re: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2017j.html#27 Db2! was: NODE.js for z/OS more trivia ... my wife served stint in the gburg JES group ... one of the catchers for ASP to turn into JES3 ... then was one of the authors of "JESUS" (JES Unified System) ... the combined features of JES2 and JES3 that the respective customers couldn't live without ... but for various reasons never went any further. She then was con'ed into going to POK to be responsible for mainframe loosely-coupled architecture ... where she did "peer-coupled shared data" architecture. She didn't remain very long because of 1) little update (except for IMS hotstandby until sysplex & parallel sysplex much later) and 2) constant battles with the communication group trying to force her into using SNA for loosely-coupled operation (periodic truce where they allowed she could use anything within the datacenter walls, but communication group had strategic ownership of everything that crossed datacenter walls) past posts http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/submain.html#shareddata -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
