We are a small shop looking to migrate from a single LPAR 2066-001 to a z9. On a normal day we hit 100% CPU utilization for several hours during Prime Shift (8AM-4PM). The Prime shift workload consists of production online work (CICS, IMS and DB2) from our business community, development

This was definitely about 3800 device support. Historically JES2 had controlled a slew of peripheral devices: printers, punches, TP, RJE, NJE. The code to handle I/O to these devices was included in JES2 modules. The 3800 was a logical candidate but a most unfortunate one. The 3800 was far more

Re: Full DASD Volume Copy

Hi Bob, I can't speak for others, but when I copied volumes, I usually used FDR. If I remember correctly, it always left the name for the VTOC and VVDS the same. I just ignored it and never had a problem. I only had this problem on copying RES packs. I would copy IPLRES to ALTRES. Then

datasets for the indexed VTOC and VVDS reflect the name of the volume That has never been a problem. Since they're not catalogued, the names are meaningless. They are found (through the VTOC) by TTR, not by name. - Too busy driving to stop for gas!

Look into zPCR from IBM. zPCR is not necessarily that strong. There are no (as yet) measurements above 24 CP's. There is a lot of straight lining. There are a lot of workloads that were measured on one generation, that didn't get it on the next; there are others that didn't make it until
