AFAIK, RTC for System z add the possibility to be installed in z/OS but
such solution is not mandatory. It can still being installed on
distributed platforms.

Of course, there are specific pieces that if you are interested in them
(but just if you need them), you will have to install on z/OS like the
z/OS Build Engine, the SCM Gateway, etc... but the RTC Server for System
z as is, can be installed and used in distributed platform.

Check the docs:

Hope this helps,

Hi
Everything Chemi has stated is true. RTCz is a superset of RTC so anything you can do with RTC you can be done with RTCz and any platform both client and server that RTC supports, RTCz also supports and of course any client server configuration that RTC supports RTCz also supports.
Platform wise what RTCz adds is the ability to install the server on a System z or zLinux and also the ability to use DB2 on System z as the backing database.
So the short answer is, yes, you could run the server on a distributed platform and use a distributed DB2 flavor if you wanted to and still get the System z functionality that has been added.
