Yes you have to initialize the keys in each LPAR but using CUT PASTE in your

It works, great support, and importantly will produce reports at completion
suitable for auditors and government regulators.

The right data (compressible) with the right R/W mix can be very beneficial.
We compress SMF data on disk and SVC dumps using SMS. Both compress well and
the performance in many use cases has been improved as well as considerable
disk space savings. Innovation IAM compression is great and very
We have a good compliment of native 3592 E06 tape drives in addition to VTS/VTL
libraries and will. We even have a pair of 3490 drives for data exchange with
agencies that don't support data transmission. Tape is far from dead but we
are very restrictive about access to native tape drives.
Curious if this was a single processor CF?
We have never had an outage due to a CF even though we have had one fail and
structures rebuild into another.
I have seen performance opportunities that were solved by operating our
production data sharing CF's as 2 processor rather than 1 too improve

I am now trying to figure out how to directly download a CBTTape file to a
z/OS system and process it there. I.e. eliminate the need to download to a
desktop, unzip, then ftp to the mainframe.
It is available. All you need to FTP access to cbttape.org from your z/OS

Hi Mauri,
We have done this in all but our largest data sharing Sysplex which is
scheduled next month.
Currently there is an open interesting APAR OA39941.
If you exceed 80% of Large Pages you will get an exciting red hi-lite message
from SRM.
Nothing bad may happen but some ISV products may
Do you have the PTF for APAR OA38786 applied?
If not you might install that. If you do you should contact IBM. You should
not have to do any cleanup of data from the directory manually it is supposed
to be done automagically.

There is no IPL requirement to switch from recording to MANx to recording to
z/OS Logger.
This is an option that not only would improve performance could save general
purpose CPU if you modify your processing. As an example.
Typically shops record to MANx, then immediately dump to a
I noticed that Jolly Giant (Jim Rymerson) announced a full tablet version of
their 3270 emulator http://www.jollygiant.com/qws3270tablet/ QWS3270.

were a few more choices than I expected with a price range from

Draft - IBM zEnterprise EC12 Technical Introduction
Many shops especially IBM's largest customers have requirements that are met by
the new zEC12. There are significant costs savings possible.
They can save money by consolidating multiple footprints using the increased
capacity and meeting performance challenges.
Some applications are limited
My .02 I view the SMF Type 99 data as part of the z/OS Flight Recorder you
don't need it till you want it then it is priceless. The cost of not saving it
may be recreating a painful performance problem or worse unable to recreate

Hi Manshadi,
You might check to see if you have Defined Capacity or Group Capacity setup on
the HMC for the LPARs on this CEC.
This would fit with the general symptom of IPL and then sometime later seeing a
slowdown. You said 12 hours but I want to consider that might be subjective
and not

Why would you add anything to HZSPRMxx? The check default is what you coded.
You just need to make sure you have appropriate automation to forward the

better.
