The box isn't maxed out, but it's pretty close. It's a base z13s and no money to upgrade it. The cards are a cheap way to get by (they are under $400 with $0 increase in maintenance costs), whereas the cost of a CF is far greater. We can't use the software CF option (build a CF lpar without a

No Jesse, I explained userid translation between HMC and SE. However this translation has no relationship to object locking. Magic "SooSysprog" is not magic and does not play any important role in multiple access. An access to SE or CPC is controlled by mechanism similar to GRS, simply anothe

Yes, "ABEND S222" was shorthand. > What exactly are you "looking at"? I am looking at my report (or rather, an image of the output of my report program, as displayed on a 3270 emulator). I posted my code that generates the field in the report. Yes, I know from experimentation (totally unrelated

A coupling facility using a share CP processor only needs a few percent of the processor dedicated. If you are maxed out on CPU and can't tolerate a slight slowdown at peak times, then one step up to the next MSU setting should be enough. On Sun, May 31, 2020 at 7:05 AM Brian Westerman wrote: >

Re: GDG relative number updates

Take another look: I wrote foo(bar). Neither foo nor bar is goovoo; foo is the base name and bar is the *relative* generation. If you specify "goovoo(-1), (+1), (0), etc" in your JCL the job will fail on a JCL error. Again, gooovoo is part of the name that Allocation constructs, *not* what you

Brian, you really don't need more FICON cards then 2 to support CTC connections between lpars. It all comes down to how much redundancy you want. We support connections between 11 lpars on one CEC with just 2 cards. We use one card as what we call the primary connection and one card we call t

Hi Brian, When building a sysplex using CTC's, each LPAR mist have connectivity to all of the other LPARS. If you have more than two LPARS, it gets complicated very fast. I've always had to get help from IBM for defining the CTC's in HCD. Once you have to connectivity defined, the rest is fairl

Hi, I'm looking for information on how to set up a base SYSPLEX with only Ficon CTC's that seem to be referred to as XCF CTC's. I'm sure someone had done this before and is probably doing it now for Multiple LPARs that are running on the same processor CEC. Configuration help (parms etc.) wou
