MXG Support for TPF:
Change 17.200 Support for IBM's TPF Operating System.
EXTPFxx Forty datasets are created from the fifty or so records.
FORMATS Some datasets are written at monitor initialization to
IMACTPF map things, but the interval records are deaccumulated
TPFINTRV and written as individual PDB datasets, and then TPFINTRV
TYPETPF is invoked to summarize into PDB.TPFINTRV. This support
VMACTPF has been tested with data from one system, and TPFINTRV
VMXGINIT intervals the SA/NX/SX/SU/SP/MD/MG/FV/FS/SC records.
VMXGTPFI This is preliminary support, but TPFINTRV and its input
Aug 2, 1999 datasets have been tested extensively; there are still a
number of questions and some variable names may change.
For over two years I have requested the DSECTS for the
TPF records; it took a vote of the TPF Users Group to
"convince" IBM it would be worthwhile to allow MXG to
support this high-speed transaction processing system.
Formerly know at the Airline Control Program, it can
drive 30,000 I/Os per second on an 8-engines CPC!
The initial development of the VMACTPF code took 40 hours
across four days to write about 4,000 lines of SAS code.
Another 40 hours were required to add the roughly 400
lines to deaccumulate and validate the PDB.TPFINTRV data.
