Not sure how I would use ISRDDN in a clist? I've considered parsing LISTALC output, but was just wondering if there was an easier way. Thanks, Cathy -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email

Thanks, Mark. The problem is with a vendor-provided clist. They've given me a workaround that involves locally modifying a bunch of their clists, which I'll have to track and refit if they should provide PTF's (it's not SMP-maintained). I thought I'd make it easier on myself by updating

defining multilevel aliases, review your data set naming conventions. If MLA's will solve a problem for you, great, but I wouldn't do it lightly. Regards, Cathy Taddei On Fri, 21 Apr 2006 13:10:04 -0400, Jousma, David [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: All, We are evaluating making a change from MLA(1

Oh really? I'm not familiar with the 2086-450 minus 25% model. According to the aforementioned zSeries 890 and z/OS Reference Guide, you can put a Coupling Facility in a standard LPAR (i.e., using CPs instead of ICFs), but whether those CPs are dedicated or shared, IBM software charges apply.

Well, one reason why is that I only want to bring up my CF LPAR in case of an extended outage on my external CF. We investigated all kinds of combinations and permutations, one of them being to upgrade our 2086-450, having 4 engines and 650 mips, to 2 engines and 700 mips, and convert one of the

2006-01-30 Thread Cathy Taddei
My research tells me you can do this with General Purpose CP's as well as IFL's. The down side of using CP's instead of IFL's is that the CPU capacity used by the Coupling Facility are counted in the total size of the machine for software licensing purposes. You can even share CP's between an
