Summary
When considering the migration to z Enterprise Data Compression (zEDC), the following information can help you determine what is needed to get started as well as determine the best way to utilize zEDC in your environment.
Steps
zEDC requires the following:
- z/OS V2R1 (or later) operating system.
- One of the following:
- IBM® z15™, or later, with the Integrated Accelerator for zEDC
- IBM zEnterprise EC12 CPC (with GA2 level microcode) or zBC12 CPC, or later, with the zEDC Express feature.
- zEDC software feature enabled in an IFAPRDxx parmlib member.
- Adequate 64-bit real storage configured to this z/OS image.
The following IBM z/OS MVS documentation covers the requirements and planning for zEDC:
For an interactive starting point, and access to a variety of technical resources about Integrated Accelerator for zEDC, see the following resources:
