AW: Re: Short description of system address spaces

[Peter Hunkeler]

Thanks. What I imagine is a short descriptive paragraph (two to three 
sentences) for each AS. I already started with this. I will happily share the 
doc with anyone interested once its finished (make take a while, though).

Also, check out this link (search words:  order of tasks at ipl for ibm
mainframe )
http://www.ibmsystemsmag.com/mainframe/administrator/security/RACF,-Started-Task
s-and-System-Privileges/

The Tasks

System-related tasks are the minimum needed to keep your z/OS installation
ticking along. A fresh installation of a z/OS 1.4 SystemPac contains the
following IBM-provided started tasks:
 
ANTAS000 - Concurrent Copy Support
ANTMAIN - Concurrent Copy support

Re: Short description of system address spaces

[Lizette Koehler]

The list may contain products you do not run at your shop.

I am sure automation tools may have some documentation on your list.  

But how you identify CICS, IMS, DB2, etc... STCs, may make the list different
for you and not correlate to other shops.  It might be best to use your names
for those address spaces.


Most tasks have been documented in IBM manuals, and it just might take a little
digging to get the info you want.

I did a quick search on www.ibm.com and found this that might be helpful (search
words:  IPL FLOW).  About page 26 and 40 might be helpful.


http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=tss1prs3699=1


If you have SDSF (or like product) you can list the ASIDs in HEX order.  That is
the order the tasks are started.

Perhaps if you find a task you do not have documented, that might be easier to
answer.

I think there is a certain order at IPL time that system tasks are loaded.
After those are the ones the shop starts up to complete the IPL.

The former, Walt. And to make it clear, I do not need a mere list of names; I 
know then. I looking for a short description of those.


The z/OS Basics redbook that Mike pointed to is indeed a known good starting 
point. But it does not have a list of these adrdress spaces.

I see that Mike responded with a long list of names, which includes (I believe) 
a mixture of system address spaces and started tasks. That led me to wonder 
whether you were using "system address spaces" as a technical term (meaning 
things like *MASTER* and SMF and DUMPSRV but not things like RMF, SDSF, RACF, 
etc.) or whether you really meant it as a generic term that would encompass 
normal started tasks, too.

Short description of system address spaces

[Peter Hunkeler]

While educating colloeagues new to z/OS, I promised to come up with a short 
decription of all the system address spaces are for. Before starting to write 
this down, does anyone happen to have such a list they are willing to share? 
Note that I'm not takling about a description of elements and features. There 
is a manual providing this list.
