Enabling the IBM Subcapacity Reporting Tool
The IBM Subcapacity Reporting Tool (SCRT) is a no-charge IBM tool that reports required license capacity for subcapacity eligible products that run on IBM® z/OS®. For information on SCRT, refer to http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/swprice/scrt/. For information on System z software pricing, refer to http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/swprice/. The input for SCRT tool is a sequential data set containing SMF 89 records, subtypes 1 and 2, for all the LPARs on the specified CPCs. At start up, IBM WebSphere® Portal writes a string into SMF. Later, when the SCRT tool is invoked to process the SMF records, the tool recognizes that WebSphere Portal is installed in the LPAR(s) and is eligible for subcapacity pricing.

In addition, WebSphere Portal also reports SMF89-1 data through a registration with IBM WebSphere Application Server. During the start up time, WebSphere Application Server detects a registrar file that is part of the configuration filesystem and then produces the appropriate records.
To enable WebSphere Portal for SCRT, configure the z/OS system to record SMF 89 records.
