Enable zIIP Usage for Node.js

IBM is porting more and more new workload to the z/OS Plattform. Some of them (e.g. Db2ZAI, Zowe) requires the use of Node.js.


Currently, Node.js is not eligable to run on zIIP. With this, the MSUs would account to the normal software costs (TFP, R4HA). This would block customers to port these new kind of workload to the z/OS Plattform.


So, please make Node.js zIIP eligable to enable the customer to port these new kind of applications to z/OS, without influence to the MSU licensing.

    One example...:
    You try to port modern stuff to z/OS. There are products like Db2zAI, WMLz and so on. These tools (at least the 2 named) required Node.js. Db2zAI for example requires more CPU than it would save actually (at our shop, regarding the recommendations). So there would be no benefit of these tools. As you try to port modern stuff, you should evaluate them and make them cost neutral, as the costs are (unfortunately) the main point of the management to don't allow to port technologies to the mainframe.

    Chris and all, could you provide your Node.js use cases so we can evaluate potential workload offload to zIIP?

    this is a major concern for our shop.  please make node.js ziip eligible as it is a serious blocker
