Nothing has changed. DFSORT still only exploits zIIP when invoked by Db2
Utilities. On z15, when using zSORT, it does not use zIIP but instead exploits
the accelerator.
PS - sorry if this is a dupe. I replied earlier but didn't see it appear in
the list.

Nothing has changed regarding DFSORT's zIIP exploitation. It only exploits
zIIP when called by Db2 Utilities. And the new zSORT capability on z15 does
not exploit zIIP but instead leverages the accelerator.

Rex, on a z15 there is an "Integrated Accelerator for Z Sort" which has nothing
to do with zIIP

Hello list,
The subject line summarizes my question. We're running a z14 (so the SORTL
stuff doesn't apply according to the doc I've read) and z/OS 2.4. Does DFSort
support offloading to a zIIP processor for non Db2 sorting? I know I could
purchase db2sort which is Syncsort under the covers
