Pricing Pledge

PHX-BDT is fully supported, and can be implemented by existing IBM BDT customers through a trivial migration and at no additional cost.
Initial contract cost will closely match what customers are currently paying for IBM BDT.
Any subsequent price increases will not exceed the percentage price increases implemented by IBM.
Annual licensing in place of MLC.

What is PHX-BDT?

PHX-BDT lets you transfer data from one computer system to another. The type of data that it transfers depends on which of its features is installed:

The File-to-File feature allows users at one z/OS JES2 or z/OS JES3/JES3^plus system in a SNA network to copy data sets to or from another system in the network.
The SNA NJE feature allows z/OS JES3 users to transmit jobs, output (SYSOUT), commands, and messages from one computer system to another within a SNA network.

Use these tables to list all CPCs where PHX-BDT will be installed.

MSU Aggregation for Actively Coupled Systems (IBM PricingPlex) Eligibility

If applicable, indicate CPCs eligible for aggregation w/IBM as part of an IBM PricingPlex. Select coupled CPCs by clicking the choices under a PricingPlex column (see below for qualification information).

Aggregate Pricing Qualification Information

For z/OS^® systems, you can sometimes aggregate MSUs associated with a sub-capacity eligible product across a Parallel Sysplex^®. Aggregation means when you run the sub-capacity eligible product in multiple LPARs on CPCs which are all part of the same Parallel Sysplex, you pay the base charge for the product only once. The values shown on the sub-capacity report are not affected by aggregation, but IBM^® adds up all the MSUs for aggregated products across each CPC in the sysplex when calculating your charges for those products. For aggregation, the Parallel Sysplex must meet the following requirements:

All CPCs in the Parallel Sysplex must be physically attached via coupling links to a common coupling facility and via timer links to a common external time reference (such as the Sysplex Timer).
Images in the sysplex must account for 50 percent of the total MVS™ workload on each machine during prime business hours. In other words, MVS-based LPARs participating in the sysplex must represent at least half of the CPC’s MVS-based processing capability.
All images in the sysplex must have at least one common systems enablement function activated to use the coupling facility. For a list of system enablement functions, see z/OS systems enablement functions.

At least one of these common systems enablement functions must be activated on all images in a sysplex for the software on that sysplex to participate in a pricing aggregation.
