Utilization of Crypto CPU

2014-01-28 Thread Elardus Engelbrecht
Good day Where can I see how much the Crypto CPU is used? This is for CP Assist for Cryptographic Function (Feature 3863) on a zEC12. Is it possible to see usage per LPAR or per footprint? Can I see how much data are transferred to/from that CPU? Oh, BTW, we can do a TCP/IP packet trace to

Elardus, in at least one of the shops I worked, the RMF records were split off into a separate GDG for easier file management. Is that the case in your house? Cheers,,,Steve Steven F. Conway, CISSP LA Systems z/OS Systems Support Phone: 703.295.1926 steve_con...@ao.uscourts.gov From:

The semi-colon ';' is invalid in JCL, (always has been). It should have been a period. '.' Thus amp;amp is invalid. snip By experiment, what you say is true. I'm considerably surprised. So, then, why do I get: 8 //DDFOUR DD DISP=(,PASS),DSN=amp;amp;FOUR,UNIT=SYSALLDA,SPACE=(1,0)

Paul [Gilmartin], The anomaly that both dsn value and dsn value are recognized reflects the historical evolution of JCL. In the beginning was the word, but single JCL parameter values were not replaceable. It was necessary to supply an entire 'overriding' JCL statement. The [only] function
