ZIIP = NONE | EXTCOMP | SSLTLS | ALL | PROJECT

This parameter enables you to specify the setting for the zIIP Exploitation Feature. For more information, see zIIP Exploitation Feature.

Subparameter Description
NONE The default. No CPU time is offloaded to a zIIP and IBM® Connect:Direct® continues to operate as it has for all versions.
EXTCOMP Schedules SRBs to offload COPY step extended (ZLIB) compression and decompression CPU time to a zIIP.
SSLTLS Schedule SRBs to offload COPY step SSL and TLS data encryption and decryption (not the handshake) CPU time to a zIIP.
ALL Schedules SRBs to offload COPY step SSL and TLS data encryption and decryption (not the handshake) and extended (ZLIB) compression and decompression CPU time to a zIIP.
PROJECT Same as ALL, except the SRBs are always dispatched to a general purpose (CP) processor, not a zIIP processor. This allows you to project C:D zIIP usage (rather than use the zIIP) when you have a zIIP processor online. If no zIIP processor is online, there is no difference between PROJECT and ALL.
Note: The PROJECT setting requires that you set the IEAOPTxx parameter, PROJECTCPU to YES. For more information, see IEAOPTxx (OPT parameters) in MVS Initialization and Tuning Reference (SA22-7592-21 or http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/v1r12/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.zos.r12.ieae200/ieaopt.htm)

Modifiable through MODIFY INITPARMS command: NO
