The z/OS AI Framework requires EzNoSQL, EzNoSQL requires VSAM Record-Level Sharing (RLS), and VSAM RLS requires a Coupling Facility (internal or external) running on either a CF or general purpose engine. Certain software components included in the z/OS AI Framework might not require EzNoSQL and can be useful on their own, but for the AI-driven WLM batch initiators feature I can’t see how you’d avoid the EzNoSQL requirement at least currently. ————— Timothy Sipples Senior Architect Digital Assets, Industry Solutions, and Cybersecurity IBM zSystems/LinuxONE, Asia-Pacific sipp...@sg.ibm.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
