Batch Product Authorization
BMC Software, Inc., Confidential and Proprietary Information
Appendix A BMC Software Product Authorization A-27
Additional Information
This panel displays the CPU serial and model numbers for the processor on
which TSO is currently running. It also displays the version code of the
processor. The version code is the hardware representation of the submodel
(for example, the 942 in ES/9000-942 or the 600 for a 3090-600 processor).
If you experience problems, your BMC Software Technical Support Analyst
may need this information.
Note: Version code X'FF' indicates that MVS is running as a VM guest.
This X'FF' is not the real processor version code. To determine the
real version code, run the
LIST option of the Batch Product
Authorization utility from an APF-authorized library. See Table A-6,
“Control Statement Keywords,” on page 29 for more information.
This panel also displays the number of processors that are online to the
current operating system. This information may apply to your BMC Software
License Agreement.
Note: The information that is displayed on this panel might not refer to a
computer on which you are licensed to run a BMC Software product.
For example, if you log on to TSO on SYSA but run your BMC
Software product on SYSB, your product-authorization entries might
refer to SYSB.
Batch Product Authorization
This section describes the batch interface that is used for product
authorization. To use the online interface, see “Online Product
Authorization” on page A-10.
Using the batch interface, you can perform the following tasks:
• process a password
• obtain current product authorization and processor information
Running Batch Product Authorization
Figure A-14 on page A-28 is a sample JCL script for running batch product
authorization. See “Additional Information” on page A-28 for descriptions of
the information in the JCL script. You can find product-specific JCL samples
in HLQ.CNTL or in the output JCL data set. Select the member prdCPUID,
where the variable prd is the three-character product code, and then follow
the instructions in the comments section of that member.
