John, I believe that the zAAP, zIIP, and IFL "list" at between 100K-125K (US pricing only), for the z9 machines. However, we all know what the "list" price means. As for a general CP, I can't recall seeing a price for it, but recall that adding a CP could increase your software licensing fees as well, so that would be a much harder number to quantify.

Just as a curiousity, was is the cost to acquire a zAAP, zIIP, IFL, CFL, and a general CP? I mean the hardware cost, exclusive of any software costs. One person said, off line, that a zAAP cost them around US $50K. I guess "it depends", but I am curious about any "ball park" figures. I'm still trying, off and on, to convince management that a zAAP and some Java applications (CICS and maybe even batch) might be cost effective. Unfortunately, it appears that management only understands ancient Egyptian for all the good I am accomplishing. I've also mentioned a zIIP if Oracle uses it (don't know) or if we every wake up and use DB2 instead of Oracle. Oracle on z/OS is a good "lip service" product around here, but we are not doing much of anything. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
