Configuration and licensing recognition for CPU affinity with distributed MQ

Hello,

I have requested the following RFE -> http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=40399

Please vote if you would like to see this enhancement.

Description:
This RFE is for the MQ administrator to be able to configure CPU affinity for the MQ queue manager on distributed platforms. For example, if the queue manager was running on a 20 CPU server, the administrator would be able to set a configuration parameter so that queue manager would only run on 2 of the CPUs. This RFE is also requesting that MQ sub-capacity licensing and ILMT (IBM License Metric Tool) would recognize this as an acceptable sub-capacity licensing approach, and for the above example MQ would only be licensed for 2 CPUs on the 20 CPU server.

Use Case:
An MQ administrator wants to leverage the benefits of the MQ Server queue manager on a 20 core application server, but only really needs two CPUs to account for the MQ CPU usage. This would allow the administrator to have a more cost effective away (instead of using the MQ Client on the application server and putting the MQ queue manager on a different server which loses some of the benefits of having the application bind locally to the queue manager) to leverage the benefits of the queue manager being on the same server as the application.

Business Justification:
This will allow MQ administrators to leverage more of the benefits of having the queue managers run on the same server as the applications, at a more cost effective approach.
