Classification: Confidential This value is from the application point of view. For example. If a particular image is to be IPL'ed, other images in the sysplex take over the work. With appropriate configuration of the major subsystems this is seamless to the end-user.
i.e. the end-user in tim-buk-tu perceives nothing that has occurred. HTH, -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Bob Bridges Sent: Tuesday, May 23, 2023 4:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: 8 9s, really? [CAUTION: This Email is from outside the Organization. Unless you trust the sender, Don't click links or open attachments as it may be a Phishing email, which can steal your Information and compromise your Computer.] I'm just getting around to reading the article someone cited here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/results-mainframe-application-modernization-migration-ross-mauri/ I heard that "8 9s" claim go by before, but I didn't pay much attention. But in the article it says that equates to 0.3 sec of downtime per year, and I pause. Does "down time" not include IPL, then? When you IPL, doesn't that count as "down"? Because if it doesn't, I don't see what use that measure is. Or does no one IPL any more? --- Bob Bridges, [email protected], cell 336 382-7313 /* Even the most marginal NBA player is an absurdly better athlete than an ordinary person. When basketball people say that Grant Long can't shoot, can't pass, can't dribble, what they mean is: He can shoot, pass and dribble better than you, better than anybody you know, better than all but a few hundred people in the world. -from _Why the NBA Isn't As Offensive As You Think_ by Dave Barry */ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ::DISCLAIMER:: ________________________________ The contents of this e-mail and any attachment(s) are confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
