RESERVEs are not an issue regardless of the PROCESS= setting. You can always find the ones your not processing with a DISPLAY COUNTS command. Cheers, Mark <ark,
In previous years, (SDSI and MIM) put out the enq counts when the product ended.
For some reason (I never did an explanation as to why they stopped doing so) they stopped giving out a 1 page total of counts.
This was sorely missed as I always looked at the report to find any new enq's that were being issued so I could call the vendor and see if they could be included in (SDSI/MIM) .
The only thing that I could get out of them is to have an operator issue the command to get the report. Most operators have hard enough time IPLing let alone shutting the system down. So how can you expect operators to issue *ANOTHER COMMAND*? I got nowhere with the CA-MIM people .
Having a document on how to shutdown the system was useless as the operators (and their bosses) thought it was too much work to do. Having Automated Ops do it wasn't an option as they were too cheap to spend the $$ for it. One shop couldn't IPL (sysprogs were called in to do so). Even with typed instructions it was hopeless. There were vendors out there that issued enq's and unless you saw the report you had no way of getting the info as the installation doc (usually) never mentioned that they did.
I caught one vendor who denied they issued the ENQ and I showed them in a trace that they were the issuer.
I would have been happy if CA/MIM would have an option in the parms to create the report. Seems simple correct? Not with CA-MIM.
FWIW SDSI was written by Duquesne Systems in Pittsburg for a company that I was working at. Glen Chatfield(sp?) was the main coder .
