Someone chose USS to prefix all the published Health Checks for z/OS Unix Systems Services. I presume that person or persons was from IBM.
I agree with your herding cats comment, but if something as high profile as the Health Checker uses this incorrect abbreviation, I assume IBM isn't really trying real hard - at least with this one. Greg Shirey Ben E. Keith Co. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of John Eells Sent: Tuesday, July 28, 2009 11:54 AM We did not chose "USS" as an acronym for z/OS UNIX System Services. It's not on the list of names people are supposed to use, and nobody in IBM should use this abbreviation to mean z/OS UNIX System Services. (Anyone from IBM who thinks differently should contact me so I can tell them why they're wrong.) In reality, herding cats is easier than making absolutely sure that everyone uses the correct full and short names all the time in all contexts, formal and informal, but we keep trying. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
