Well, Seems as our argument from a few days ago about what will run on a ZAAP is changing.... From the announcement below:
z/OS XML to be enabled for both zAAP and zIIP specialty engines In z/OS V1.8, IBM introduced a new element of z/OS, z/OS XML System Services (z/OS XML). z/OS XML is a system-level XML parser integrated with the base z/OS operating system and is designed to deliver an optimized set of services for parsing XML documents (z/OS XML has also been made available on z/OS V1.7). The initial beneficiaries of this system component were middleware and applications requiring high-performance non-validating XML parsing. z/OS XML may currently be accessed by an Assembler programming interface and one of the first exploiters, DB2(r) 9 for z/OS, uses this Assembler interface for XML native support. IBM plans to add C/C++ support for z/OS XML with z/OS V1.9, satisfying the Statement of Direction in Software Announcement 206-039 , dated February 28, 2006. ________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Principal Systems Programmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] 616.653.8429 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Birger Heede Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2007 3:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: z9 Hardware update http://tinyurl.com/32lgs6 Its not dead yet For May availability This e-mail transmission contains information that is confidential and may be privileged.
