Re: Weirdest. Acquisition. Ever. Broadcom buys CA Technologies . The Register
I think there are positive ways to view this. - According to one report Broadcom has a history of buying troubled companies and turning them around. - If prices go up, some sites will be forced to drop products that are not used much, or are otherwise not earning their keep, in favor of alternatives. This would, IMHO, strengthen the quality of competitors' offerings, since there is more potential cash flow at higher prices. OREXXMan JCL is the buggy whip of 21st century computing. Stabilize it. Put Pipelines in the z/OS base. Would you rather process data one character at a time (Unix/C style), or one record at a time? IBM has been looking for an HLL for program products; REXX is that language.

Re: [External] Re: Weirdest. Acquisition. Ever. Broadcom buys CA Technologies . The Register
At a former site, we had a CA product called RAPS (which apparently doesn't exist anymore for z/OS) for report distribution. When I opened the package to install it, I was confronted with a letter that started with "Thank you for being an alpha test site for our product". We decided to install it anyway and went through the pain of debugging their code multiple times. After fighting it for 2-3 years (it kind of worked...) we threw it out and went with a competitor. Knowing CA's penchant for buying up the competition we had the follow-on vendor give us a signed agreement that if they were ever acquired by CA they would supply us the source code for their entire product and allow us to take over maintenance and keep away from CA. Fortunately we never had to use that clause in the contract.

Re: Weirdest. Acquisition. Ever. Broadcom buys CA Technologies • The Register
Both of my former lives we went through the same thing with CA; in the end the will was never there. Here in my third life we went through the same inflexibility and insanity with them, and we made the same threats, but this time we followed through on it. We have been CA-free since March of 2016. TSS, CA-1, Balance, Allocate, and a bunch of others, all gone, and man is it nice.
