Sorry to open this ZIIP box again but, here goes. BMC claims significant savings (software cost and MIPS savings) by using CMF instead of RMF and migrating the work load to a ZIIP. Has anyone made this move and what results have you found? Thanks for sharing. Matt

But I'm also surprised some-one like Neon did it; their legal eagles must have had a fun time combing through all the IBM covenants. It's not like IBM is totally averse to resorting to the courts. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
