Oracle de-supported z/OS for future releases of the database in 2008. Customers
running Oracle on the z are running Oracle on z/Linux with z/VM, so you will
still have a dilemma.
Oracle Database on z/OS Support Status (Doc ID 461234.1)
If you go down the z/Linux route there are of course are a variety of documents
in support.oracle.com and the standard IBM Redbooks.

Subject: Oracle 12C on Z/OS
Well my Evil plan started with getting this customer off of running Oracle on
windows servers. In this plan; I got buy in on Exadata to do the consolidation.
There was a wrinkle in my plan, this shop has no experience in Linux or Solaris
so the Windows admins started complaining, bla bla bla. In the end it appears
the deputy CIO has shot down my plan. I’m not one to wine; so if the issue is
“what do we have experience with” is a major driver then this shop is also in
possession of a Z10 a top notch support staff and the associated infrastructure.
Now I have to go to my Evil backup plan, migrate their databases to 12C PDB’s
on the Z10. My director (25 years mainframe system programmer), and two Oracle
DBA’s (with over 35 years mainframe experience each) all love this ides. My
director is going to get some system stats on the Z10 to see if there is enough
there to host our Oracle Databases. However before I drive this train too far
down the track I need a bit of advice.
1) Does Oracle 12C and DB2 coexists nicely on Z/OS?
2) Can you point me to any high level papers on 12C on Z/OS?
3) Are there any technical issues out there that we should consider beyond
available system resources?
