We are working with 2 clients and implementing DB/2 UDB on zLinux. As I
understand it, what DB/2 UDB on zLinux is the equivalent of DB/2 EE (called
Enterprise Server Edition?). It does not support partitions and has a 100
gig limit for 7.x and a 150 gig limit in 8.x. This will change at the
`beginning of next year' when both partitioning and larger data sizes will
be supported. I think this is what was called the triple E version. I'm
not clear on the names, but am on what IBM is saying is coming down the
pipe! I hope this helps!
Cheers,
Kevin

Please respond to
Linux on 390 Port
Dave & To All,
There is one draw back to this for now is that DB2 UDB on Linux/390 does
not
support partitioning. This was our stumbling block. In version 8 of DB2 UDB
it is still the same code set only difference would have to enable
licensing. At least this is my take on it. IBM also has not given a
concrete answer as of why this version does not support partitioning on
Linux/390. I am still looking for some technical answers. If anyone knows I
would appreciate a reply.
Thanks

Subject: Thoughts on DB2...
All,
On our traditional mainframe system, we are running a z/800-001 that is
maxed out on CPU. We are trying to figure out ways to relieve this
without buying another GP engine, and pay the big software costs.
What I'm wondering is would it be possible, and if so, how smart would
it be to try and move our DB2 workload to a Linux/390 server, and then
have all the "traditional" mainframe apps access it remotely? Is this
a path worth looking at?
The reason I ask, is that and IFL bundled with z/VM is pretty cheap, and
and I could utilize hipersockets.
Waddya all think?
Dave
