  *                      variable capacity records for Tailor    *

  ****************************************************************
  To support variable capacity records for Tailor Fit Pricing
  for IBM Z hardware the z/OS Data Gatherer collects model-
  variable capacity identifier and ratings. This new information
  is stored in the CPU Control Section of SMF record type 70
  subtype 1 and in the Home LPAR Section of Monitor III CPC data
  control block (ERBCPCDB).
  When APAR OA64781 is installed, SMF type 70.1 records with
  SMF record level x'90' are written. The version of measurement
  table ERBCPCDB (CPC_VerNum), located at offset x5 in the header
  section of CPCDB, is set to 13/x'0D'.
  
  SMF REST Services and SMF Explorer are updated to exploit the
  new mapping schema of SMF record type 70.
