Radoslaw, Feel free to call me "Bob". Richards is my last name.
Please view UA97969 in total. You will see the relationship there. I did not think it was appropriate to cut and paste the entire PTF here. Bob -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of R.S. Sent: Thursday, November 7, 2019 1:05 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: CBPs (processors) - what is it? Richard, No, it was reponse to Mike's post. Mike provided link to Share presentation about MQ in sysplex. CBP is (was) one of the sysplex links. It was thick copper cable 10 meters long (no longer versions), it was replaced by Infiniband and later by CS5. Obviously old sysplex channel has nothing to do with z14 and processors. BTW: I'm aware of CBP chpid and that's why I put "processors" in the topic. To avoid confusion. BTW: the PTF you mentioned is related to z14, but I see no relationship to CBP. Maybe except BCP which is similar acronym, but completely different animal. ;-) Regards -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland W dniu 2019-11-07 o 18:37, Richards, Robert B. pisze: > If you were responding to me, I beg to differ: > > ++ PTF (UA97969) /* > //UA97969 JOB 5698-97969,SA300,MSGLEVEL=(1,1),CLASS=A */ . > ++ VER (Z038) > FMID(HWRE410) > PRE (UA97308,UA96965,UA95433,UA92819) > SUP (UA97081,BA55159,BA55157,AA55159,AA55157) > /* > PROBLEM DESCRIPTION(S): > OA55159 - > **************************************************************** > * USERS AFFECTED: All System Automation for z/OS customers of * > * the releases V3.5 and V4.1 using the * > * Processor Operations function of the product * > * to monitor and control their processor * > * target hardware / target systems. * > * * > * All System Automation for z/OS customers of * > * the releases V3.5 and V4.1 using the BCP * > * Internal Interface (BCPii) function of the * > * product to monitor and control their * > * processor target hardware / target systems. * > **************************************************************** > * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: New Function support for IBM z14, * > * D/T3906 and D/T3907. * > **************************************************************** > New Hardware support. > > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On > Behalf Of R.S. > Sent: Thursday, November 7, 2019 11:16 AM > To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU > Subject: Re: CBPs (processors) - what is it? > > No, this is different CBP.
