Re: Z14 IOCP and USB

I had similar experience with z196. Used IND$FILE to download to USB. Not only could HMC not process the last byte in the file, it screwed things up so badly that I had to reboot it! As Doug says, it's easy to fix. Even plain old Notepad works. Just don't leave that last byte hanging there.

Re: Z14 IOCP and USB

Crispin, No z14 here either but on EC12 I found that you could not have CRLF as end of line in the USB file, had to have only LF. I used Notepad++ to change CRLF to LF. Just my 2 cents. Best Regards, Doug .. On Nov 2, 2017, at 16:34, Rob Schramm wrote: Yea..

Re: Db2! was: NODE.js for z/OS

Martin, Yes, but I think that virtual storage limitations drove some of the function separation. For example the tablespace and index VSAM clusters are allocated in the DBM1, but the log datasets are allocated by the MSTR. Doing that protects from a DB2 deadlock caused by a failure to allocate

Re: Db2! was: NODE.js for z/OS

I think you mean that IBM recycled the lock manager of IMS into Db2. Also I think the driver for the multiple address spaces was that DB2 originally was written to run on MVS/370 so it had to pack a lot into the 8-10 Meg virtual that many installations had available. And even once XA was

Re: SMF Dump Exit - IEFU29

Sometimes the SMF datasets will switch during shutdown or IPL and the exit does not catch the fact. I cobbled a program that gets run as part of IPL to examine SMF control blocks and issue dump commands for the datasets that need to be dumped.

I don't think the number of address spaces in a subsystem matters too much. What's eating me, though, is the numbers of Db2 subsystems. Recent "social circle" includes 135, 80, and several at 50+. I suppose, though, the multiplier - MSTR+IRLM+DIST+DBM1+optionals x #subsystems - is the killer.
