Hello list, The subject line summarizes my question. We're running a z14 (so the SORTL stuff doesn't apply according to the doc I've read) and z/OS 2.4. Does DFSort support offloading to a zIIP processor for non Db2 sorting? I know I could purchase db2sort which is Syncsort under the covers for db2 sorts but I'm wondering about regular batch EXEC PGM=SORT usage of DFSort. I found a hit from about 8 years ago where at that point they didn't exploit a zIIP but was wondering if anything has changed.
On a second subject, if we ever migrate beyond the z14, is the SORTL stuff available on the z15 and above (presumably) using zIIP or is it merely doing other acceleration on the general purpose engines?
