Closest thing is to install the GUI locally and use offline mode if you have access to the customer discs. But that’s just the GUI. There’s no way to use DSCLI without a real DS to connect to. -Ben Sent from my iPhone > On May 11, 2019, at 11:54 PM, Peter wrote: > > Hi > > Is there a

Hello! Thanks for the reply! So, I have a really dumb question that will expose the fact that I don't know anything about how to use Softcopy Librarian, but hopefully may help someone else also. Normally, I'd go investigate, but since there's a time crunch here, I thought I'd ask

Hi! Thank you for that clarification. Just to be 100% clear, that does mean that the Library Server site, https://publib.boulder.ibm.com/support/libraryserver/library, will indeed be shut off after the June 1 date, correct, or will it continue to be online, but just not maintained?

Hi! Please forgive the question, but I don't carve up new volumes every day. When I do, they're typically FB, and I'm trying to learn more of the mainframe side. I'm hoping someone on here might have run into this on a DS8000 and can spot what's going on. I'm also working with IBM on it,

accounting packages

2015-03-13 Thread Benjamin Huntsman
Pardon the dumb question, but I'm just curious... Does anyone know of any financial accounting packages available on the market for z/OS (or VSE), that may be small(ish)-business friendly? Or do pretty much all mainframe customers roll their own? Many thanks! -Ben

Re: accounting packages

2015-03-13 Thread Benjamin Huntsman
Is there a reason that it needs to be on the mainframe? If it's a small business, there are plenty of suitable accounting packages such as QuickBooks available at a low price. No, no reason at all. I'm just not aware of any such products that do run on the Mainframe, and didn't find any with

This is a theoretical exercise, and I'm a newbie, so please pardon me if this is basic stuff... Let's say I have a DASD volume on one system, and it has a user catalog on it for all the datasets on the volume, and I want to move this volume to a different system that knows nothing about it

We got one with our 2105. The 2105's long gone, but the guy who lead the project to buy it still had the fin. He left the company recently and took the fin with him. It had been #1 on my list of things to loot, but I guess I won't get the chance. I've met several folks who have them, and
