IIRC, we were using email but were told he had to convert to the interactive web submission. We did. Later, we applied to use the email again to have a way to submit when the web process failed. That was long ago, but we have heard nothing to date.
OBTW, we also email the CSV to ourselves for vetting and approval. We used to simply forward the email, but now someone has to intervene. Not a big deal, just annoying and an opportunity for error. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Greg Shirey Sent: Thursday, June 10, 2010 9:35 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: SCRT Copy List I think you're right about IBM not wanting customers to *completely* automate the submission process, but Dave did not suggest that - he said he runs the SCRT program and emails the result to himself so he can check it. We do that here as well, but where our process differs from Dave's is that we simply forward the CSV file on to IBM if it is correct, rather than rerun the job with a different email ID. (But since he's CC'ing others, I understand why he does it..) I'm curious about your statement that IBM would not authorize your shop to email your SCRT output. Their website seems to indicate that it is up to the customer. From http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/resources/swprice/subcap/scrt/submit.htm l "Unless you have been informed otherwise, all Sub-Capacity customers in countries where the License Management Support (LMS) application has been implemented must use LMS to submit your subcapacity reports to IBM. You may choose either of the following methods to send your subcapacity report to LMS: * LMS Web to upload and submit your subcapacity report using the LMS Web interface. * LMS eMail to send your subcapacity report to LMS as an e-mail attachment."

We wanted to use the email option, but IBM won't authorize us to use that path.. I believe that IBM once said that they really don't want customers automating the process. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html NOTICE: This electronic mail message and any files transmitted with it are intended exclusively for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
