1 - Yes. 2 - Yes. 3 - We don't have any consoles defined in the IOCDS/IODF for NIP processing. All NIP stuff is done via the HMC System Console. For one, we'd like to see the HMC console operate more like the regular consoles. For example, not all WTOR's appear. -Original Message-

Is it possible to restore a data set from a DFSMShsm migrated copy without having an active DFHSM subsystem. I know that hsm uses dss as the data mover, but apparently the migrated data set isn't in standard dss DUMP format because a dss RESTORE gets an INVALID INPUT message. Is there a way to

Hello all, we are z/os v1.11. I was asked today if z/os could talk JMS and I wasn't sure how to answer that. I know we can use Java and that JMS means Java messaging service. Can anyone help me answer that question? Thanks == This email and any files transmitted with it

Mike, Usually, JMS is associated with a container. Of course WebSphere Application Server has it. It looks like Tomcat can support it. Most of the java containers have some sort of support for JMS. Perhaps you could answer if you already have some sort of messaging product? Like MQ or one of

C supports normal assembler parameter lists. It's an option, PLIST(OS). Search the manuals for how it all works. As I recall you get a void** variable named _r1 that points to what you would expect R1 to point to. I would *guess* you could make it work but I am far from an expert on SORT exits.

JMS is not a container-related API per se. It is a standard Java API (http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=914) that deals with asynchronous messaging. WebSphere MQ (which is completely distinct from WebSphere AS - the container) has a JMS interface, as do other commercial and free JMS compliant

Radoslaw, my understanding is that zHPF is negotiated between z/OS and the DSS CU if all the channels in the path group are FEx2 or FEx4. So, if this is the case, then I/O between that z/OS LPAR and that CU can use zHPF. So, my take on Q1 is that the host that has FEx2/FEx4 will be able to
