We just had our first opportunity to disconnect the timer and run without it since upgrading to z/OS 1.7. It was a non-event. No stoppage at all. Just a nasty message on the console about losing ETR ports and losing the ETR, but everything kept running. No prompt to answer or anything. And it recovered automatically when we reattached the timer as well. When we were on OS/390 2.10 (and z/OS 1.4 if I recall correctly), it would lock up every LPAR and make you answer a console prompt before proceeding. Lots of interactive things used to time out. This is much nicer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
