AFAIK, There is one set per sysplex, just like all the other CF control datasets. We've been setup that for 10 years, and no problems. Now, you can define separate sets of RLS buffers in the CF to separate Catalogs, from application VSAM datasets.

Re: JZOS Java CLASSPATH

Composing the classpath via for loop in STDENV DD is a script run by /bin/sh and therefore the term "${APP_HOME}"/*.jar is implicitly evaluated to the correct file names by the shell. In contrast, just giving the classpath as a variable value does not evaluate to the files referenced by "*". It

Re: Vendor Licensing Frustrations

You are right. That was what one vendor's emergency keys were for, they could be activated on any DR CPU, albeit for a limited period iirc. Kees. > -Original Message- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On > Behalf Of Mike Schwab > Sent: 26 April,

Re: Issue with SK4T-4949-13 - IBM Online Library: z/OS V2R2 Collection, March 2017

Unfortunately, this is now working-as-designed as announced in an RFA and at Share. sk4t-4949 (the CKIT or collection kit) was sunset in 4Q16 for z/OS and the individual PKITs for z/OS will be sunset in 3Q17. If you want PDFs, your best replacement is: sc27-8430 which is an Adobe Indexed

Re: JZOS Java CLASSPATH

Hi Andrew, your understanding is not correct. Wildcards do not and have never worked with CLASSPATH. Hope it helps. Denis. -Original Message- From: Andrew Rowley To: IBM-MAIN Sent: Wed, Apr 26, 2017 1:04 pm Subject: JZOS

JZOS Java CLASSPATH

The JCL supplied with the JZOS batch launcher has a section to add jars to the classpath: # Add Application required jars to end of CLASSPATH for i in "${APP_HOME}"/*.jar; do CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH":"$i" done My understanding is you should be able to use a wildcard instead and the JVM

Set up SHCDS datasets in RLS enviroment

Issue with SK4T-4949-13 - IBM Online Library: z/OS V2R2 Collection, March 2017

Greetings all, In the past, the SK4T-4949 online library could be downloaded as a single zip file with manuals for all the z/OS components in one set. Not so with this newest release -13. It appears you now have to download the manuals for each and every component individually. This is horribly

Re: Vendor Licensing Frustrations

If you know the DR center's CPU ids or can use z/VM to reuse your licensed IDs, you are OK. If you are going to a vendor's site and don't know the CPU ids and can't use z/VM or the product uses the real CPU id instead of the z/VM CPU id you can be in trouble. On Wed, Apr 26, 2017 at 3:22 AM,

Re: Can XLC printf() take "%D(*,*)"?

Since it is the last character that is blanked, does it need a trailing space for a trailing sign? On Tue, Apr 25, 2017 at 6:07 PM, Charles Mills wrote: > Hmmm. Thanks. Link certainly seems relevant. (Interesting -- the page that > opens is some weird VM-z/OS hybrid: z/VM z/VM

Re: Vendor Licensing Frustrations

During a DR test you test your DR scenario, so the test must work exactly like the real one. When we had this DR scenario/configuration, we always had working keys or emergency keys for the DR site. Kees. > -Original Message- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List

Re: Vendor Licensing Frustrations

Classification: Public If you DON'T have the keys for DR, then it makes a mockery of any DR capability you think you have. In a real DR situation, you can't plan, you need it all working there and then. Andy Styles z/Series Systems Programmer -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe

Re: Vendor Licensing Frustrations

Ideally I would like to have keys for DR on an ongoing basis to avoid the delays that Lionel mentions. Dan > On Apr 26, 2017, at 05:30, Timothy Sipples wrote: > > Lionel Dyck wrote: >> I've been working on DR planning for one of our locations and out >> of 15 non-IBM
