Client activation code request
Developer for z/OS® clients require an activation code to enable all features. With VU-based licensing, the z/OS based server is capable of providing an activation code with a limited life span when a client requests an activation code, thus enabling the client upon connect. Developer for z/OS creates a SMF type 122, subtype 1 record each time a client requests an activation code.
Refer to section "Product enablement in IFAPRDxx" in the Host Configuration Guide to learn if your Developer for z/OS host is enabled to provide activation codes.
SMF record type 122, subtype 1, has a product header and up to
6 data sections when used for an activation code request:
- Header section: Generic header for this SMF record
- Data section 1, Creator ID: Identify which server created the SMF record
- Data section 2, Server initialization: Holds server initialization information
- Data section 3, VU license handler status: Holds information on activation code request processing
- Data section 4, Client UUID: Holds unique client identifier
- Data section 5, Client labels: Holds labels that describe additional client data
- Data section 6, Client data: Holds additional data that describes the client.
