And things like data encryption (PGP, etc.) and data compression (GZIP,
BZIP, etc.) make good candidates as well, (and you can avoid the license
charges for PKZIUP on z/OS. :-)
You might also want to check out the new Co:Z Co-processing Toolkit as
well. It allows a z/OS batch job to remotely
launch a process on a distributed system, redirecting input and output
from the remote process to traditional z/OS datasets or spool files.

SAP is becoming more common in the US, already very common in Europe.
Domino is common. (I like the installation that converted 24 z/OS CP's
to 21 IFLs.) Saved
a trainload of money, but i don't think the ibm account team was happy)
ADSM (for some reason the current name doesn't come to me easily) has
some large
installations in California
Any simple html based web application

z/OS to Linux on zSeries. The idea is to take advantage of the lower
prices
IBM charges for IFL engines as opposed to standard engines.
Has anyone done this? If so, what workloads and/or products are good
candidates for such a move?
Thanks!
