Right... someone else said the same thing.
So I'm a HLASM programmer. But for the record, whatever language it is, I
learned it originally in 1980 from the
IDCAMS Listcat does not show a Creation Date for an Alias item. I've been
trying-out the IGGCSIRX Exec (for Catalog Search Interface) -- but each
time I execute it, my os390.210 CATALOG address space produces an SVC
dump; and I wouldn't know how (in REXX) to unpack the date field to see if it
We have been using EMC's SRDF/A for almost 12 months now using z/os 1.4
About one month ago we migrated from 1.4 to 1.7 again using SRDF without
any problems.
This past weekend we put two of the 1.7 LPARS into a SYSLPEX along with
GRS.
Now we are seeing some programs that do lots of IO running

Rogers,
I don't know but we have just completed an upgrade using SRDF to get the
data off the old and onto the new EMC box. Some LPARs were at 1.6, some
at 1.8.
For the week we ran that way our performance guy got some very elongated
times and the graphs have a very definite peak for the week.

Simple question.
If I start JES2 with PARM='COLD,NOFMT' that will cold start the Checkpoint
and not format the Spool spaces. Then after that finishes do I still need
to format the Spool Space or will just cold
Alan,
We understand the performance impact when migrating data from on box to
another.
What we are doing is over a remote circuit, but the impact is after all
data has been moved and now only the changed data is being moved, then
the slow downs occurs.
I'll be surprised if I get an real answer
