The real activation of CBU lasts up to 90 days with a grace period of two days to prevent
sudden deactivation when the 90-day period expires. The contract duration can be set from
one to five years.
The CBU record describes the following properties related to the CBU:
Number of CP CBUs that it is possible to activate
Number of IFL CBUs that it is possible to activate
Number of ICF CBUs that it is possible to activate
Number of zIIP CBUs that it is possible to activate
Number of SAP CBUs that it is possible to activate
Number of additional CBU tests possible for this CBU record
Number of total CBU years ordered (duration of the contract)
Expiration date of the CBU contract
The record content of the CBU configuration is documented in the IBM configurator output, as
shown in Example 2-1. In the example, one CBU record is made for a 5-year CBU contract
without additional CBU tests for the activation of one CP CBU.
Example 2-1 Simple CBU record and related configuration features
On Demand Capacity Selections:
NEW00001 - CBU - CP(1) - Years(5) - Tests(0)
Expiration(09/10/2013)
Resulting feature numbers in configuration:
6817 Total CBU Years Ordered
6818 CBU Records Ordered
6820 Single CBU CP-Year
In Example 2-2, a second CBU record is added to the same configuration for two CP CBUs,
two IFL CBUs, two zAAP CBUs, and two zIIP CBUs, with five additional tests and a 5-year
CBU contract. The result is now a total number of 10 years of CBU ordered, which is the
standard five years in the first record and an extra five years in the second record.
Two CBU records from which to choose are in the system. Five additional CBU tests have
been requested. Because five years have been contracted for a total of 3 CP CBUs, two IFL
CBUs, and two zIIP CBUs, they are shown as 15, 10, and 10 CBU years for their respective
types.
Example 2-2 Second CBU record and resulting configuration features
NEW00002 - CBU - CP(2) - IFL(2) - zIIP(2)
Tests(5) - Years(5)
Resulting cumulative feature numbers in configuration:
6817 Total CBU Years Ordered
6818 CBU Records Ordered
6819 5 Additional CBU Tests
6820 Single CBU CP-Year
6822 Single CBU IFL-Year
6828 Single CBU zIIP-Year
