This thread was originally motivated by needing to move from an older DS8 subsystem to a new one. We've done this repeatedly over the years with a combination of utilities and IPLs spread over several months. The goal this time was to do it in a big bang allowing for several hours of down time

Re: What happens if an SMF exit modifies the SMF record?

2019-06-14 Thread Dan D
Maybe it’s not being corrupted in the SMF record but at the source. Many SMF fields are copied from various control blocks. Check if that location is being walked on. Dan -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access

You are correct. I did mean to type 527 for the file number. 529 has several COBOL programs which can process various SMF data records. Matthew On Fri, 14 Jun 2019 20:38:54 +, David Spiegel wrote: >Hi Matthew, >I think that you meant File 527. > >Regar,s, >David > >On 2019-06-14 15:18,

We are considering using honorpriority=no for some of our DB2 workload, batch and online, and I'm wondering if anyone else has turned it on. In other threads many have talked about running zIIP processors hot - 'Why are highly busy zIIPs worse than highly busy CPs. The last thing that I want

Yes! I remembered this exit being added to z/OS. I looked and looked and looked at Installation Exits and when I could not find it, figured I must have read more into CSVLLIXn than really existed. z/OS desperately needs some sort of "master index." IBM has the AI to be able to put up a site that
