filespace capacity and utilization should reflect allocated and used space in the databases protected

Today it is not possible to check capacity and utilization of the databases protected, as the filespaces is not updated with the figures

    IBM has evaluated the request, and has determined that it does not align with the current multi-year strategy. This request may be resubmitted for consideration after 18 months from the date of submission. The request submitter will automatically be notified by email when the request qualifies for reconsideration and resubmission.

    But, I think you may be able to meet your charge back requirements today using existing functionality. The "used capacity" of the databases is now reported to the Spectrum Protect Server (as of 7.1.3) with the SUR FE capacity reporting. This value is stored in a new "protectsize" field in the Filespace table. You could also query this information using a SELECT statement like this: SELECT protectsize,filespace_name FROM FILESPACES WHERE (NODE_NAME='DUCK_EXC').
