both processors. Because no overlap of usage exists between the original and replacement processors, dates are not required for this control statement.
    Note: This TRANSFER statement must precede any PROCESSOR statements that may be required to START a product on the upgraded new processor. If the TRANSFER statement is not executed prior to new PROCESSOR statements (when such statements exist in the same execution of the usage report program), the TRANSFER statement will fail, because the new processor will have started a MULC product prior to the TRANSFER and violate the TRANSFER conditions.
    (9021,952,01111)
    This set of values represents the processor that is being discontinued.
    (9021,972,02222)
    This set of values represents the processor that is replacing the first processor.
  • PROCESSOR This control statement is not required for the products that have already been started on the original processor. It is included in this example only because the customer wants to place a new product under the MULC option. This control statement identifies the new processor and product for which action is to be taken.
    (9021,972,02222)
    This field is used to identify the specific processor for which the remainder of the keywords apply. In the US the last 5 digits of the processor serial number are used to identify the processor. Outside the US this 5 digit serial number must be prefixed with a two digit manufacturing location.
    PRODUCT
    This set of control statements defines only the product being added.
    PRODOWNER
    All IBM products require the value ‘IBM CORP’ for this field.
    PRODNAME
    Only ‘IMS TM’ is required, because CICS, BatchPipes and TSO/E have already been transferred from the TRANSFER statement.
    START
    This keyword actually triggers IFAURP to begin processing IMS TM as a measured usage product by listing the product and its usage values in the “Billing” section of the Software Usage Report. The value of 19950815 signifies the fact that the customer has met both key requirements of the START keyword on that date. See the START keyword in Example 2: Placing a product under the measured usage option for additional information.
