So About those Consoles on the z10 HMC

2009-12-13 Thread Ed Long
Happy Holidays to one and all. So, we have a new z/10 BC which replaced a z890 and will also soon replace a 7060. Being a small ISV we have limited system programming and no operator staff. We use the HMC as our console; on the old OS2 systems, PCOMM did an adequate job of allowing us to see

Light Weight Printing from Development z/OS 1.8 to HP Laser Jets

Hi all and Happy New Year. I'd like to setup a facility whereby I can print directly from JES2 to an HP Laser Jet type printer without dedicating a printer, buying a printer, or spending time I don't have in INFOPRINT jail. What do you do for z/OS printing in a development context? The require

FTPing of DFDSS Dump Files

Thanks again to everyone who assisted with this, particularly Mark and Peter. While its true that we could name the exit anything, the IBM supplied sample jobs use IEFU29 thereby duplicating the dummy name. It would be interesting, if I wasn't up to my handsome nose in DB2 v8, to research the h

Hi everyone. I recently suffered a console flood caused by the RACFDS running out of space. This is an ADCD z/OS 1.5 system. The out of space condition appears to have occurred due to an oddity in how DB2 archive logs were RACF protected. Each dataset Db2 created caused RACF to create a match
