zAAP's are indeed used by Java code running on a TCB. However, to my knowledge, it does not follow that: "With zAAP on zIIP, they must be using SRB's." IBM determines the rules in this regard. To me (as both an ISV and System z developer), IBM allowing more code to run on specialty engines i

rt of our zIIP-enablement R&D we compared the cost of: (a) frequently starting Enclave SRBs, and (b) using a "persistent" Enclave SRB in conjunction with MVS Suspend/Resume services. We actually ended up using both techniques in our product (although in different situations). Russ
