We run ICSF here and have 4 Express2 coprocessors. (They come in pairs on our z9.) I'm pretty sure they are under-utilized. Our apps. only use 2 functions - encrypt and decrypt. We use ssl for TN3270. We don't use https but I remember reading the doc. IIRC, the hardware features are to improve throughput. They are rated in terms of "handshakes per second". So as your usage of ssl increases, your HPS will too. You may reach a level where https session requests time out. ( But don't ask me what level.) I think cics has other TCBs to handle these handshakes. There is also administration required to implement ssl. I.E., certificates, asym keys, keyrings, etc.... TN3270 SSL is only used by a few here. Implementing HTTPS in cics would seem to have a profound impact on our coprocessors, or in your case - your cpu. -Jim ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
