I would also point your eager learner to the following IBM Redbook Introduction to the New Mainframe: z/OS Basics http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg246366.html?Open
It is a good introduction into the z/OS Environment. Also the ABC's Redbooks are good for details on specific areas. Lizette > >While ASID 1 (*MASTER*) clearly starts before JES, and not under the JES >subsystem, in order for an address space to own JES related resources >(such as SYSIN/SYSOUT datasets) it requires a JOBID in order for JES to >identify the address space. To allow this, there is an subsystem call >"REQUEST JOBID" function code 20 which address spaces running under the >master scheduler subsystem can use to request that JES build control >linkages between the JES subsystem and their address space. There is >also a corresponding "RETURN JOBID" request, function code 21, that >should be used if either 1 - the address terminates, or 2 - when JES is >stopped. This is documented in the "MVS Using the Subsystem Interface" >manual (SA22-7642-05 at the z/OS 1.8 level). >> >Hello listers >Can one of you tell me in which book i can find an explanation of the >syslog >STCnumber creation . >ASID 1 ( Master ) has an stc number in front of its entry ( DA ostc >shows it ) >and it is obviously related to SYSLOG ( i guess) . >( I hired a bright 25 years old programmer who agreed to join us to >become a >mainframe sysprog ) >During my daily one hour session with him explaining how Z/OS works , i >got >this question : >"but then why is there an stcnumber on master ?" >Yes ! > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
