See Example 2: Placing a product under the measured usage option for an explanation of the “Customer No”, “Software Vendor”, and “For Collection Purposes Only” sections.

The “Report Date Due” section now indicates a date of 28Sep95 for IMS™ TM, due to the START date of 19950815. This is the date by which IBM® must receive the Software Usage Report with IMS TM usage to place IMS TM under the MULC option. The next due date for BatchPipes®, CICS® and TSO/E, however, continues to be listed as 14Oct95. This is the same date that was calculated for the original processor. The TRANSFER process did not change this date. Although the customer had to transfer the product licenses from the old to the new processor, use of this control statement, by itself, does not require that the resulting Software Usage Report be sent to IBM.

The “Measurement Period End Dates” section lists the last date for the current IMS TM measurement as 14Sep95. The end dates for all the other products remain as 30Sep95. This date also hasn't changed from the date set for the previous processor.

The “Processor” section is different as a result of the TRANSFER control statement. This section now lists both the old and new processors together with the Begin-End dates for which usage data has been processed for each. The 9021-952 processor will continue to appear on this report until September of 1995 when all the data that it generated will be too old (more than 12 months) to appear.

The “For Billing Purposes Only” section lists the usage values from both of these processors as if the usage was from a single processor. Because TRANSFER only supports a non-overlap upgrade, none of the values listed should be the aggregate of both processor's usage. All the values before August 15th are from the 9021-952. All the values after August 15th are from the 9021-972. The values for the 15th are from one or the other of these processors.

Because a PRODUCT control statement started IMS TM after the TRANSFER control statement, IMS TM usage values are printed in the “Billing” section starting with the month (August) provided as the START date. The range of dates listed below IMS TM and prefixed by an “*” , indicate the begin-end dates of the initial monthly measurement for IMS TM. The begin date was provided via the START value of 19950815. The end date was calculated by the program.

The IMS TM usage value under the August column is followed by an “#”, which indicates that the initial measurement period was still incomplete, and additional measurement data must be collected and processed prior to sending this Software Usage Report in to IBM.

The current usage values for BatchPipes, CICS and TSO/E are also listed in this section of the report. After the initial month, IMS TM's measurement period will be synchronized to the measurement period already established on that processor by the first product START. The next measurement period for the remaining three products will end September 30th.

In order to place IMS TM under the MULC option, a copy of the Software Usage Report that was produced as a result of processing all the SMF type 89 records up to and including September 15th must be received by IBM by September 28, 1995, as indicated in the “Report Due Date” section. The fact that BatchPipes, CICS and TSO/E also appear in the “Billing” section does not matter, because all of these products have previously had their MULC prices set.
