Issue/Introduction

Is there a method to remove the Optimizer/II runtime from the LPAR?

Environment

Release: OPTIM200200-8.5-Optimizer/II

Resolution

If you execute any programs that have been Optimized you must have the Optimizer runtime started on the LPAR. If the runtime is not active the program will abend when it is executed.

To remove Optimizer, the client would have to recompile all their programs without Optimizer using the standard IBM compiler.

In the Users Guide they have a report called the MRS report that you execute pointing to a load library. This report will identify which programs are Optimized and need to be recompiled.

A RUNTIME-only license is available to reduce cost. The runtime-only license will provide support for Optimized programs. But this license will not allow programs to be Optimized.
