Abstract
This article describes the flexibility in licensing provided for IBM z/OS Connect in terms of its ability to be deployed and run on a wide range of target systems.
Content
Where entitlement is provided by a z/OS Connect Unlimited 3.0 license, z/OS connect servers may be deployed on any of the supported environments. In this case, the entitlement is referenced to the MSU footprint of the z/OS systems where the back-end subsystems ( i.e. IBM CICS, IBM IMS, IBM Db/2) are resident, and to which the z/OS Connect servers are providing access, irrespective of where the z/OS connect servers are deployed.
Where entitlement for z/OS Connect capability is provided as part of an IBM Z and Cloud Modernization Stack license purchase, z/OS Connect may be deployed in any of the supported environments. The license, under a VPC metric, supports flexible deployment of all the included components, including z/OS Connect. In this case, the VPC entitlement is mapped using ratio table-to-bundles of 10 Million API calls made through the z/OS Connect server.
Where entitlement is provided through a z/OS Connect Instance-based 3.0 license, only the native server capability is provided. z/OS Connect servers may be deployed only on the z/OS System for which entitlement has been purchased.
