Issue/Introduction

Do Datacom/DB and Datacom/AD require license keys (LMP)? Which are the license requirements for their components?

Environment

z/OS

 

Resolution

Both Datacom/DB and Datacom/AD require license keys.

  • The Datacom/AD 15.1 for z/OS package consists of:
    • Datacom/DB (with Datacom Datadictionary ) 15.1
    • Datacom SQL 15.1
    • Datacom Server 15.1
    • Inter-Product Components (IPC) 15.1

All the above product components operate under the same LMPKEY - product code "AX", so a single LMP key is required.
Additional details can be found on Readme for Datacom/AD 15.1 section of AD documentation.
 

  • The Datacom/DB 15.1 for z/OS package consists of:
    • Datacom/DB
    • Datacom Datadictionary
    • Dataquery for Datacom
    • Datacom SQL
    • Datacom Support for MetaCOBOL
    • Datacom Presspack
    • Datacom Fast Restore

All the above product components except Datacom Presspack, which requires a separate license, operate under the same LMPKEY - product code "BD".
Additional details can be found on README Information for 15.1 section of Datacom/DB documentation. 
There are a number of additional components that are not installed via the Datacom/DB 15.1 for z/OS package but operate also under the "BD" product code (see Portfolio Simplification for Datacom page on Datacom/DB 15.1 documentation):

    • Datacom CICS Services
    • Datacom VSAM Transparency
    • Datacom Server
    • Ideal Option for VSAM
