ESP under Z/os 1.7 Heads up

[Hal Merritt]

We run the ESP scheduler formally offered by Cybermation, now by CA. We
upgraded one of two LPARs in a basic sysplex from z/os 1.4 to 1.7. 

A mission critical feature of the scheduler is detecting when data sets
are created or modified (dataset triggers).  That feature does not seem
to be working under 1.7. 

We are working with CA for a resolution.  

HTH.

Hal:  the problem might be specific to SysPlex as we've been z/OS 
v1.7 here since the fall without problems.  However, we're a 
MonoPlex.  I just cycled our test Cics region and the triggered job 
was run.  I've pasted some information that you might use for 
comparison values with CA.  (Yeah, I wasn't thrilled with the call 
last fall that Cybermation had sold out.)
