When using the old parms, it's likely that they have not 'lost access but that they have changed their settings and can't see the output because of that. To be sure, when they are in the output queue, they should type the PREFIX command with no options. If they still can't see it, they

Alan, Have you had the user do a WHO in SDSF and confirm that you are using the correct ISFPRM00? Maybe there is a default one shipped with the system you do not know you are picking up? Or perhaps you need to check on if the ISFPRM00 was compiled from before and the wrong version is in the

ZFS problems

Recently I first time IPLed z/OS 1.11. I followed IBM's recommendations and completely switched to ZFS filesystem (this is default in ServerPac). So long so good. However, possibly after some unclean system close (this is sandbox system) I had serious problems with IPL. OMVS could not

Radoslaw, this sounds like journal (log) replay issues. I guessing you had the root mounted read/write. You *really* don't want to be doing that - even on test systems, remount as r/w only for the time you need it (say for mkdir). zFS has had its share of latch contension issues, but I'd lean

All solved. There was a usermod to ISFUSER that was overlooked. IBM gave great guidance: The symptom looks like either the SDSF class and/or the JESSPOOL class is activated on the system. When either one of those 2 classes is activated, and when you have not customized the SDSF user

First, LIBR is a program, not a proc (VSE defaults to PGM, not PROC, on the EXEC statement). LIBR is a VSE operating system component. LIBR can be used to catalog, for example, an OBJ module in to a VSE library: // EXEC LIBR,PARM='ACCESS SUBLIB=USER.PROD' CATALOG DDAR04.OBJ REPLACE=YES

We were doing this for a few years, but in fact actually moved to DB2 on Intel because we were having performance issues with Linux for System z. From what I've heard on the internet I think it was simply a Linux for z tuning issue, but the inhouse VSE/VM sysprogs and (distributed) Linux

This is very difficult to quantify, as it depends upon a great many things; the speed of the CP that z/VSE is running on, the speed of the IFL that Linux is running on, whether or not hipersockets is in use, the MTU size of the link, the release of z/VSE, the release of DB2 LUW, the number of rows

You should mount the sysres zFS files read only (as you should have been doing with HFS also). But also make sure you have this in your zFS parms: romount_recovery=on/* see APAR OA22351 */ Mark -- Mark Zelden - Zelden Consulting Services - z/OS, OS/390 and MVS

You have to wonder why this is even a consideration. The journal should be run automagically unless the customer chooses not to. In the unlikely event a filesystem is unmounted uncleanly *AND* the subsequent mount is changed from R/W to R/O, the decision not to run the journal should be the
