You're right, I made the changes to make it work and it does, but we get a violation for product X8 (Panvalet TSO), which I believe is bogus. I'll call Broadcom to make sure we didn't violate anything, but I think that the modules necessary for Panvalet TSO are different than these and it is

When they bought the machine they were moving from a z/800 and were told by IBM that they didn't "need" the specialty processor. In any case, it is what it is. Trying to get zIIP dollars from a site that doesn't have one, especially when their product doesn't support a zIIP would be kind of

Pretty crazy not to buy 1 ziip -- which for z13s would be 130 MSU or over 1400 mips additional. A lot of products are now ziip-enabled and this doesn't affect their software cost despite potentially 10 fold capacity increase. Of course it may be too late to buy ziip for z13s, but next time they

This site has a little single CPU z13s (88Mip, 10MSU), with not zIIP processors. There seems to be no reason for the increase that I can see, beyond just plain old greed. I also don't think people (vendors) should assume that it's a mainframe so the site can throw money around and spend

Currently they are using File-Aid to provide the interface, but compuware was acquired by BMC and they have decided that they want over $20K (close to 30) per year for just file-aid. That's like twice the price we previously paid for all three products File-aid, abend-aid and Xpeditor the

Does anyone have an inexpensive (i.e. free) working ISPF interface to Panvalet. There is one on the CBT Tape that doesn't support any recent versions of Panvalet and it abends because of Panvalet changing to PS datasets from DA, and also the format of the data being sent back from the PAN
