">>Gotcha beat! October 1984 -- first production implementation at our site.
DOH! (8(|)) Typo due to fat fingers on a BlackBerry. ... 1994." Are you sure it wasn't 1995 - the shop I worked at back then was "one of the first" (but not necessarily the 1st) parallel sysplexes in production and we did that in November of 1995. We had DB2 data sharing in production the week after it went GA - was very bleeding edge but we did have a lot of help from IBM. But if you were with one of the ESP sites, I guess it could have been 1994. We were an ESP site for DB2 data sharing but not for parallel sysplex. We implemented both at the same time and learned a lot real fast :D Sad thing is that after years of being active in the Parallel Sysplex Leadership Council, that shop doesn't even have a mainframe anymore. :( Rebecca ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
