There are additional requirements for running on zIIP processors than simply running in SRB mode. The SRB will have to be associated with a WLM enclave, and it will need to be marked as "zIIP eligible" and as of yet, the API's do to this have not been disclosed to the public by IBM. Remember that zIIP processors were designed with DB2 in mind. Wayne Driscoll Product Developer JME Software LLC NOTE: All opinions are strictly my own.

It was just an idea, if there was a possibility to move some CPU intensiv pieces of code out to the upcoming zIIP processors (requires SRB envlave mode). In our shop the main cost driver is CPU. Nevertheless, I assume there are more issues waiting, if calling routines as SRB. In high level languages it would be hardly possible to ensure the SRB restrictions such as not calling SVCs etc. Not to mention the authorization issues for normal programs. If that were possible I would have continued to investigate if SRBs could be used in IMS transactions. Some of our IMS transactions do a lot of scanning of in memory tables, which requires a lot of CPU. Since this pieces of code just do memory work, I thought that were candidates for SRBs, since those code sections do not use any IMS services or SVCs. Thanks for your responses.

No. But why would you?
