Any product or application can measure usage. If you are a software vendor or application owner, use the information in this topic to enable your software product to measure its usage, perhaps to participate in measured usage pricing.
The measurement function collects data using SMF record types 30 and 89. SMF record type 30 (Version 5 only) contains usage data for the product's address space. System-wide usage data for each product is recorded on SMF record type 89. The control and writing of these records is the same as for any SMF record type.
