Software vendor trying to force MSU based contract

2017-02-28 Thread JT
Has anyone else experienced this?

A vendor for a mainframe data entry product used for the last 30 years (with a 
perpetual unlimited seat license) has sent us a contract addendum where they 
increase the price by 60+% and include language to change to a MSU based 
license.

The use of this product is dwindling while our MSU foot print is growing.

When questioned about the change the representative indicated government 
contracts give him no room to negotiate on price.

This will be turned over to the legal department, but I am interested how 
others have handled similar situations.

z114 added capacity with added engine

2014-06-20 Thread JT
Just added capacity to our 2818-S01 to make a 2818-V02.

Our activation profile shows one GP and one zIIP with no reserves.
Short of an IPL, is there any way for my single z/OS 1.13 LPAR to see and use 
the 2nd engine?

CE seemed to remember some one one time had this magic command ...



D M=CPU shows one GP and one zIIP

 PROCESSOR STATUS
 ID  CPU 
 00  +   
 01  +I  
 
 CPC ND = 002818.M05.IBM.
 CPC SI = 2818.V02.IBM.02
  Model: M05 

Any insight would be appreciated.

From my manager.
Is it possible to run CICS (executing COBOL application code) on an IFL?
