Re: Dataset-held message to TSO user

2007-11-16 Thread Skip Robinson
ISGECMON appears to work as self-advertized. A quick test on our sandbox gives good results: the owning user is notified regardless of where the job is running. Note that this program works altogether differently from DSNHELD, which is an MPF exit kicked off by message IEF863I on the batch job's

look for ich408 in syslog. It has nothing to do with APF. It's a RACF facility class/resource that starts with STGADMIN and ends in UALIAS. I don't have the appropriate manual(s) in front of me, but I think the full name was spelled out by another poster. - Too busy driving to stop for gas!

Thanks as well to Mr Jaffe for pointing to the thing right under my nose. It looks as if running the task on every sysplex member may do the trick because contention is visible to all around. I'll play with it. I could be wrong, but if memory serves me correctly, ISGECMON reports

Frankly, I'd like to see IBM do this type of donation/assistance program at the 2-year community college level. Not to knock 4-year schools, but the type of student in a 2-year school is interested in getting a skill quickly, and employers like hiring entry-level folks that have had some

The need here is for an interactive user to get notified of contention. For batch vs. batch, there's nobody home to answer the phone. Something may need to be done, but hollering at the resource owner is hoarse abuse.

I've always assumed there was slightly less overhead in running batch REXX without the TSO TMP, provided you didn't need any TSO commands or ISPF services - but I suspect this overhead is minimal. I believe you also avoid the need for several DDs, which in a bizarre case might make a
