Is someone involved in running a stretched sysplex across a distance of 60km
with db2 of at least 2-way data sharing? I read from some IBM documentation
that as the distance increases, the is also increase in the CF link response.

In Ring mode, all systems always have all of the ENQ information for all
of the other systems. In Star mode, each system has only its own ENQ

Trying to tread lightly here. Be careful what you wish for. Our network folks

problems on mainframe, not because intrusion was successful but because
response to the attempts wreaked havoc. Some examples.

IOS runs in a combination of DIE and SRB code, except for error recovery
routines running in an SIRB. So if it needs to write an error messages rather

Not that it answers the original question but you could try the GRS command D

An example would be D GRS,RES=(*,SYS1.SCBDHENU). The output that comes back

I never used the ENQ keyword before. Yup, I get the same behavior. No idea how
to get around it. Moreover, I don't know why it behaves this way. In most
respects, star mode is far superior to ring mode. Go figure.

NAMP: Z/OS can be configured to block slow or fast scans using the IDS
