We are preparing to move our TSM server off z/OS. We would not be doing this if we just needed to pay for more standard engine processors to keep TSM where it is. Most of the non-IBM software products we have running under z/OS have license charges based on the total processor capacity that is used or could be used to run z/OS. The license upgrades triggered by adding standard engines would cost us more than the engines. This is what is driving the TSM server migration. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
