Example 3: Identifying non-IBM processors for measured usage

The following example is identical to Example 2: Placing a product under the measured usage option except that the processor involved in not an IBM® processor. Several non-IBM processors identify themselves to MVS™ as IBM type 3090 or 9021 processors. As a result, the SMF type 89 records collected on these processors incorrectly identifies the usage data as being collected on a specific type-model IBM processor. Because type-model determines the SU factor to be used to calculate the service unit values reported for each product, the correct type-model information must be provided by the customer on the PROCESSOR control statement. Otherwise, the usage values on the Software Usage Report are invalid. Supported type-model values are listed in Type-model values for IBM and non-IBM processors.

The report printed for Example 2: Placing a product under the measured usage option could have represented data collected on a HDS-GX8524 processor. If the data was from such a processor, the customer must substitute the following PROCESSOR control statement for the sample statement used in Example 2:

PROCESSOR((9021,GX8524,01111)

If that were done, the following Software Usage Report would have been produced. Notice that the processor's Type-Model value appears as HDS-GX8524. In this particular case the SU Factor listed on the report did not change, except for rounding, but that is not true for all cases of non-IBM processors.
