Re: APPN networking question - Identifying transient users.

Thanks for the suggestions of using the session establishment exits from the old SSCP networking days. I think the hurdles are too advanced for me. While I could possibly get a working exit, I also have concerns about how those exits work in the "new" APPN world. (New = over 30 years) My

The CDRSCS display are good for showing you session that are active between the host you are on and host sessions to and from other systems. I cannot find a way to dispaly the 'back chatter" between the other systems that have used me as a conduit.

I have tried to ask this question before but have found it difficult to put into words. Picture three mainframes A, B, and C. There are terminals owned by A that communicate with applications on C. There is no direct APPN link from A to C. B has links to A and C.The sessions from A find C

Re: Rexx numeric digits and scientific notation question

the new Telum chip in the z16, the question remains: How do we leverage its potential? For this, we require Python libraries—either TensorFlow or PyTorch—running on s390x architecture (for now). My impresson has been that Python is central to AI, but I'm curious about more general use cases
