Our performance monitors would run at a DP higher than the address spaces that they were monitoring. What is your recommendation for WLM in GOAL mode? For example, I classify VTAM to SYSSTC. Should I also have the monitors at SYSSTC? >> For Steve's expert response, CLICK: http://search390.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid10_cid522173_tax285125,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= PRODUCTION WORK VS. NON-PRODUCTION WORK | Ask the Expert All five production ADABAS (ADAPROD) servers are running at a lower dispatch priority (DP) than all other ADABAS servers. I know that DP is dynamic, but why is production work running at a lower DP than non-production work? >> For Steve's expert response, CLICK: http://search390.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid10_cid513048_tax285125,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= VM 101 PART 1 | Ask the Expert I've been an MVS Systems Programmer for 17+ years. My employer wants to explore z/VM and Linux. I know there is a lot of Linux related education, but how about VM? Where do I start learning how to set up VM in an LPAR running on a Linux-only CPU? How do I set up my hardware configuration? I know that all this can be done but I don't know how? I need basic VM 101. >> For Dave's expert response, CLICK: http://search390.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid10_cid518106_tax293472,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= IBM-ONYX HOSTED CRM PARTNERSHIP BRINGS NEW DIMENSION TO MIDMARKET A new joint offering from IBM and Onyx Software should prove a staunch competitor for other vendors in the hosted CRM space. Among the selling points are increased levels of customization compared with other services, as well as a migration path to traditional, internal CRM.

This means that when applications are updated, their database counterparts need to be addressed as well. This means that relational databases require DBAs to constantly monitor, maintain and administer modifications. This white paper discusses this challenge and offers one way to address it with the Quest Central Database Administration component. >> For more information, or to download this white paper, CLICK: http://search390.techtarget.com/whitepaperPage/0,293857,sid10_gci879469,00.html >> For more white papers, CLICK: http://search390.techtarget.com/whitepapers =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= THE MISSING LINK | Sorry Charlie, technology invades tuna privacy That cliche just isn't true -- there are not plenty of fish in the sea. But technologists are trying to keep the tuna from floating to the top of the endangered species list. Scientists have developed a scalable (literally!) computer that they can stick inside a live yellowfin whopper. The computer then records and transmits data about the host's life and social habits. Tuna are a very private species, and these techno tunas (the big ones that can't get away) will transmit data that researchers can use to advise the fishing industry on ways to keep the schools swimming. Overfishing is a concern because tuna have such a special place in the hearts, palates, pantries and casseroles of so many humans. >> CLICK: http://www.reuters.co.uk/newsArticle.jhtml?type=oddlyEnoughNews&storyID=2443693 >> Want to hear more offbeat tales from the world of information technology?
