We're not at 1.9 yet, and I have no clue what that thing is, but "CIM" is the keyword. At the last European zConf there was a lot of talk about the 'new face' of MVS, and both system Rexx and CIM and all that new infrastructure is part of the 'new face'. We had a very good laugh (as an audience) when told how 'easy' MVS management will be once the 'new face' is completely in place, and how the zNextGen will have it easy to then work on MVS.
If you detect some sarcasm on my part, it's completely unintentional!!! :-) What I have seen so far of the 'new face' is not only very complex, without a very good knowledge how it is implemented underneath, there is no chance to analyze bugs in the infrastructure. (It won't even be easy to analyze if it is a bug or an error in setup) And given my stated opinion of software support I am NOT holding my breath that the zNextGen has any clue. I am foreseeing a lot of long and ugly ETRs, and Deans experience confirms that. ETRs for everything related to USS go like this: "Please reproduce the problem with traces 1 to 15 in place, and give us all the traces and all the logs". Never mind that with all the traces in place the (timing dependent) problem does not appear or it is not reproducible at will, anyway. CEA and CIM and all those 'new face' things will go the same way, I think. Regards, Barbara Nitz -- GMX startet ShortView.de. Hier findest Du Leute mit Deinen Interessen!
