Wow, that's hard to believe--it seems like it was just yesterday! The perils of aging, I guess...
But is it really "Hapy Birthday" if it's been subsumed? A theological question. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Timothy Sipples Sent: Sunday, September 1, 2024 10:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Happy 20th Birthday to zAAP As previously reported back in 2004, the first customer production use of zAAP (the System z Application Assist Processor) went live on September 1, 2004. Which was impressively speedy because it occurred more than 3 weeks before the earliest release of z/OS to support zAAP (z/OS Version 1.6) became Generally Available - and barely 2 months after zAAP (the hardware feature) was introduced. IBM discontinued zAAPs several years ago because their functions were fully incorporated into zIIPs. Happy 20th Birthday, zAAP! ----- Timothy Sipples Senior Architect Digital Assets, Industry Solutions, and Cybersecurity IBM Z/LinuxONE, Asia-Pacific [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
