I run SCRT on my z/VSE Systems, and have been for a couple years, or so, now. So, no, SCRT isn't just for z/OS.

Isn't the ibm tool just for z/os and at the LPAR level? nothing to do with what goes on inside z/vm. nothing to do with what goes on inside linux for specific licensing. I've been asked to provide such information by another vendor, and that function will be released shortly. This allows the 4 hour rolling average for linux servers (x or z), pools of linux servers, groups of linux servers, and can be done for applications inside linux as well. It can also be used for VSE if anyone cares. So I've led the horse to water.
