Yes, then I think my answer makes sense. Only the part of the transaction that actually runs ON z/OS is ZIIP eligible. The rest is up to the transport, network and client processor, which would mean that a Solaris DB2 Connect client and a Linux DB2 Connect client are identical for this purpose. The parts that do not actually run on z/OS get no assistance from the ZIIP. If there is a DB/2 server on the Solaris system that is doing DRDA as part of a more complex query (rather than just a DB2 Connect client), the Linux server instance would need to provide resources for a Linux DB2 server sufficient to handle the workload of a similar Solaris-based DB/2 server. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
