Re: iASP and standard applications

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Brad:

Your API calls will work in an iASP the same as in *SYSBAS (or ASP 1).  
If you have software that is iASP compliant, then it will work with 
PowerHA and other High Availability products that work at the storage 
level instead of the application layer like Mimix and others do.  An 
attribute that is highly desirable in my view.
