Don't forget that zPrime will make work dispatchable on a zIIP OR zAAP. I rather doubt that they are turning your application into an enclave SRB or JAVA. One thing from the presentation was that SAS work was not compatible. They threw out some numbers that 44% of CICS work and 84% of batch work could be moved. Whether that means that 84% of batch jobs/steps or 84% of the work in one job/step is unclear. They claim that there is no way of predicting what will work and what won't.
I bet that they could tell you what can and can't be moved but that would give too much insight into their proprietary system. -----Original Message----- Lizette Koehler I have a concern about the zPRIME product. If the zXXP engines are for SRB (pre-emptible) work, then my understanding is that the SRB cannot have any SVCs save for OPEN. So I am wondering how the process could work when normal TCB work would have SVCs it executes. Is there a way to determine that this UOW has no SVC so therefore I can make it look like an SRB and have it move the zXXP engine? Or can I blindly move a UOW to the zXXP engine and if it has an SVC - fail, and then the system would dispatch back to the CP? Am I missing something here?
