JC: This has always amazed me and its been true for both GUIDE and SHARE. It is a *GIVEN* that any release of MVS is going to have a high attendance. Why on earth do they find the smaller rooms to stick it in? It would be one thing if its repeated (its almost never). I used to plan my day about

Maybe it is even on a track-by-track basis. In the MVS-Storage track, attendance was up. We must have had at least a half-dozen sessions that filled the room to standing room only. Of course, the rooms were smaller then before; but we normally don't have 60+ at anything except the IBM next-release

Strong agreement! We don't even have "operators" any more. The "help desk" people can barely reset RACF ids even given the Web interface that I wrote (OK, that may be my bad - I'm not a web designer.) The production control people actually have VTAM SMCS consoles up on their desktop to monitor z/OS

After converting from OS/390 1.3 to z/OS 1.11, the HSM LIST BVOL and LIST MVOL commands are showing asterisks for the Percent Full fields. The Storage Administration manual states this means the value is unknown. We transferred the four existing CDS files to the new system and used the same AR

You may want to take a look at MSUMON, by Angel Luis Dominguez. It issues WTOs to console when the LPAR MSU/h mean consumption for the last 4 hours equals or exceeds the user specified threshold. You may find it here: http://perso.wanadoo.es/rptv2005/msumon/en/index.html HTH. Rafa. --
