We are not on z13s yet, but we've been using the Javascript version for a few months now on EC12s, and it's generally okay - we do get the NIP messages okay, recently we had to reply to some when we mucked up some page datasets.
I agree it blips sometimes, but I've put that down to the browser (IE) rather than IBM's code - though I could be wrong :-) I always use it maximised on a 4:3 display (no wide screen for me yet..). I dislike the HTML it generates, with extra spacing around the lines, meaning fewer display lines on screen at any one time, and I also want more scroll back - somewhere in the region of 5k lines would be good, especially for IPLs. We discovered a bug in it too - we have some read-only user Ids, meaning you can watch the console but not respond, as the command line and button are greyed out. That's fine, but after a shutdown, reset and IPL, those fields are enabled... -- Andy Styles Original Message From: Barbara Nitz Sent: Tuesday, 6 June 2017 07:43 To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Reply To: IBM Mainframe Discussion List Subject: Re: "New" Java-less Operating System Messages blips like crazy -- This email has reached the Bank via an external source -- >I'm trying to use the new Java-less Operating System Messages console on >the HMC.

Same here; ever since we got the z13, it is essentially impossible to see NIP messages because the console doesn't scroll anymore. The first screen fills and then just blips, no new messages, and no scrollbar. When I reported it, it was implied that this was due to my 'failure' to use the tree-style interface. I have resorted to using the 3270 console. Which has the disadvantage that you cannot scroll back. But at least I see the NIP messages. After a while (and after closing the OSM screen and reopening it), the OSM screen actually gets a scroll bar. Never mind that the buffer is so small that the first messages have already gone. IBM was unable to tell me how to increase that buffer size. I am glad that I am not the only one who sees this.
