A RECOMMENDATION FOR WLM IN GOAL MODE | Ask the Expert

Before WLM GOAL mode we built an association between address space,
PGN and DP via the IPC/ICS members. 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?

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?

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.

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. (SearchCRM.com)

FEATURED WHITE PAPER | Object management for DB2

Most mission critical production applications rely on relational
database technology to manage business data. 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.

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.
