Re: EDI and LPAR

Tough question.  Each partition reports the same system values:

     QMODEL
     QPRCFEAT
     QSRLNBR

IBM provides an API to bring back the partition ID, but then you would have
to manage and transmit that stuff.

If you used the IBM licensing product, 57xxSM1, you could use the "usage
feature" (similar to the number of total across platform users in Client
Access, or to the total number of tapes enrolled in BRMS), but the
implementation is not trivial.  Never the less, it does handle
inter-partition communications for licensing issues.

Currently we are running our EDI software on a separate box.  It is the ACS
Network Systems/Premenos/Harbinger/Peregrine/whatever their nom du jour is.
Boss wants to seriously evaluate moving it from our 720-206A to our
840-23EA.  Price was extremely salty.  Now I've been told that they offer a
significant discount if we LPAR the 840.  I've not read the terms and
conditions.  But I am kind of curious.  How does one enforce that you are
staying within limits within a partition?
