Hi, In a related topic "Death of the Mainframe" Steve Ware did a really nice presentation at SHARE in Seattle based on a simple premise "A CICS support person should be able to articulate the current capabilities of CICS and the mainframe, and make compelling arguments in favor of continuing to exploit and enhance the capabilities and features of CICS and the mainframe.".
This session though presented in the CICS project is a great read for anyone who needs to be a zSeries platform advocate. Steve presented a number of issues in a light hearted way and pointed out some good resources. http://tinyurl.com/zdqbw http://shareew.prod.web.sba.com/client_files/callpapers/attach/SHARE_in_ Seattle/S1057SW111717.pdf http://shareew.prod.web.sba.com/proceedingmod/abstract.cfm?abstract_id=1 2986&conference_id=13 Best Regards, Sam Knutson, GEICO Performance and Availability Management mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (office) 301.986.3574 "Think big, act bold, start simple, grow fast..." ][ ==================== This email/fax message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
