That explains "A158" and "3090" (and "C580") :-) True dat. :-)
In my new "How To Be A Better Performance Specialist (Than Martin Packer)" :-) presentation I reinforce the importance of having a view of an installation's history. I was talking last week to a customer's "NextGen z" people with the material and it was interesting because they are (like so many others) the result of 2 merged customers, each themselves the product of several previous merges. So THEIR history is particularly interesting and full of naming oddities. "We like naming conventions so much we've many of them" :-) is a familiar meme.

Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> I've known shops that let serial or model number creep into naming conventions. Like Mark, we control names across upgrades. Back in the Stone Age, IBM used to recommend embedding model number in SMF and JES names. And that required a cold start to change! Sort of nuts it seems to me. . . .

I have RACF profiles like the following and nothing needed to be changed when we rolled in 5 z13s late last year. HWI.CAPREC.IBM390PS.CF01.* (G) HWI.CAPREC.IBM390PS.CPCA.* (G) HWI.CAPREC.IBM390PS.CPCB.* (G) HWI.CAPREC.IBM390PS.CPCC.* (G) HWI.CAPREC.IBM390PS.CPCD.* (G) HWI.TARGET.IBM390PS.CF01.* (G) HWI.TARGET.IBM390PS.CPCA.* (G) HWI.TARGET.IBM390PS.CPCB.* (G) HWI.TARGET.IBM390PS.CPCC.* (G) HWI.TARGET.IBM390PS.CPCD.* (G) The RACF calls are based on the CPC name, not the definition in the HMC under the API settings. Since we kept the CPC names the change, nothing had to change in RACF. IBM copied over HMC settings as part of the migration (all 5 boxes, of which one is a stand alone CF, were all "net new" and the old ones returned to IBM). https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.1.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.ieac100/iea3c1_Authority_to_the_particular_resource.htm Best regards, Mark -- Mark Zelden - Zelden Consulting Services - z/OS, OS/390 and MVS ITIL v3 Foundation Certified mailto:[email protected] Mark's MVS Utilities: http://www.mzelden.com/mvsutil.html Systems Programming expert at http://search390.techtarget.com/ateExperts/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
