In order for you to place IBM® products under MULC or ULC, you must do more than sign the IBM Customer Agreement Attachment for the pricing option you wish to use, and collect SMF type 89 subtype 1 records from all LPARs on a processor as described in Usage accounting. You must also post process the SMF type 89 subtype 1 records using the usage report program together with the appropriate control statements. You determine which IBM products you would like placed under MULC or ULC by placing those products in the “For Billing Purposes” section of the Software Usage Report via specific control statements. Products appearing in this section are used to signal your intent to have IBM bill these products under one of these usage pricing options. Products appearing in the “For Collection Purposes Only” will not be placed under a usage pricing option. You decide when a MULC or ULC product has met the appropriate eligibility requirement and whether or not you want it placed under a usage pricing option. The following set of examples describe the steps involved in deciding which products to place under MULC or ULC and which control statements to use to place a product in the “Billing” section, thereby requesting usage pricing for that product.

The examples in this section will only show the JCL required for the step that invokes the usage report program, IFAURP. Please refer to Figure 2 for an example of the JCL required for the preceding SMF dump and SORT steps. In addition to the JCL and control statements, each example shows the resulting Software Usage Report and describes the important report fields.

Examples 1 through 11 apply to MULC. Examples 12 and higher apply to ULC. Note that MULC Examples 1 through 8 build on each other as a continuous progression of measured usage activities over several months, as well as a processor upgrade. Thus, later examples refer to earlier examples for explanations. Similarly, ULC Examples 12 and higher build on each other to show a progression of S/390® Usage Pricing activities. Table 1 and Table 2 can be used to locate the examples in this section that describe usage situations, control statements, IBM products and processor types of interest.
