Hello Esmie,

GDG defined as NOEMPTY will ROLL-OFF the older members as you create +1 GDG 
members.

With the maximum number of members in a GDG set as 256, only the latest 256 
memebrs are connected (ROLLIN) to the GDG BASE catalog entry. ALl others are 
cataloged by their explicit name, and cannot be accessed via GDG indirect (-nn) 
dataset name.

Are you really sure you need to do what you doing.?

On IBM's not comprehensive list, z10 shows as trademark, and System z10

Well, recently I've got a picture of new Z SERIES ...smartphone.
Few features:
dual-core CPU,
NVIDIA Tegra 2 on board
S-Master MX
HDMI micro-output

I've got to say my z Series machine has none of the above features, 
more: I even don't know some of them (what's S-Master???).


Seriously, I don't know US law, but in my country it's possible to 
register some name for given market. So it could be possible to register 
then zzz-Machine for computers, while some shipyard equipment can have 
the same name.


BTW: The first Apple company I met was those established by the Beatles.

Apple (this i-One) for the name.

Heh. Only that was zSeries, one word, and that name is dead, for more
than seven years.

Monster Cable has/had zseries cable, and even owned zseries.com at one
point, although they never used it. Since those were *very* different
industries (OK, both have cables, but), that was clearly an OK confluence
of names. Smartphones...not so clear!

Re: My Last Days as a Sysprog

The main problem is a way to mark up the BM or PDF versions so that
you can share the marked up text. Depending on the software used,
bookmarking may also be an issue. The Kindle reader can display PDF
and you can also do bookmarking and mark up. But it is difficult to
share those. Okular on Linux can also do bookmarking and marking on
PDF files, but again they can't easily be shared. Well, perhaps if the
PDF is on a shared, writable, disk (NFS or CIFS or sshfs even).

  We have had maintenance (MCL) applied to our HMC and OSA cards, we now need

  The standard way to activate the applied maintenance is to power on reset,
  at this point we are unable to take an outage for this.
  We have a short maintenance window, too short to power down our Linux, z/VM
  Lpars and z/OS Lpars.
 
  We have seen some posts on ways to individually offline and online (start
  and stop) the OSA's to pull in the new maintenance.
 
  Our question for anyone that has gone through something like this, is there
  a sequence or procedure for this scenario? If so is there a documented step
  and order process and most of all what gotchas should we be aware of?
 
  System:
 
  z/196
 
  HMC 2.1.1
 
  1.   z/OS 1.12 (DB2, IMS, CICS, MQ) multiple Lpars
  2.   z/VM 5.4 hosting Linux 10, 11
  3.   OSA's (OSD, OSM, OSX and IQD) across all platforms.
 
 
 Well, it depends much on CHPID type, port usage and the operating system.
 For example if you have two OSD's you should be able to restart the 
 cards with no interruption to the network traffic.
 For OSC usually short outage is acceptable.
 General scenario for any chpid looks like the following:
 1. use system (network) commands to deactivate the traffic. It can be V 
 NET,ID=majnode,INACT and/or many other commands/activities/
 2. Use MVS command to VARY card_device,OFFLINE
 3. Use MVS command CF CHP(cc),OFFLINE - that's for z/OS, of course
 4. Use HMC/SE icon to toggle channel offline and online.
 5. CF CHP(),ONLINE, VARY dev,ONLINE, VARY NET,ACT
 
 
 BTW: IQD is internal network, not real card.

The C run-time library, IIRC. So it only works for things which are
written in C and use the C run-time (as opposed to written in C and
using some other method), or for things not using the C run-time, but
which look at the tag information themselves and do any conversion

For the most part, C runtime library functions can be called from any HLL
that generate an IBM standard parmlist.

It might not be convient to do in COBOL, etc. because there is no
appropriate header files.  However, you can manually build the parmlist.

I even use the some of the C subroutines in my LE enabled HLASM UNIX

for people. I guess that I could use the C I/O subroutines as well,
instead of the BPX1* callable services.

 For the most part, C runtime library functions can be called from any HLL
 that generate an IBM standard parmlist.

 It might not be convient to do in COBOL, etc. because there is no
 appropriate header files.  However, you can manually build the parmlist.

Re: My Last Days as a Sysprog

IBM seems to do this quite a bit here in Chicago.
They are encouraged even not to show up at the office.
They *USED* to have a desk at 1 IBM PLAZA but not anymore (for the  
most part).

I think IBM managed to screw up things when they did that.
Of course now its difficult to even find an IBM person.
10 years ago I asked IBM sales rep a question and he asks me how much  
am I willing to pay for the answer. IOW everything is a consultant  
these day.

IBM has Fked themselves up when they decided to do this.
The people IBM hires to sell systems now days is the same thing. When  
asked a specific question on something that is not covered in the  
manuals its $$$ .

Re: My Last Days as a Sysprog

Shmuel:

Proper formatting is not an answer. Many a times I have 6 or 8  
manuals open on my desk at even given time while I am trying to find  
an answer to a question.
I don't care how big a screen there is given my eye sight (or lake  
there of) can I find quickly a pdf or bks that I am looking for. I  
can remember where I put down a manual a lot faster than going  
through a screen(s). Now this maybe doable in 3D but I wouldn't bet  
on it.

With proper formatting and proper viewing software there's no reason
that you couldn't do everything with BM and PDF that you do with dead
trees. It would be more productive to convince IBM to improve the
tools rather than to push for restoring paper copies.

Re: My Last Days as a Sysprog

2013-02-04 Thread John Gilmore
Sam, you are at it again.

Context is all.  If the means are immoral, their effectiveness does
not of course legitimate them.

Thus Gibbon, in Chapter 28 of DFOTRE:

At Minorca the relics of St. Stephen converted in eight days 540 Jews;
with the help, indeed, of some wholesome severities, such as burning
the synagogues, driving the obstinate infidels to starve among the
rocks, . . .

making it clear that, however desirable some might judge the
conversion of the Jews to Christianity to be, this end did not justify
these means.

The question whether paper, PDF, or Book Manager versions of a
document are examined does not have this character.  I suggest that
you try to learn to think things and not words.

Pretentious abounds.
Communication's purpose is to communicate.
NOT to obsfucate!

If people don't understand you, it's not their fault. It's yours!
Also, the purpose of any list serve to help.
Not to play word games and confuse.

We have the same issues with MCL's for Crypto too.  We find it easier
to schedule POR once or twice per year to install MCL maintenance.


In case of Crypto cards the scenario is much easier, because you always 
have more than one engine *and* (in typical setup) every engine does the 
same job. So you make offline and restart one Crypto engine, while 
others still perform the job. There is an impact on performance, but 
usually it's not real problem.


Of course POR is even simpler, but spoils availability stats.
