Been running it for 4 years now, no problems. Just be aware that RLS is the stripped down version of TVS. RLS provides no transaction logging, so if you are using RLS outside of say CICS, then you have to do roll-your-own logging. TVS provides logging, amongst other features. You are parallel sysplex, right?
There is a PSP bucket for RLS, so make sure you are current on maintenance. z/OS 1.10 provided Multiple Lock Structure(MLS) support for RLS, and the toleration maint for that was flakey for awhile, but is fine now. _________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Assistant Vice President, Mainframe Services [email protected] 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 MD RSCB1G p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.8497 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Darth Keller Sent: Thursday, December 03, 2009 10:19 AM To: [email protected] Subject: VSMA RLS We are currently at zOS1.9 and are looking at implementing VSAM RLS.
