I never asked how they do those things, just when a few years ago I learned that all tapes were gone I thought, oh, cool.
But, thinking about it, I have never seen, for example, a z/OS level more than two below the latest one. My latest customer went to 1.13 a month ago. It is just, I guess, a Finnish thing. :-) Lindy -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of McKown, John Sent: Monday, November 19, 2012 10:03 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: "New" way to do UCB lookups I assume the companies without tapes do off-site replication of their disk arrays for disaster recovery and on-line (error) recovery? We would like to do that. But 3952 tape and storage fees cost less than the duplicated disk array plus telecommunications fees would. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
