I'll quote IBM: "IBM does not impose IBM software charges on zIIP (or zAAP) capacity."
Source (as others have recommended): http://www.ibm.com/systems/z/hardware/features/ziip/ z/OS RMF, for example, can tell you how much zIIP- and zAAP-eligible workload you have within currently running workloads as long as you have PROJECTCPU=YES set. z/OS RMF will not characterize workloads it cannot measure, particularly including workloads that do not yet run in the z/OS instance(s) you're monitoring. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM z Systems, AP/GCG/MEA E-Mail: sipp...@sg.ibm.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
