I can tell I did not make myself very clear here. I will try to explain what I'm looking for. Support for VAG on z/VM comes to an end. As a result all our business VM applications will be converted to eventually run on z/OS. I was asked to make a simulation of the costprize of the to-be situation after the conversion. Billing to the client is based on CPU-seconds. Batch takes about 80% of system resources in terms of cpu. Given the same DB/2 batch job ( consider DB/2 on MVS being the same ), same database volume, same z9 Server and so on, so take only z/VM and the z/OS cpu cycles into account, would there be a difference and if so, how big would that difference be ?
