Implement Orient Database on Mainframe

Currently, IBM AD has the option of implementing the metadata data on z/OS (instead of on a Windows Server platform) in DB2 (instead of SQL Server). This allows the User to keep the various z/OS artifacts on the Mainframe. However, the "Orient Database" for the Graphic component of IBM AD is still on a Windows Platform. Since Orient is an open source database which can be run (according to its description) under ANY JVM, there should be little or no issue of implementing this on the mainframe either under Linux on System z *or* directly on z/OS. This will allow the User to have all the "server components" co-located on the Mainframe. In addition, it is likely that the Orient Database could be implemented in a zAAP.

    This RFE was already addressed in AD 5.1 by offering support for zLinux for all AD servers.
