Description

Applies to z/OS only

On a z/OS system, Model 204 zIIP support enables you to offload Model 204 work from regular processors to zIIP processors.

AMPSUBZ specifies the number of active zIIP subtasks.

Note: MP subtasks and zIIP subtasks may be used together. Therefore, AMPSUBS, NMPSUBS, AMPSUBZ and NMPSUBZ may all be greater than zero. However, to avoid unnecessary overhead:

  • Do not set AMPSUBS greater than the number of central processors actually available.
  • Do not set AMPSUBZ greater than the number of zIIP processors actually available.

For more information about zIIP processing, refer to Offloading Model 204 work to zIIP processors.
