I worked at an alpha site of MDF. It was about three years before PR/SM. The problem(s) back then were simple. MDF did not talk to RMF, until RMF could handle PR/SM reporting. MDF was originally implemented with wait-complete=YES. Once those were cleaned up, and HLPF came along, all three competed well. I once wrote an article about PR/SM: April 2005: "LPAR and PR/SM" http://tinyurl.com/caf3x - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
