Hi John,
Have a look at the following url (http://www-
03.ibm.com/systems/z/ziip/about.html) which describes a new FMID
JBB77S9 (z/OS 1.6) and JBB772S (z/OS 1.7) which allows for the
specification of keyword PROJECTCPU=YES in IEAOPTxx. This then
allows you to estimate the amount of workload that could be offloaded
onto a zAAP/zIIP. You can then use the RMF Workload Activity report to
review the information.
The above functionality will be standard in z/OS 1.8.
I am in the process of installing the above FMID on to my z/OS 1.7
environment.
Hope this helps.
Roger
