Thanks Lucas, I did find this link and also a post from the archives of someone running DB2 V8 with z/OS 2.2 this past weekend. While the link is very useful I was actually curious if others were running similar. From: Lucas Rosalen To:

z/OSMF assumes access to zIIP. Otherwise, the Java CPU load on general CP's impacts the SCRT reports, or runs up on the cap. I have not zIIP on my z9 and we did not include access to them in the MFaaS contract we are mobbing to. > -Original Message- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion

IPCS needs to be run with a MIGLIB from z/OS 1.4. IBM seems to be reluctant to just provide these, so if you haven't saved one, you need to have the customer run systrace and send you the output. In article <00c401d2f96e$84910120$8db30360$@gmail.com> you wrote: > A customer has installed one of

A customer has installed one of our products and gets an immediate 0C1 when it is started. The customer is running z/OS 1.4 on a z850 so when I received the dump I confidently expected the PSW to be pointing at an unsupported instruction; what I saw was 0A0D with R1=040C1000 in module CEEBTERM.
