Has IBM opened up the ZIP and ZAP TCBS to software vendors/developers ? It was my understanding that IBM did not want to disclose that.
AFAIK, IBM has not disclosed an interface for running task (TCB) mode work on a specialty engine, but clearly such an interface does exist. For example, the JVM, the z/OS XML Parser, and some other IBM-written code can run in task mode on zAAP. Starting in z/OS 1.11, zAAP-eligible TCBs can be dispatched on zIIP if there are no zAAPs installed. -- Edward E Jaffe Phoenix Software International, Inc 831 Parkview Drive North El Segundo, CA 90245 310-338-0400 x318 [email protected] http://www.phoenixsoftware.com/
