A simple question. Do you have more than the 2 LPARS? If so, the the ZSYSID will probably be different for each LPAR. If that is not what you want, You may need to create a LOGON process to set a var that is used by your ISPF Prim panel. That way all LPARS except SYSTS1 will get the same

Offload work to zIIP with zPRIME

2009-07-16 Thread Lizette Koehler
I have a concern about the zPRIME product. If the zXXP engines are for SRB (pre-emptible) work, then my understanding is that the SRB cannot have any SVCs save for OPEN. So I am wondering how the process could work when normal TCB work would have SVCs it executes. Is there a way to determine

I think this may work. Have you tried stopping the DAE process? If ADYSET01 has DAE=STOP,GLOBALSTOP in it, try issuing T DAE=01. Then see if you can work with your SYSDDIR. You can always restart DAE with T DAE=00 if you have it setup according to the MVS Init and Tuning Ref. Lizette I

What is the maximum number of TSO users you can have on at one time? Does this 3rd party app ever logoff? If you could catch a moment when it gets that message, can you do a D TS,L and see how many TSO users are logged on? You may be able to do this periodically with an automation process

Since this is a 3rd party vendor, I am not sure you could convert to SYSTEM REXX which was implemented in z/OS V1.9. AXR is the prefix for SYSTEM Rexx. I am guessing that the vendor has you running a PROC for this process using IRXJCL? Or is it a IKJEFTxx program? Currently if your normal

CA1 list the level when it starts? It should be in the syslog then, or you can try displaying it from the DA screen, although that may be something that comes up with no displayable data. I can't look since I don't have a system available. - Original Message - From: Lizette Koehler

When you used Mark's solution, how did you code //SMFDUMP PROC MAN='X',ALL=FALSE The X= part? This process requires the fully qualified MAN file to be dumped. You should have started the ALL process something like S SMFDUMP,MAN='SYS1.MANx',ALL=TRUE Where MAN is your fully qualified man file.

Thanks for the correction. I should not respond from the top of the head. It never works for me. Anyway I have a clearer description of the issue. Apparently DFHSM is using ESOTERICS, and we will need to create a new esoteric (including a change to the IODF) for it to use for the E05 drives.
