We just went through this ourselves. You will need to open an SR with Novell and ask them to get you licensed for HAE. It took about a month between the time we opened the SR and when we could download the updates. (They actually asked us to show them why we though we were entitled...we

We went through that too last fall and again later when our customer number was changed. You have to get your account team to update your allowed products. They apparently don't give you s390x HAE by default. Make sure you ask for s390x too. Once that is done, SMT automatically sees it. Marcy

Many ISV's only add z support based on customer demand. - Some do not care if customer interest exist and have no interest in supporting z. - Some code might not recompile cleanly making the choice without investment easy. - Most however are more then willing to work with our ISV enablement

I don't doubt that since z is a different architecture (in their minds). There will be some differences between the Linux's but again, it mostly architecture based. Someone can probably go into the finer details of the differences. -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port

There are hardware architecture differences (e.g., the way numbers are stored, etc.) between Intel and System z. Of course, applications can be written to handle these differences, but they would need to tested in both types of environments. Since they probably don't have free access to System z,
