I might have said something incorrect on this topic earlier, although I don't think it applies to John's situation. Parallel Sysplex pricing is better than I implied previously.
If you've got Parallel Sysplex, and you only license the C/C++ compiler to one physical machine, then you'll only be charged on that machine (based on total regular z/OS MSUs or total zNALC z/OS MSUs, depending on which side of that "fence" you've installed the compiler). For some reason I was thinking of DFSMStvs (another z/OS element) which, presumably, you'd be installing on both machines in a Parallel Sysplex for functional reasons. I think I implied that both machines would get charged if you only have the compiler on one, and that's not correct. Sorry for the confusion. As a tip, if you don't put the C/C++ compiler on both machines you'll likely want to put the compiler on the "smaller" machine in a Parallel Sysplex. Smaller is defined as the machine which typically clocks lower total z/OS MSUs (regular or zNALC, as appropriate) each month. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Specializing in Software Architectures Related to System z Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan and IBM Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
