If you absolutely cannot figure out how to get zIIP or zAAP eligibility turned on for certain products, and you suspect you're consequently undercalling the eligibility in your test measurements, you might want to talk to your IBM rep.
As one option, under OOCoD (On Off Capacity On Demand) terms you could activate a zAAP and/or zIIP for even just one day, run your tests, and either shut the engine(s) off or buy it(them) permanently, depending on the results. OOCoD is available at least for any zAAP- or zIIP-capable system. The worst that would happen is you'd pay the one day specialty engine charge. As another option, if you are licensing z/VM then you can configure z/VM to simulate a zAAP and/or zIIP (on CP capacity) and run your tests that way. This second option should at least tell you whether further investigation is merited. There was some discussion about this z/VM feature in another recent thread here. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan / Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
