Re: How to compare parameters in one z/Os with parameters in another z/OS

The way I (would) do that is reading each system parmlib members and create each member a single string (concatenate lines). Then I would remove blanks (Rexx space(String,1)). If the lines are ordered the same, it will work for you. For members having the chance of different order, but same

This is impossible. The decision must be made in advance to determine what a particular value should be or how it should be interpreted. There is no software (or healthchecker) that can take the place of actually looking at a value and assessing its use/value There are no silver bullets It

Isn't this pretty much what NewEra's IMAGE Focus does? You need "PARMLIB intelligence." You can't just do a character compare. For example you have to understand which PARMLIB statements are statement order independent, and which are not. I think that is what IMAGE Focus does. Charles

For a starting point, do an IPLINFO and save the result to a dataset, and a script of console displays of information you want to compare. System name needs to appear in the data set name. Run on each system and compare. On Sun, Jun 13, 2021 at 6:51 PM ibmmain wrote: > > Hi all > > > We want to

There is no getting around the manual examination that is required. Once this is completed then you can evaluate whether parameters should be shared, copied, etc. to establish how they are to managed into the future. There is no other way, since it seems that no one knows that has actually

Dear We could write a program to handle specific parameters and values before comparing them against the target library We found that some parameters are just defined in a different order in different z/os, but they are actually the same definition Some parameter definitions have different

There is a utility program (IEBCOMPR) and functions like SuperCompare to do this. It is quite trivial. Unless you mean that these libraries are not truly comparable in which case no comparison is possible. Under those conditions you would have to have a program which could have specific

Hi all We want to make sure two z/OS use the same parameters(PARMLIB,VTAMLST,and so on) Because there is some parameter which is multiline in member, it isn't easy to compare them. Is there any way to compare parameters in one z/Os with parameters in another z/OS Any
