Re: How long for an experiened z/OS sysprog to come up to speed on a new environment?

I would allow a day to get physical access organised, and userid set up. Setting up a new sysplex. is the piece of string. There is a big difference between "getting it ipled", to "ready for users." This involves setting up /copying RACF profiles, setting up SMS rules, backup procedures etc The

Re: [External] : Flashcopy dataset example

thank you for your response. But I was looking for copying by dataset name to a created backup dataset. Also, to be able to specify a list of datasets to one backup dataset. We used to do this with EMCSNAP. But we have moved from EMC dasd to IBM. thanks Bill

My article is used with MQ ( and DB2) pages sets where backups are taken while the pagesets are in use ( so called fuzzy backup) To recover a page set, you restore the backup and restart DB2/MQ and they read the logs and update the page sets. On Fri, 17 Feb 2023 at 17:21, Bill Giannelli wrote:

Bill, A couple questions back. Do you have DFDSS/DFSMS-dss/ADRDSSU? Are you licensed on your DS8K for flashcopy? Is the target disk volume involved in a PPRC replication scheme (global mirror or the like) with a secondary array? If you answer yes to the first 2 questions and no to the

BSAM Read 31 bit mode

Hi I see this documentation from IBM Addressing mode: When you issue the READ macro in 24-bit mode, provide only 24-bit addresses unless you code SF64 or SF64P. When you issue the READ macro in 31-bit addressing mode, provide only 31-bit addresses unless documentation says otherwise or you

Re: Missing Values For The 'SDSF DA' Panels - z/OS 2.5

Sorry I am late to the game with this one. First time I've had a breather to look at IBM-MAIN all of February. I suggest stopping / starting SDSF (which will stop/start SDSFAUX also) and that may resolve the problem. I ran into similar issues with both RMF and CMF when working on z/OS 2.5.

Wow! I think I'm pretty good and I would never say "1 day". Even back when I was consulting full time at different small-ish clients it normally took a few days to get into the groove and figure out the local environment. And that's with bringing all my own tools to help figure things out

Thanks for the input. I raised the question because the outsourcer who would do this work said adding more staff would not help because it would take up to 6 months to know the environment. This seemed excessive to me. I would think the string is about 1 day to maybe 2 months long. Even the

I just got a chuckle from a TEKsystems recruiter. She caught me at lunch with my daughter, so I said I'd give her a minute or two just to tell me what she needed and then we'd have to finish later. Oh, she said, no problem, she's looking for someone to help with an ACF2-to-RACF migration, but

That's about what I would say too - at least a month. Of course it's easy to figure out things like TMS vs. RMM, RACF vs. TSS, etc. and the different naming conventions, install methods, and where's the CSI. But what about the overall view, like how do they do their DR tests, what prod

With all due respect, and I do have great respect for you Brian, you do have a great deal of experience in this kind of work. So, a day or so after you get access (and I assume you've acquired a number of tools) it is entirely possible that you would be up to speed. I do agree with you that the
