I spent 10 years in the z/OS ISV space negotiating with IBM Partnerworld etc.
Difficult to see financial value in the experience and more difficult to

z/OS assembler code will have to be rewritten.
Linux/z is usually ASCII, not EBCDIC. Think about all those CLC's.
If you start by rewriting the assembler code in C and go through the SQL to
find all the cases where LUW and DB2/Z disagree, your only remaining problem is
whither the JCL.

Hi everyone.
We think we saw a difference in behaviour between these two versions.
It appeared to us that we had to specify both CPU values on one card to get the
desired effect.
If pressed however I will deny it.

We have a z10 running VM 5.4 in LPAR #1.
The box has 2 half speed CP's, 2 IFL's, and 2 ZAAP's.
We want to modify a specific zLinux guest, call it zLinux1, to only run on the
IFL's.
So far, we can get it to see all 6 engines which is not good.

What are they using as the conversion media? An Export or a backup?
RMAN can be very interesting, their caution is well advised.
