There are many Reporting Processes but those that are useful in helping you manage your monthly license charges are below:
•
Analyze the Peak Workloads
•
Review workload placement - can workloads be combined
onto a single LPAR?
•
zIIP processor usage
Some examples

How to calculate MLC
•
Calculation
is made for the period from the 2nd day of the month to the 1st
day of the next month.
•
MLC
is charged based on the maximum value of total R4HA MSU of all LPARs during the
calculation period.
•
Charge
for each IBM software product is made for the period while the product is running.
(Except z/OS)
