The usage report program, IFAURP, makes no distinction between IBM® and vendor data appearing in the SMF type 89 records. All usage data passed to IFAURP (data not excluded from IFAURP processing by a vendor exit) is processed the same and appears on all the reports generated by IFAURP. The Software Usage Report does, however, create separate reports for each unique vendor/processor or vendor/sysplex combination.

Every SMF type 89 usage data section not excluded by the vendor exit and passed to IFAURP is processed as follows:

1. Type 89 record fields SMF89UCT and SMF89USR are summed and used as the basis for the product's usage. No support currently exists for processing the resource data field (SMF89URD).
2. Product usage is aggregated for each hour as follows:
   1. Usage for products having identical SMF89UPO (PRODOWNER), SMF89UPN (PRODNAME), and SMF89UPQ (PRODQUAL) fields is aggregated and printed as a single value, even though the SMF89UPV (PRODVERS) and SMF89UPI (PRODID) fields for the products differ.
      Note: The value found in SMF89UPQ is not considered to be part of the match criteria when the product name (SMF89UPN) is "DB2®".
   2. When multiple type 89 records are produced for the same collection interval (for example, the SMF89ISD, SMF89IET, and SMF89IED fields), the appropriate usage data sections are summed into the correct collection interval. Duplicate SMF type 89 data usage sections are detected and ignored prior to the vendor exit.
   3. Product usage is aggregated across all LPARs on a processor or across all processors defined to a sysplex.
3. Product usage is converted into CPU Service Units. The fourth highest hourly CPU Service Unit value for each month, for which usage data has been found, is printed on the Software Usage Report. This value is printed in millions of SUs with the smallest printed value being 1,000 SUs per hour. If the number of service units is less than .001, a zero (0) appears in the report. If there is no usage present, a dash (-) appears in the report. Usage data for up to the last 12 months is printed on the report.
4. Product names and usage values for vendors is printed in the "Billing" or "Collection" section of the Software Usage Report following the same conditions as IBM products.
