As many of you know, we have been working with JES3 for decades, so it's a perfect fit for us. As a customer focused company, we really listen to what our customers tell us. They asked for this, so we stepped up the plate. We licensed JES3 from IBM for the purpose of extending its life indefinitely. Our initial product release (planned for GA March 2020) will be functionally equivalent to z/OS 2.4 JES3, but unlike IBM we intend to support back-level BCPs (probably z/OS 2.2 and higher since JES3 has not been enhanced by IBM one iota since that time). So we will be looking for early support customers as soon as we have something packaged, tested, and ready to ship -- perhaps January... We will begin to functionally enhance JES3 starting with the 2nd release and, unlike IBM, we plan annual releases just like the rest of our products. We'll probably re-sync on a September release schedule in 2020 or 2021 to ensure we're positioned to offer Day #1 support of new z/OS releases as they are released. It's not every day someone acquires a core z/OS component from IBM (has that EVER happened?) so you can be sure we will treat it with the respect it deserves.

Stand alone dumps didn't find the root cause other than we new it was RPB pool growth related to SVC dumps from CICS. In one case a single SVC dump caused an 80M ESQA spike within one or two seconds crashed a system when it spilled into ECSA and also filled up ECSA (typically at about 70% use, but "stable"). We worked with IBM all summer on this. We had different SLIPs and GTF traces put in place, but with the traces going the problem never happen. But SVC dump processing did take over the CPU with the trace + GTF active! :-) Meanwhile, we increased ESQA on 30 LPARs via normal IPLs over the summer by about 80M and ECSA a bit as a "work around". Settings that haven't been touched in god knows how long (certainly not since 64-bit usage has increased and HVCOMMON). So we had to loose about 100M of high private to do this. We also increased real storage on a couple of LPARs that really didn't warrant it (based on zero or close to zero demand paging during normal operations), but we knew real storage was also involved in the problem (no flash memory for SVC dumps on my client's mainframes).
