A few follow-up comments:
1. It is possible (and common) to see different MSU values for z/OS and,
for example, for DB2 in SCRT reports. That is, a particular LPAR could peak
at 10 MSUs for z/OS and peak at 8 MSUs for DB2 (and 7 MSUs for CICS), or
whatever. All the major IBM products (plus
Seymour in my experience can respond to his own critics. This time, however, .

'FILO' is transparent. It means first in, last out by analogy with 'FIFO',
first in, first out. Seymour did not invent it. Constructs of this sort are
due chiefly to Knuth, and about such criticisms of

Why? FDR Dump/Restore utilities used to support this in some manner,
but I always found this concept dubious. The whole point
Innovation Data Processing's FDRINSTANT product is designed to do this.
Apart from being able to backup offline volumes created by the replication
technologies of the various storage vendors, it's also able to backup z/VM
and z/LINUX volumes that are not able to be mounted to a z/OS operating
Joel,
DFSMSdss backup with dump conditioning and FlashCopy may not work equally
well with all types of in-system replication, such as Shadowimage or
Timefinder. DFSMSdss/FlashCopy also has limitations where the source volume
for FlashCopy is offline to the system where ADRDSSU is running, such as
Hi Timothy,
I certainly can't speak for all shops, but for mine and I suspect others, there
are problems acheiving reductions (leveling, if you will) in the 4 hour peak.
We used to run 24x7, until the budget mess hit. Now we run 16x5. With the
next round of layoffs planned, it will

What are the +/- of sharing?

With customers or vendors?
For vendors, it's a chance to collect less money...not so appealing.

Hi Christian,

It's currently in Beta, but there are no known issues in the past 40+ days.
