Hi, gang. Many thanks for all of the suggestions for improvements to the format and layout of the z/VM user names file. I have used the suggestions to make a new serious of the names file, with all of the needed information contained in just one names file. You can get the new version here:
http://www.vsoft-software.com/zvmusers.vmarc After uploading to CMS and unpacking the vmarc file, you will have a names files of ZVMUSERS NAMES. Please read the comments for a description of what's in the file, how tags are used, etc. Here are some examples of searching the names file: 1) what are the components of z/VM? namefind :component all ( file zvmusers breaktag :component :component all :list OSA PERFTK RACF REXX RSCS TCPIP TSAF VMSES AVS BASE BLDDOC CMS ... Ready; T=0.01/0.01 10:18:30 2) What user ids and minidisks are involved in servicing DFSMS/VM? namefind :component dfsms/vm ( file zvmusers breaktag :component :component DFSMS/VM :name Data Facility Storage Management Subsystem (DFSMS) :DFSMS 1B1 1C4 1C2 1D6 1A6 1A4 1A2 1B5 191 29D :MAINT 19D Ready; T=0.01/0.01 09:41:57 Two users (MAINT and DFSMS) with their respective minidisks are used in servicing DFSMS/VM 3) What is the DFSMS 1C2 minidisk used for? namefind :nick dfsms ( file zvmusers :nick DFSMS :1A2.AUX files and software inventory tables that represent the servi :1A4.Contains AUX files and software inventory tables that represent :1A6.AUX files and software inventory tables that represent the test :1B1.all the base code shipped with DFSMS/VM. :1B5.build disk. :1C2.sample files. :1C4.for local modifications. :1D6.serviced files. :191.user ID's 191 minidisk. :29D.American English and Uppercase English help files for DFSMS Ready; T=0.01/0.01 11:51:04 or with less output: namefind :nick dfsms :1c2 ( file zvmusers sample files. Ready; T=0.01/0.01 11:51:53 Using the ":breaktag" option comes in handy here, I think. gobble, gobble.
