HI, I am in process to have more control of my product and more connection with my users. I start with code request form. At the beginning every user fill code request with information like email, MFNetDisk feature request, MF data and more.
I review the request and send email to the user with my code. I did not like the idea to send code by email! Now, after filling the code request form, I give immediately link to download the code. This process is much better without delay and less keep me busy with administration. Except this, I solve the problem with the tape emulation. The problem was when access the JFCB and TIOT for MFNetDisk tape emulation. The problem was access data which does not belong in the user address space. JFCB and TIOT in MFNetDisk is accessed in the MFNetDisk IO handler. Meaning that for every IO of the MF to my virtaul tape drive, I add data like JOBNAME, FILENAME and program name. The problem was that MVS send some IO in other address space then the job which use the tape. So after some effort I solved the problem. If you like to test my tape emulation, go to my site and fill code request form and after filling and sending the data you will have link to download my new code. Please let me know what do you think about the way I mange my code and the code request form.
