Mobile Workload Pricing for z/OS Benefits

Improves the cost of growth for mobile transactions processed in System z environments such as CICS, IMS, DB2, MQ, and WAS

Mobile Workload Pricing (MWP) for z/OS enhances Sub-Capacity pricing• Mitigates the impact of Mobile on MLC charges where higher transaction volumes cause a spike in

machine utilization• Normalizes the rate of transaction growth

No major infrastructure changes required, no separate LPARs needed• It is an enhanced way of reporting sub-capacity MSUs• System runs as it always has, workload execution is not altered

Hardware requirements Available to all enterprises running a zEC12 or zBC12 server (actual mobile work may run

on any zEnterprise machine including z196 and z114)

Mobile Workload Pricing Reporting Process New Mobile Workload Reporting Tool (MWRT) – available 30 June 2014

A new Windows-based Java tool to report sub-capacity MSUs and make adjustments to reported LPAR MSUs based on Mobile transaction data

• Standard SCRT methodology plus new feature to adjust for Mobile workload impact

• New tool will replace SCRT for customers who take advantage of Mobile Workload Pricing

Customers must track mobile transactions and produce a file showing mobile CPU consumption (general purpose processors) each month

• Record mobile program transaction data CPU seconds, on an hourly basis per LPAR per program

• Load the resulting data file(s) into MWRT each month (IBM-specified CSV format)

• Run MWRT and submit the results to IBM each month (Replaces SCRT process)

MSU adjustments and monthly peak calculation for billing MWRT will subtract 60% of the reported Mobile MSUs from a given LPAR in each hour,

adjusting the total LPAR MSU value for that hour

• This will function like a partial “off-load” from a software pricing perspective (real system processing is completely unchanged)

• When an LPAR value is adjusted, all software running in the LPAR will benefit from lower MSUs

• Tool will calculate the monthly MSU peak for a given machine using the adjusted MSU values

Example: Sample LPAR MSU values by hour

SCRT calculates the Rolling 4-Hour Average (R4HA) MSU peak All workloads are included

Peak R4HA value = 1404 MSUs


Chart 6


LPAR MSU values adjusted for mobile contribution

MWRT removes 60% of the Mobile workload billing, interval-by-interval Non-mobile workload contribution to billing is unchanged Billing MSUs for the month are based upon the newly calculated R4HA curve

after the mobile workload has been reduced

New Peak R4HA Value = 1231 MSUs MWRT savings = 173 MSUs

Provides benefit when Mobile workloads contribute to monthly peak MSUs;Off-peak MSU adjustments will not affect MSUs used for billing.

Original Peak R4HA value = 1404 MSUs

Identifying Mobile Transaction Workload Customers are responsible for processing their mobile transaction data into a

predefined format to be loaded into MWRT for each sub-capacity reporting period. IBM must approve the data gathering methodology.

The data must consist of general purpose processor CPU seconds for each mobile transaction program summarized by hour by LPAR for all machines processing mobile transactions. Detailed instructions, including CSV file format, available in the MWRT Users Guide.

New MWP Contract Addendum & Supplement Mobile Workload Pricing is available for Mobile workloads running on a

zEC12 or zBC12 server with AWLC or AEWLC sub-capacity pricing

Alternatively, if you install and operate a zEC12 or zBC12 in your enterprise you will be eligible for MWP when running a Mobile Workload Pricing Defining Program on a z196 or z114 server with sub-capacity pricing

There is a new contract Addendum and accompanying Supplement:

Addendum for System z Mobile Workload Pricing (Z126-6300)

• Terms and conditions to receive MWP benefit for AWLC, AEWLC, zNALC billing

Supplement to the Addendum for System z MWP (Z126-6628)

• Customer explains how they tag/track their Mobile application CPU time

Agreement to and compliance with the terms and conditions specified in the MWP contract Addendum is required

If the MWP Addendum is not implemented, MWRT Reports will be rejected!
