| Description |
|
The Optim family of products delivers data management solutions with a focus on:
- Data growth, providing proven capabilities to archive historical transaction records from mission-critical applications. Application data is safely relocated to a secure archive, thereby streamlining the production database, reducing processing overhead, and reducing database sizes. You retain universal access to archived information. The Optim Data Growth Solution can help you improve application performance, lower IT costs, and support data retention compliance programs.
- Test data management, allowing you to create realistic, right-sized test databases, edit data to force error and boundary conditions, and compare baseline data against successive test results to pinpoint application errors that would otherwise go undetected. By streamlining test data management, you can improve quality, speed iterative testing tasks, and accelerate revenue generation.
- Data privacy, providing organizations the ability to de-identify, mask, and transform sensitive data.
The following new versions of existing Optim products are available, providing improved pricing metrics, data privacy, and additional enhancements:
- Optim Test Data Management Solution for z/OS - IMS/VSAM/SEQ V7.1
- Optim Test Data Management Solution for z/OS - Adabas V7.1
- Optim Data Growth Solution for z/OS - IMS/VSAM/SEQ V7.1
- Optim Data Growth Solution for z/OS - Adabas V7.1
In addition, the following new products are available:
- Optim Data Privacy Solution V1.2.
- Optim Data Privacy Solution - PCI Module V1.2.
- Optim Open Data Manager V7.1. This product was previously available as a priced feature of the Data Growth Solution products.
All of the above products are available with Value Unit pricing. Using Value Unit Exhibit VUE007, MSUs are converted to Value Units and the product price is based on the number of entitled Value Units. The major benefits of Value Unit pricing are a lower cost of incremental growth and enterprise aggregation. Refer to the full description of Value Unit pricing in the Ordering information section of this announcement.
Optim V7.1
Optim Test Data Management Solution for z/OS - IMS/VSAM/SEQ V7.1 and Optim Test Data Management Solution for z/OS - Adabas V7.1 have been enhanced to provide new data privacy features:
- Enhanced Hash_Lookup function for data privacy transformation
Increased scrutiny on privacy protection has led Optim clients to deploy advanced methods for data privacy transformation. Optim's Hash_Lookup function enables organizations to create a consistent replacement value each time a data transformation routine is executed. New in Version 7.1, the Hash_Lookup function offers additional security by enabling enterprises to specify a unique seed value for data transformation.
- Expanded Replacement Data for data privacy transformation
Optim now provides an expanded range of replacement data for data privacy transformation, covering more countries and types of data.
Optim currently supports the following replacement data options in Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, and the United States:
- Name
- Address
- Company name
- National identifier
- Payment card number
- Support for decimal data types in transformation routines for Social Security and payment card numbers
Optim Test Data Management Solution for z/OS - IMS/VSAM/SEQ V7.1 and Optim Test Data Management Solution for z/OS - Adabas V7.1 now provide support for transforming Social Security and payment card numbers that are stored as decimal values.
Optim Data Privacy Solution V1.2
Optim Data Privacy Solution V1.2 consists of one or more management servers and agents, the Optim Studio, and an Apache Derby database of sample and replacement data. Using the installer on the Optim installation CD, you can implement a centralized installation with all components collocated on a single system or a distributed installation with components residing on different physical systems.
- The Optim Studio, based on the Eclipse platform, is used to build models and services needed by the management server and its agents to execute data management operations. Optim services are deployed to a management server and an agent and can be executed from the studio or from a Web-based management console.
- The Optim Management Server, based on the Java™ Enterprise Edition (Java EE 5) Platform, delegates the operations in an Optim service, set up in the Optim Studio, to one or more agents and hosts the file system-based repository for models and other information needed to orchestrate the workload.
- The Optim Agent, based on Web services, acts as a trusted extension of the management server, executing one or more Optim services.
- The Optim Management Console is a Web-based tool hosted by the management server.
- A Derby database contains replacement data as well as predefined source and target data sources.
Features of Optim Data Privacy Solution V1.2 include:
- Support for creating global data masking policies
- Wizards to auto-generate XLST style sheet templates used to mask data in XML documents on the file system
- Rule-based Data Masking for dates, character and numeric values, e-mail addresses, credit card numbers of the major credit card associations, and the national IDs of Canada, Spain, France, Italy, UK, and U.S.
- Random and Hash Lookup Data Masking for relational data sources
- Data Privacy Models for masking dates, characters and numbers, and personal identities
- Out-of-box replacement data for common attributes such as address, first name, last name, and company name
- XML Transform Data Management Service
Optim Data Privacy Solution - PCI Module V1.2
Optim Data Privacy Solution - PCI Module V1.2 offers data masking capabilities that help companies address Requirements 6 and 7 of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), which restrict access to and utilization of sensitive cardholder data.
New features include:
- Service-oriented architecture (SOA) provides the flexibility needed for sites to scale Optim's data management capabilities across the enterprise.
- New GUI makes it easier to define data management activities.
- Optim Management Console makes it easier to run, monitor, and audit data management services.
- Mask-in-place functionality enables sites to de-identify data residing in any database files.
- Intelligent, context-aware payment card data masking capabilities generate valid, unique numbers for cards offered by some of the leading payment card companies.
- Foundational transformation capabilities provide additional techniques to de-identify sensitive personal data.
- Flexible Lookup functions such as the Random Lookup, Hash_Lookup, and Multiple Hash_Lookup make it easy to generate masked values.
- Prepopulated Replacement Data lookup tables enable fast and easy data masking to support privacy compliance initiatives.

Value Unit-based pricing
Value Unit pricing for eligible IBM System z® IBM International Program License Agreement (IPLA) programs enables a lower cost of incremental growth and enterprise aggregation. Each System z IPLA product with Value Unit pricing has a single price per Value Unit and a conversion matrix, called Value Unit Exhibit, for converting from some designated measurement to Value Units. Most commonly, Millions of Service Units (MSUs) is the measurement designated by IBM to be converted to Value Units. Some other measurements are engines or messages. Since MSUs are the most common measurement, that measurement will be used for the remainder of this description.
Value Unit pricing offers price benefits for you. For each System z IPLA program with Value Unit pricing, the quantity of that program needed to satisfy applicable IBM terms and conditions is referred to as the required license capacity. Each of the various Value Unit Exhibits stipulate that the larger your required license capacity, the fewer Value Units per MSU you will need. Value Unit Exhibits are uniquely identified by a three-digit code and referred to using the nomenclature VUExxx, where xxx is the three-digit code.
Subsequent acquisitions of Value Unit priced programs offer additional price benefits. The quantity of each System z IPLA program that you have acquired is referred to as entitled license capacity. If you wish to grow your entitled license capacity for a System z IPLA program, the calculation to determine additional needed Value Units is based upon the number of Value Units already acquired.
For each System z IPLA program with Value Unit pricing, you should:
- Determine the required license capacity, in MSUs
- Aggregate the MSUs across the enterprise
- Convert the total MSUs to Value Units, using the applicable Value Unit Exhibit
- Multiply the price per Value Unit by the total number of Value Units to determine the total cost
To simplify conversion from the designated measurement to Value Units or vice-versa, use the Value Unit Converter Tool. For additional information or to obtain a copy of the Value Unit Converter Tool, visit the Value Unit Converter Tool Web site
Note that Value Units of a given product cannot be exchanged, interchanged, or aggregated with Value Units of another product.
To determine the required license capacity for the System z IPLA program you selected, refer to the Terms and conditions section.

Subscription and Support
To receive voice technical support via telephone and future releases and versions at no additional charge, Subscription and Support must be ordered. The capacity of Subscription and Support (Value Units) must be the same as the capacity ordered for the product licenses.
To order, specify the Subscription and Support program number (PID) referenced above and the appropriate license or charge option.
IBM is also providing Subscription and Support for these products via a separately purchased offering under the terms of the IBM International Agreement for Acquisition of Software Maintenance (IAASM). This offering:
- Includes and extends the support services provided in the base support to include technical support via telephone.
- Entitles you to future releases and versions, at no additional charge. Note that you are not entitled to new products.
When Subscription and Support is ordered, the charges will automatically renew annually unless cancelled by you.
The combined effect of the IPLA license and the Agreement for Acquisition of Software Maintenance gives you rights and support services comparable to those under the traditional ICA S/390® and System z license or its equivalent. To ensure that you continue to enjoy the level of support you are used to in the ICA business model, you must order both the license for the program and the support for the selected programs at the same Value Unit quantities.
Single version charging
To elect single version charging, you must notify and identify to IBM the prior program and replacement program, and the machine the programs are operating on.

Limited warranty
IBM warrants that when the program is used in the specified operating environment, it will conform to its specifications. The warranty applies only to the unmodified portion of the program. IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of the program or that IBM will correct all program defects. You are responsible for the results obtained from the use of the program.
IBM provides you with access to IBM databases containing information on known program defects, defect corrections, restrictions, and bypasses at no additional charge. For further information, consult the IBM Software Support Handbook found at
IBM will maintain this information for at least one year after the original licensee acquires the program (warranty period).
Program support
Enhanced support, called Subscription and Support, includes telephone assistance, as well as access to updates, releases, and versions of the program as long as support is in effect. You will be notified of discontinuance of support with 12 months' notice.
Money-back guarantee
If for any reason you are dissatisfied with the program and you are the original licensee, you may obtain a refund of the amount you paid for it, if within 30 days of your invoice date you return the program and its PoE to the party from whom you obtained it. If you downloaded the program, you may contact the party from whom you acquired it for instructions on how to obtain the refund.
For clarification, note that for programs acquired under any of IBM's On/Off Capacity on Demand (On/Off CoD) software offerings, this term does not apply since these offerings apply to programs already acquired and in use by you.

Sub-capacity terms and conditions
For each System z IPLA program with Value Unit pricing, the quantity of that program needed to satisfy applicable IBM terms and conditions is referred to as the required license capacity. Your required license capacity is based upon the following factors:
- The System z IPLA program you select
- The applicable Value Unit Exhibit
- The applicable terms
- Whether your current mainframes are full capacity or sub-capacity
For more information on the Value Unit Exhibit for the System z IPLA program you selected, refer to the Ordering information section.
Program Parent, number Terms if applicable 5655-V17 z/OS-based N/A 5655-V19 z/OS-based N/A 5655-V35 z/OS-based N/A 5655-V37 z/OS-based N/A 5655-V48 Reference-based 5625-DB2, 5635-DB2, 5697-N29, or 5697-P12 5655-V46 Reference-based 5625-DB2, 5635-DB2, 5697-N29, or 5697-P12 5655-V01 z/OS-based N/A
Full-capacity mainframes
In cases where full capacity is applicable, the following terms apply.
Execution based, z/OS based, full machine based: The required capacity of a System z IPLA program with these terms equals the MSU-rated capacity of the machines where the System z IPLA program executes.
For more information on mainframe MSU-rated capacities, visit
Reference based: The required license capacity of a System z IPLA program with these terms equals the license capacity of the applicable monthly license charge (MLC) program. This MLC program is called the parent program.
Sub-capacity mainframes
In cases where sub-capacity is applicable, the following terms apply.
Execution based: The required capacity of a System z IPLA sub-capacity program with these terms equals the capacity of the LPARs where the System z IPLA program executes.
z/OS based: The required license capacity of a System z IPLA program with these terms equals the license capacity of z/OS on the machines where the System z IPLA program executes.
Reference based: The required license capacity of a System z IPLA program with these terms equals the license capacity of the applicable monthly license charge (MLC) program. This MLC program is called the parent program.
Full machine based: The required license capacity of a System z IPLA program with full machine-based terms equals the MSU-rated capacity of the machines where the System z IPLA program executes.
For more information on mainframe MSU-rated capacities, refer to The IBM System z Machines Exhibit, Z125-3901, or visit the Mainframes section of the System z Exhibits Web site
For more information on sub-capacity System z IPLA terms and conditions, refer to Software Announcement 204-184, dated August 10, 2004.
For additional information for products with reference-based terms, System z IPLA sub-capacity programs with reference-based terms add value to the parent program across the environment, regardless of where in the environment the System z IPLA program executes.
An environment is defined as either a single or stand-alone machine or a qualified Parallel Sysplex. You may have one or more different environments across the enterprise. To determine the required license capacity for each System z IPLA program with referenced-based terms, each environment should be assessed separately.
When a System z IPLA sub-capacity program with reference-based terms is used in a qualified Parallel Sysplex® environment, the required license capacity of the System z IPLA program must equal with the license capacity of the parent program across the Parallel Sysplex. Qualified Parallel Sysplex refers to one:
- That meets the criteria defined in Hardware Announcement 198-001, dated January 13, 1998
- Where MLC pricing is aggregated across the sysplex
Sub-capacity eligibility
To be eligible for sub-capacity charging on select System z IPLA programs, you must first implement and comply with all terms of either sub-capacity Workload License Charges (WLC) or sub-capacity Entry Workload License Charges (EWLC). To implement sub-capacity WLC or EWLC, a machine must be System z (or equivalent). On that machine:
- All instances of the OS/390® operating system must be migrated to the z/OS operating systems
- Any licenses for the OS/390 operating system must be discontinued
- All instances of the z/OS operating systems must be running in z/Architecture® (64-bit) mode
For that machine, you must create and submit a Sub-Capacity Report to IBM each month. Sub-Capacity Reports must be generated using the Sub-Capacity Reporting Tool (SCRT). For additional information or to obtain a copy of SCRT, visit the System z Software Pricing Web site
You must comply with all of the terms of the WLC or EWLC offering, whichever is applicable:
- The complete terms and conditions of sub-capacity WLC are defined in the IBM Customer Agreement - Attachment for System z Workload License Charges (Z125-6516).
- The complete terms and conditions for sub-capacity EWLC are defined in the IBM Customer Agreement - Attachment for IBM System z 890 and 800 License Charges (Z125-6587).
Additionally, you must sign and comply with the terms and conditions specified in the amendment to the IPLA contract - Amendment for IBM System z9® and System z Programs Sub-Capacity Pricing (Z125-6929). Once the amendment is signed, the terms in the amendment replace any and all previous System z IPLA sub-capacity terms and conditions.
IBM Getting Started Sub-capacity Pricing for z/OS IPLA Software applies.
Sub-capacity utilization determination
Sub-capacity utilization is determined based on the utilization of a sub-capacity eligible reference product and machine.
On/Off CoD
To be eligible for On/Off CoD pricing, you must be enabled for temporary capacity on the corresponding hardware, and the required contract, Attachment for Customer Initiated Upgrade and IBM eServer™ On/Off Capacity on Demand - Software (Z125-6611) must be signed prior to use.
