The U.S. Postal Service migrated a good part of their CICS workload to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server on System z, running on an IFL. I'm not familiar with all the technical details of how it was done, but Mark Neft of Accenture has presented on the topic at SHARE multiple times. (He _was_ involved in the project.) I do know they were using Microfocus COBOL for the application code. Not sure how the CICS piece was replicated/replaced. http://www.share.org/p/do/sd/topic=302&sid=8747 Mark Post ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
