I am to track system availability for z/OS, DB2, and some other critical started tasks. I need to report availability once a month, based on uptime as a percentage, e.g. 99.999%. Does SMF provide any information for tracking system availability(uptime) for stc, jobs, DB2 and other started tasks? >>CLICK for Mark's answer: http://search390.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid10_cid427343_tax287555,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= IMPORTANT FEATURES AND LINKS: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= SEARCH390 DISCUSSION FORUM | Sound Off Now that we've rung in the new year, what issues, trends or topics do you think will be the hottest in 2002?

The British Public Records Office has put the 1901 census for England and Wales online. Some pretty legendary folks are among the 32 million countees -- Charlie Chaplin, Florence Nightingale and J.R.R Tolkien to name three. It also lists 90,000 citizens described at the time as "lunatics, imbeciles and feeble-minded people" -- not the kind of language you'd see these days! The site, at www.census.pro.gov.uk, took two years to finish and should be a site to behold for historians and genealogy buffs.
