As previously reported back in 2004, the first customer production use of zAAP (the System z Application Assist Processor) went live on September 1, 2004. Which was impressively speedy because it occurred more than 3 weeks before the earliest release of z/OS to support zAAP (z/OS Version 1.6) became Generally Available — and barely 2 months after zAAP (the hardware feature) was introduced. IBM discontinued zAAPs several years ago because their functions were fully incorporated into zIIPs.
