We have 2 GB of real storage. The WebSphere people tell us we need 768 MB of virtual memory and it needs to be backed up by at least 1-1/2 times the swap space. I don't see any benefit to creating VDISK for this type of instance. What am I missing? >> CLICK for David's expert response: http://search390.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid10_cid517440_tax293308,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= HOW TO STATICALLY LINK IGZEBST MODULES IN LE? | Ask the Expert Dear Tom Ross, We know that old IGZEBST modules statically LINKed will cause problems during LE (Enterprise COBOL) migration. The answer is to LINK subroutines with NCAL. However, we can't afford to mass relink hundreds of existing modules due to availability considerations. Is it feasible for IBM to force an LE version of IGZEBST in linking static modules? Would you suggest any other alternative? >> CLICK for Tom's expert response: http://www.search390.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid10_cid517930_tax285603,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= HOW TO SPECIFY A DELAY INTERVAL IN CICS? | Ask the Expert Dear Robert Harris, We are curently using a delay interval of zero in one of our CICS applications. This function is causing too much CPU usage. Are you aware of a routine, subroutine or command that can enable us to specify a delay interval in milliseconds? >> CLICK for Robert's expert response: http://search390.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid10_cid516643_tax289214,00.html ___________________________________________________________________ :::::::::: DON'T MISS THESE IMPORTANT MESSAGES AND LINKS ::::::::: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= FEATURED TOPIC | Running Linux under VM & z/VM IBM's VM (Virtual Machine) operating system has evolved into today's z/VM, a flexible, scalable system that has gained in popularity many say due to Linux.
