After reading IBM's Redbooks about migration, I've two questions about the changes. 1. We've encountered system changes like DCT, RCT and Log. But for applications, we didn't see imperative changes caused by obsolete orders. Did we forget anything? 2. This version allows TSname with 16 characters (QNAME). Will future versions make the 8 characters name (QUEUE) obsolete? >> CLICK for Ken's answer: http://search390.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid10_cid450005_tax289214,00.html ___________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------- ****** Special Training Offer: 30% off - Introduction to XML ****** ------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're looking to learn XML, this is the perfect introductory course.

What's the easiest way to plot the PGN execution velocities shown in the RMF Workload Activity report? We have a sysplex still in compat mode (in "gray mode"). Rather than just looking at the Ex Vel% value for any given interval and performance group I would like to see something like a graph of a 24-hour period. Will RMF Spreadsheet Reporter show this or is there another way to reduce this data?" Think you know the answer? If so, please share your thoughts and post a response in our Operating Systems forum: http://search390.discussions.techtarget.com/WebX?[EMAIL PROTECTED]^[email protected]/300!viewtype=convDate&skip=&expand= =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= SEARCH390 TIPS CONTEST | Win a PenCam 64MB Mini Digital Camera!
