Marc, Just to clarify (and as a public service): the skills required for WebSphere VE for z/OS are a relatively small increment over WebSphere Application Server for z/OS, generally speaking. (The VE features simply build on the WAS foundation.) Would you (and your client) also be interested in responses from consultants who know WAS for z/OS? If so, that would increase the number of people who could respond favorably yet still likely meet or exceed your client's requirements.
Alternatively, if your client is focused on the unique/additional VE functionalities, then experience with those functionalities on any WAS platform should be sufficient if your client already has what they need for WAS z/OS skills. So you could cast a wider net in that direction. Finally, you may also want to add "...or the Operations Optimization features in WebSphere Extended Deployment (WebSphere XD)." WebSphere Virtual Enterprise was known as Operations Optimization until it got a proper (or at least different) name, so anyone with Operations Optimization background should also be eligible. Hope that helps. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan / Asia-Pacific E-Mail: timothy.sipp...@us.ibm.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
