Title: ICN Architecture
Post by: paulogg on January 27, 2023, 09:56:59 AM

Good afternoon!

Gentlemen, is it possible to have ICN installed on zOS (strictly for accessing CMOD repositories)?
Any hint/tip on this subject will be much appreciated...

Thanks in advance,

Paulo Guimaraes

Per the ICN documentation, Linux for System z is supported.

Aha!

Terminolgy, terminolgy, terminology:

z/OS is the z/OS operating system.

z/Linux is Linux, the flavor of the operating system that runs on z/Architecture

z/Architecture is the architecture of the physical box.  You can run several operating systems on it just like you can run different operating systems on your Intel box.  You can run z/OS, z/Linux, z/VM, whatever TPF is called nowadays, and I've never fooled with it but I believe z/VSE can also run native on z/Architecture.
