2 Description ALCS V2.3 will be the base for exploiting the new 64-bit addressing functions of current and future versions of OS/390 and z/os. All enhancements shipped as program temporary fixes (PTFs) since the release of ALCS V2.2 have been consolidated in V2.3. This new release of ALCS, V2.3, has the following new facilities and enhancements: Real storage above 2 GB, 64-bit addressing The availability of 64-bit addressing allows ALCS to use real memory above 2 GB, thus removing memory constraints and freeing memory for the use by applications and other subsystems. Online Communications Table Maintenance (OCTM) This facility allows the dynamic reconfiguration of the communications network without scheduled outages. System takeover facility The system takeover facility allows for a hot ALCS standby system, which significantly reduces the time required for planned and unplanned switchovers. queue handler The queue handler manages the queueing of outbound messages, while the path to the remote destination is unavailable. Multiple TCP/IP listeners This facility allows the use of multiple ports for the simultaneous reception of transactions by multiple TCP/IP applications. Virtual IP addressing (VIPA) This facility makes TCP/IP applications independent of physical Internal Protocol (IP) addresses, improving the ease of system management. Long-term pool monitoring enhancement This enhancement provides more accurate control over the use of long-term file pools. Product positioning The Airline Control System, a member of IBM s family of Transaction Processing Facility products, continues to be enhanced to stay up to date with information technology and customer requirements. Enhancements are aimed at meeting the following main objectives: As mainframe processors, their operating systems, and related middleware evolve, ALCS will continue to exploit relevant new facilities. The ALCS User Group defines new customer requirements and agrees with IBM regarding priority and timing of their development. One of the objectives of ALCS is to be API-compatible with TPF4.1 and to support TPFDF. Any API changes to those two products, that are relevant to ALCS customers, are also made to ALCS. The new release of ALCS, V2.3, is a milestone in this ongoing process of enhancements, and all future enhancements will be based on the new release.

Product LPAR utilization capacity for a VWLC product is the highest number of MSUs utilized by the combined LPARs in which a VWLC product runs concurrently during a reporting period. The number of MSUs is based on the highest observed rolling 4-hour average utilization used by the combination of the relevant LPARs during the reporting period. Refer to Software Announcement , dated October 3, 2000, Software Announcement , dated September 11, 2001, and Software Announcement , dated April 30, 2002 for additional details on IBM Workload License Charges. Sub-Capacity charges terms and conditions zseries software charges at less than full machine capacity for eligible VWLC products apply when z/os is running in z/architecture (64 bit) mode on an IBM zseries 900, no other MVS-based operating system is licensed to that server and the required information is provided by the customer in accordance with the applicable terms
7 Sub-capacity charges for a VWLC product is based on the utilization of the LPARs where/when the product executes. To obtain charges at less than full machine capacity for VWLC products the customer is required to: Sign and abide by the terms of the Attachment for zseries Workload License Charges Pre-ILM (Z ). Obtain the latest version of the Sub-Capacity Reporting Tool. Install any VWLC product and zseries 900 Licensed Internal Code (LIC) service required for sub-capacity charging. Required service will be listed on the WLC web site, Collect SMF data as required by the Sub-Capacity Reporting Tool. Retain the collected SMF data for a period of not less than six months. Use the IBM provided Sub-Capacity Reporting Tool to process the collected SMF data. The Sub-Capacity Report produced by the tool is used to determine required license capacity for the VWLC products. Required license capacity is determined based on the largest MSU value of a VWLC product running concurrently in all LPARs during the reporting period. IBM reserves the right to request the system data that supports these product-defined capacity values for a period of up to six months after the data was collected. Provide an initial Sub-Capacity Report to begin to receive the benefits of less than full machine capacity charges. Sub-capacity charging will follow submission of a Sub-Capacity Report. There will be no retroactive application of sub-capacity charges. Submit Sub-Capacity Reports monthly. Submit Sub-Capacity Reports for all VWLC products with complete data for the entire reporting period to the address and by the date, specified on the zseries Software Pricing Web site: and in the current Workload License Charge Exhibit (Z ). Sub-Capacity Reports that reflect a changed product defined capacity will be considered to be orders placed by the customer without further action on the customer s part and IBM is authorized to make any resulting billing increase or decrease. To place an order for a new license or to discontinue licenses, move licenses between machines, report a hardware model upgrade or enable or disable product features, the customer must contact IBM or their IBM Business Partner. Configure machine to send weekly Transmit System Availability Data (TSAD) to IBM via the zseries 900 Remote Support Facility (RSF).
