Since the majority of the processing resource involved in DB/2 on z/OS is the data storage and management, moving that part to the IFL and keeping the z/OS API the same often allows you to reduce the overall size of the z/OS partition, which has corresponding savings for z/OS, and additional utilities (the effective model number of the machine goes down, which makes the software and other products you mentioned LOTS cheaper). That also allows fewer (in some cases, no) modifications to the COBOL and CICS apps and you keep all your current tools in place at the same levels; your DBAs will pay for it in learning a lot -- probably more than they ever wanted to -- about DRDA. You will probably also need similar tools on the Linux side, but there, you're starting fresh. -- db ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
