@aishwarya_t - FlexNet Manager does not have any native support for the Mainframe, neither Inventory or License Consumption. This is why the metric is created as a Custom Field. You would need a tool that does Mainframe Discovery/Inventory to calculate the MSU Consumption and enter this value into the Custom Metric license in FlexNet.

As Kirk notes - FNMS cannot inventory the Mainframe.
So the Custom Metric license type is used as a default - allowing manual consumption to be populated, which is relevant for MSU licensed programs.
But - FNMS can help convert manually confirmed MSU consumption into VUE (Value Unit Exhibit) license consumption using VUE (managed under RVU type) points rule tables where your IBM Mainframe licenses are licensed on a VUE metric.
For further details I recommend you read the 'Appendix 1: Managing IBM Mainframe Licenses' in the FNMS 'IBM Best Practice' guide available in the Learning Center

Unable to find VUE for IBM Db2 for z/OS Data Gate 1.1.0.0 in IBM License information portal.
MSUs will be 4000 and to convert MSU to VUE, I have exhibited below options in Flexera. Referred Appendix 1 in IBM Best Practice guide License type: RVU Metric: Value units Resources consumed: 4000 Point Rule Set: ?? This is not automatically suggested by Flexera. Application name: IBM Db2 for z/OS Data Gate 1.1.0.0
@aishwarya_t The IBM Db2 for z/OS Data Gate 1.1.0.0 in the License Information Document and Announcement letter (links below) show this is not licensed on MSU / VUE but instead licensed on Virtual Processor Cores (as defined in the LID).
