It is MQ. You may have been confused as we already take MQ series messages from end users. So, when the Linux translation code sends a message into the normal communications software, it looks just like another end-user. Therefore, no code changes to the existing baseline software. Kevin

Well, comfort level with Linux was not that high when we decided on our method on NCIC (and we still haven't settled yet on SUSE or RHEL). We are using RHEL currently for our POC (which is due for test in January 2007). NCIC itself has been mainframe since back in the 60s (I believe) and under

The decision was made (in our case) due to our application needs and the use of open source libXML. libXML (which suited our needs best and was in use already by other systems here) and a bunch of configuration files coupled with relatively small amount of code enables us to translate XML back to

Without wishing to stir up a firestorm here, we are working on a proof of concept project here with RHEL on z series hardware. I have noticed that most of the questions here seem to be about SLES...so I was wondering why? Is this because: RHEL is more stable (therefore less questions)? SLES
