Tom, did you ever get any offline responses to this?
By the way I feel a blog entry on BatchPipeWorks coming on. :-)
Martin,
No responses from that or from another recent request for information.
(Apparently I'm either off where the trains don't run -again- or else the
information was viewed by others potentially holding it as 'strategic' and non-
shareable. I'd bet on me being off where the trains don't run.)
I would have thought that a pure JCL high speed DD-to-DD file connection
across LPARs would have been used more often in the wild. I know (from my
days inside) that there was at least some interest/use in socket connections
between BatchPipes and AIX boxen (since I wrote an APAR to fix the odd case
of a zero-length logical record coming in from AIX; BP supported it after the
APAR.) (*shrug*)
I guess people are happy writing data to storage, using FTP to ship it from
storage to storage via sockets, then reading it back into a program. ALL that
FTP I/O is unnecessary overhead.
Without BP, to paraphrase Popeye the Sailor, Well SLOW me down!
