SAS IT Resource Management uses reference data from IBM LSPR tables to calculate and include MIPS measurements in the data model that is provided for various categories of Resource Management Facility (RMF) activity (for example, systems, LPARs, workloads, workload periods, and jobs). In the case of IBM Business Class machines that include specialty processors, the SAS IT Resource Management algorithm to calculate these measurements is in error. As a result, the following error might be generated:

ERROR: The SMF data for system name is associated with a 
       mainframe model
ERROR: <number> which does not appear in your LSPR table.
ERROR: To preserve the integrity of your data mart, this job 
       will stop.

You can avoid these errors by setting the LSPR_ERROR_ON macro variable at the beginning of your staging job, as follows:

Setting the macro variable causes SAS IT Resource Management to bypass the error and continue processing. It also enables SAS IT Resource Management to set all subsequent calculations that are based on the LSPR information to missing values. The SAS log also issues the following notes, instead of issuing errors:

NOTE: The SMF data for system name is associated with a 
           mainframe model
     NOTE: <number> which does not appear in your LSPR table.
     NOTE: You coded LSPR_ERROR_ON=N to ignore this problem.
