I am having a headache with SCRT (SCRT 28.2, SC23-6845-19 is the
manual I have).
Background -- I got moved to the z/VM side of the house doing
Capacity Management and Planning so I've mostly been gone from
z/OS for a while. I had already been doing true-ups for other
ISVs, and so when someone retired, I ended up with this one,
which is done very differently than the others. And I didn't get
a lot of turn-over for this.
I'm going to make this as simple as I can, because we have
multiple CECs and multiple groups and multiple "P5" sections, so
this gets complicated (besides IBM having to mix in VSE LPARs and
VM LPARs and z/OS running under z/VM, etc. just to make this
whole thing about as clear a mud).
I am working on as ISV "true-up" and am trying to figure out what
is meant in the SCRT "P5" section (Product Max Contributors)
*when* the entry for z/OS V2 shows each LPAR of the CEC (running
z/OS and part of the same group) all have 0 for MSUs and then the
GROUP entry (line total area) has 1500 (example). I also have
line items for CICS, and others as well that also under GROUP
have 1500.
What this particular vendor wants is the numbers for the z/OS V2
LPARs combined and put in a cell of another spreadsheet.
Up until now, the end of month (which we do at QTR end) has
numbers in the columns for each LPAR. So I take those add them
and put them in this other spreadsheet. Simple. Tedious, but simple.
This is the exception, and it appears this is because the system
missed capping in the first hour (I think that is what the manual
said/and meant -- my eyes glazed over a few times while reading
through all of this, this morning.
How do I find what the MSU value should be for each of these
LPARs or are they group capped to 1500, and that is my total?
Otherwise, who do you call at IBM that could even answer this
question?
I think I would rather read the instructions for F1040 and do it
all by hand (Base form for Personal Income tax for USofA).
And for those of you who demand details -- I'm not allowed to do
that. I'm pushing it just by asking this with faked numbers.

Steve Thompson
