Greetings,
A couple years ago, I was researching the relationship between PSF
and the
APKACIF module within it. At the time, IBM was coming out with a new
release
of PSF which decoupled APKACIF. If you wanted APKACIF, you had to buy
the
Enhanced ACIF offering. We don't use PSF and acquired it only to be able
to
use APKACIF. I don't know anything about the product or the APKACIF
module.
A 3rd party vendor said we needed it for their process, so we got it.
Our release of z/OS 1.9 came with the newest release of PSF
integrated.
This is missing the APKACIF module. Now we either buy Enhanced ACIF
which
essentially doubles our monthly bill for this product set or we revert
to
our previous release of PSF (3.4 I believe). IBM won't assure
compatibility
of PSF 3.4 with z/OS 1.9.
In discussing this with our vendor, the possibility of dropping PSF
and
picking up Enhanced ACIF alone was brought up. In our previous
discussions,
I remember Enhanced ACIF as only being available as an extension of PSF.
In
other words, not available by itself.
Does anyone else license this product like this ??? I don't want to
commit
to a strategy that isn't possible nor reasonable.
Thanks,
Dave K.
