I think the better question is why does EzNoSQL require RLS? Probably makes it easier because they don't have to handle different sharing issues, but it seems possible that some might be interested in using the EzNoSQL API from a single task without sharing implications. Of course I don't know

I forgot about CBP processors - you can see it on many HMC panels, but they do not exist. :-) W dniu 20.11.2023 o 17:02, Radoslaw Skorupka pisze: I see other solution: special price for ICF engine used for AI. It can be just a price or yet another acronym for specialty processor - maybe IAI?

Just to add to the point about "or general purpose engine". A CF LPAR doing relatively little activity for a non-critical work can run just fine on a shared GP engine, assuming you have some available capacity. The CF LPARs don't generally consume much CPU, if they're not being driven by

Hi everyone, it seems from the manual linked to below that you must have a CF to run EzNoSQL in order to use the new AI Framework feature of z/OS 3.1, for example to have AI-powered WLM batch initiators which is the first use case given. Most of my customers would baulk at spending for ICFs,
