Ignore him Bob - IPCS is the ducks nuts.
Don't get me wrong its "OK" but give me AMDRDMP anyday.
I know there are things you can do in IPCS that its difficult the old way
There are cases for printing (like when IBM asks for them) I am not
advocating printing a SALONE dump at all.
Generally I have 1-2 times a year when IBM wants to print off
something from a dump and fax it to them. I know you can FTP (and I
have done so) dumps to IBM. But the hassle alone is worth the
avoidance, IMO. I had better uses of my time than sending a dump via
FTP to IBM. If they would make it reasonably painless. I end up
spending hours meanwhile I have people stopping by the desk and asking
what the status of this or that is. Even if I can dedicate a slot of
time it is aggravation that drives me up the wall. ALmost never does a
transfer go smoothly (at least IME). IBM should provide, IMO, a error
free (or almost) way of transmitting dumps.
You _prefer_ AMDPRDMP to IPCS??? I simply don't believe you. You're
yanking Bob's chain and he doesn't deserve it. Sending an SVC dump via
ftp is a hassle? Compared to what? Copying the dump to tape and sending
via snail-mail? Printing out a few (what you believe to be) relevant
pages and faxing them to somebody?
I think you're just a troublemaker.
