Well, some general considerations I know of are: 1. J2EE apps are usually ok. Unless they exploit something in Sun Java that is different in IBM Java. We've not had issues, but some college I know has not been that lucky. If they've written the java program themselves, changes may not be that difficult. If it's a large package from some open source thing or something, it may be more challenging. We've had vendors bring their J2EE banking packages to z with no issues.
2. The platform isn't binary compatible with Intel. You will have to recompile. Hopefully they have source. If so, no big deal. 3. There are endian (little big) considerations. You can go google that for more info. Hope that is semi useful.
