As far as I can remember, only the LPR/LPD functions were cost-free. The other RSCS functions (ie, any NJE function, IP SNA or CTC) required a license. The General Info manuals would probably have that information, or you could look at the announcement letters on IBMlink. On 6/23/10 4:33 PM, "P

I worked for a shop "back in the day" that ran a product from Unicorn, that was essentially a CICS emulator for VM. They had a few apps that they had ported over from real CICS. As I recall, the thing was a real pain to get working. It also had a VSAM replacement. On Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 6:43 PM,

There was a CICS/VM in 1987. You can google "cics/vm" and learn a little bit more. http://www-01.ibm.com/software/htp/cics/35/80s/ IBM killed it before it could gain acceptance. Rumor was that it ran better than it did on MVS :) From: The IBM z/VM Operating Sy

I would ask him to explain 'with z/OS being present' - and then ask him to explain 'native' ;-) Maybe those words don't mean what he thinks they do or what you think they do? The 'presence' of z/OS seems especially ambiguous in his statement.. what the heck does that mean? Lurking nearby?

Maybe he saw the size of a machine where CICS was running under VSE and thought, because of the size difference when compared to what z/OS needs, it was CICS that had been IPLed. :-) There are some CICS SVCs. It might be necessary to IPL z/OS when they are changed. Maybe he was confusing an IPL

Rick, We checked into NPIV support within Redhat. Apparently releases prior to R5 did not support NPIV as shipped, but according to Redhat NPIV is supported in R5. We are at R5.4. We are checking to see if there might be some Redhat configuration that must be performed to support NPIV.
