Have you looked at Liberty Profile yet? Your customers with CICS TS 5+ for z/OS or WAS 8.5+ for z/OS licensing already have Liberty Profile licensing, and some of them probably already use Liberty. If you think one or more of your target customers won't have any of those products then just ask IBM about OEM licensing if you haven't already. (It can't hurt to ask, at least.) There's also a blanket Liberty runtime license (<=2GB heap) that might be appropriate to your needs, but (again) ask IBM.
Liberty Profile is obviously going to have the greatest z/OS affinities (features, supportability, performance, security, etc.) So if it's there, or easily obtainable, why not? I'd avoid needless complexity if you can. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM z Systems, AP/GCG/MEA E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
