Any Experience With XTIOTs?

z/OS 1.12 provided a new parameter in parmlib member DEVSUPxx - NON_VSAM_XTIOT=YES/NO (where NO is the default). At that time, I wrote the following in my newsletter: z/OS 1.12 - DEVSUPxx: Added NON_VSAM_XTIOT=YES/NO, where the default of NO leaves processing as it is currently. Specifying

z/OS Release Schedule Changes

Re: Any 3270 emulators for Mac Lion?

Problem solved. Thanks to all of you. Once I learned that Brown's tn3270 (which I had used successfully before) worked with somebody's Lion system, I tried it again. What I discovered was that I was making two changes at one time - Lion PLUS and trying to logon to our z/VM system instead of

BatchPipes/MVS

Is anyone using this product? Is it worth the price (somewhere between $300- $2000/month)? Would you use it if it came as part of z/OS? I've searched the IBM-Main archives and found one question in each of the last four years, but I found that IBM documentation is missing in action. I'm

BDT and PDSEs

. The inability of BDT to transmit PDSE's will severely restrict our ability to exploit PDSEs since we transmit 100's of load modules between sites on a daily basis. Is this still true today, and if so, what do sites use to transfer PDSEs? Thanks so much, Cheryl == Cheryl Watson

Re: The Register article on HP replacing z

I usually point out to my customers that adding zIIPs and zAAPs provides a performance benefit for both of the reasons that Bill mentions below. The most significant for everyone is the second benefit (reducing the strain on the CPs). But you need to realize that the 'notable exception'
