convert DB2 data to a flat file

One of my clients is running a DB2 application on an iSeries system (not sure about the version). Their goal is to send us DB2 application data in the form of a flat file that can then be loaded to a non-DB2 application on our z/OS system (1.9). Is there a third party product or a utility they

Hi Lizette, You may want to code the following in your profile and never have to worry about time change -- unless of course, some smart (?) politician decides to push for another change to DST: TZ=EST5EDT export TZ=EST5EDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0

Re: z9BC - driver 67, z/OS 1.8?

John, We had to upgrade to MCL 67 to enable STP on our z9-BC a few months ago. The only 'issue' I can report is that we were 'forced' to do a POR by our SE. However, everything worked out and there were no issues - other than an extended outage. Regards, Jasbir Chauhan -Original

Re: A STP question

Hi Jim, Assuming that you are on z9 running z/OS 1.7 or greater AND that you have at least Driver 67 then you can configure your STP client to an NTP server by using the spare Ethernet port on your support element. We have done just that. It's the support element that needs to have connectivity

Re: Changing Mainframe's Clock

Hi Kayhan, We recently implemented STP on our z9. What I found was that you can maintain separate times per sysplex but not individual LPARs. In other words, if you have two Sysplexes P1 P2 and two LPARs per each sysplex then Syplex P1 P2 can technically maintain separate times but the

Re: WebSphere Question

Gary, WebSphere is a pretty broad term. There are a bunch of products that run under the brand name of WebSphere. From the type of workload (java) you are describing, it appears you maybe talking about Application Server. Could you elaborate a little on the actual product and its version.

Chargeback tools

I'm interested in comparing tools for resource-use-based chargeback. We don't have one today. The goal is to track the use of computing resources on the Mainframe. Besides CICS (transactions based), DASD (usage based, MSU usage etc .. what else should be accounted for? Comparing existing expenses

Re: Network Time Protocol (NTP) client support question

Thanks for all your responses. 2nd Level support too came back with the 'z/OS currently is not implemented as SNTPD client' response. However, they did add my name to the list of their 'Marketing database inquiries' for such a request. Apparently there are others who have made similar requests but

Network Time Protocol (NTP) client support question

As part of the PCI audit we need to look into adopting NTP (network time protocol) on the mainframe to ensure all of our 'systems' are synchronized. Can STP provide NTP client capability to maintain 'same time' across heterogeneous platforms. Hopefully, some one out there has a solution. I'll

Re: Soft Capping

One thing we found out the hard way was that the software charge for IBM products, under soft cap setup, can really get skewed -- e.g. -- say the charge for WAS is MSU based and it is active (runs) all day -- also say ,on average, it uses 80 MSU -- you then look at your SCRT at the end of the

Shark to EMC

Does anyone know of any utilities/products that facilitate mirroring from IBM's Shark to an EMC DASD. Regards, Jasbir -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Shark to EMC

Bob, I'd be interested in both -- one-off occurrence and constant mirroring. My answer may be a little flaky here because I don't have all the details (management controlled and pricing has a lot to do with that). Today, data exists on a SHARK. For one-off occurrence, would it not make sense to

Hi Folks, I read a brief on IFOCORE Rel_6.2 Lev_01 / Image FOCUS Core Rel_62 Lev_P10, software package from New Era Software, Inc. I've also been told that it goes beyond IBM's Health Checker. Is anyone running this product on their system and willing to share their experience. Best
