A vendor could write SMF Type 89 records that record something other than MSUs. IBM actually does this with their Check Processing Control System (CPCS) and imaging software. Those products write Type 89 records that record the number of items processed. I have to run those Type 89 records through a special program near the end of the year and send reports to IBM to determine the charges for the products for the next year based on the number of items processed. The upshot is that any vendor could have its software write TYPE 89 records with any kind of costing metric recorded in them, and then have a program to process that and report on it.
SMF 70 records have the information needed to compute peak monthly R4HA. SMF89 is used by SCRT only to keep track of when a product was active, to know whether the associated R4HA CPU samples should be considered, when calculating the peak monthly R4HA.
