I assume it doesn't have the same number of subscribers / followers as IBM-MAIN. So what other conclusions have you drawn? You should have also have asked how many LPARs were being supported? How many homogeneous & heterogeneous environments were being supported (or how many sysplexes and monoplexes)? If "new" technologies were in use (WebSphere for example & how many cells). How many CICS regions were supported. How many DB2 and MQ subsystems. How many different databases were used (IMS, DB2, Datacom, ADABAS, etc.). -- Mark Zelden Sr. Software and Systems Architect - z/OS Team Lead Zurich North America / Farmers Insurance Group - ZFUS G-ITO mailto:mark.zel...@zurichna.com z/OS Systems Programming expert at http://expertanswercenter.techtarget.com/ Mark's MVS Utilities: http://home.flash.net/~mzelden/mvsutil.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
