Not clear what you are asking. The only applicable restrictions for
z/os.e are:

1. No COBOL complies.
2. COBOL programs must run under the CEEPIPI interface (documented in
the LE manuals and the T&C for z/os.e).
3. TSO USERMAX of 8. 

Using z/os.e to manage data replication and as a 'floor' system sounds
like a perfect fit. 

Actually, we run all of our production under z/os.e except for TSO. We
don't do COBOL compiles at all (a vendor supplies all of our COBOL
code). Local programs are written in C. A combination of z/os.e and sub
capacity pricing is taking a *serious* bite out of our software bill.  

What 'sprit' are you concerned about?

Run z/os.e on a very small CPU with upgrade on demand at your BR site.
The backup steps don't need a lot of CPU power, and z/os.e is cheap.
Very cheap. Once you pull your DR trigger, upgrade the box and start
recovering your LPARS. The z/os.e LPAR can remain active to assist as a
'floor' system.

Interesting. I'm assuming that one could set up a z/OS.e system(s)
running XRC to take care of mirroring the secondary data.

Is this in the 'spirit' of z/OS.e?
