Pete,

Sure now you say this... :)

However, are you sure about that?

I'll double check with the BP, but as I recall he claimed to have doubled
check himself...

I think he copied and pasted from the configurator (?)..
0495 BOTC DB2 Multisystem 1 25,000.00 OTC B

This article also mentions the 25K price of multisystem on a 720...

Lastly, a private reply to my original post claimed, "original pricing was
[at least rumored to be] specifically chosen so as to discourage purchasing
by any entity not _very committed_ to gaining the function"

Charles,

I think your BP needed a new car, and was expecting you to finance
it.

DB2 MultiSystem for a P10, is $2,000. I don't have the cost for a
P05, but I would assume it would be less.

Rob,

That sticks. Interesting, I don't see your requirement here:
http://requirements.common.org/powerbase/fetch/

I'm curious, did your requirement mention anything about the lake of local
partitioning prevents me from moving to DDL when I'm using an existing app
designed with multi-member PF's?

To bad that COMMON apparently doesn't allow you to vote on requests like
RDi does.
Maybe all just add my own.

regarding COMMON request (#367) to unbundle local partitioning from
DB2 multisystem

Summary: Ain't going to happen.

Details:
Below is IBM's response to your requirement. IBM has rejected it.

If unbundling equates to allowing local partitioning to be used
without having to purchase DB2 Multisystem, we are not going to
unbundle it. DB2 Multisystem has unique value<truncated> We have
recently come up with a way for clients to evaluate DB2 Multisystem
for up to 70 days without having to formally purchase it. Rob would
have already heard about this option, which goes through our Lab Based
Services team.

Right on brother! I've asked that they unbundle partitioning from DB2
Multisystem. I think I've submitted both a DCR and a COMMON request
(#367). Well, I just added the COMMON one, and it told me #367, but I
don't see it upon review.

How does one say "Amen!" to a COMMON request? I'd like to add mine to
Larry's #361.

Working with our BP to configure a new POWER8 box...

Just a small S814 (8286-41A), P05 tier, using 1 core for IBM i

One addition I'd asked for was DB2 Multisystem (5770-ss1 option 27).
Simply because I'd like to be able to have locally partitioned tables;
particularly for historical data.

$25,000

Are you kidding me IBM? One LICPGM cost more than the rest of the OS?

That's just nuts.

Mainly just venting, as I don't expect this post do solve anything.
