FW: IBM RFE's Broken

2021-11-26 Thread Lionel B. Dyck
It appears that the IBM Developerworks RFE portal is being migrated to something new. During this migration, the old RFE portal is useless, and the new portal is also useless.  I tried to vote on an RFE that I was notified about 2 days ago and found the link is broken. I went to the RFE portal and

I'd already seen it. It does not contradict my statement at all. Shmuel also mentioned this in passing. sas On Fri, Nov 26, 2021 at 12:04 PM Joe Monk wrote: > "As I understand it... a type 1 or 6 SVC cannot SUSPEND, WAIT, or PAUSE > synchronously at all. If they need to finish something

If you display the information for z/OS UNIX processes running in these address spaces, you can see the specific program (command) that is running in them. Options: - Under SDSF you can use the "PS" panel to see running processes for OWNER OMVSKERN. The "CMD" field shows you what program is

As I understand it... a type 1 or 6 SVC cannot SUSPEND, WAIT, or PAUSE synchronously at all. If they need to finish something later, they schedule it and quit. The differences between type 1 and 6 (and the others) are discussed in the MVS Auth Service Guide. sas On Fri, Nov 26, 2021 at 9:23 AM

The devil is in the details. There is a discussion in authorized services. Briefly, for a type 1 SVC, you suspend the current RB, schedule an SRB or whatever, and ultimately exit normally. When you exit, the suspension takes effect. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz http://mason.gmu.edu/~smetz3

Thanks, Seymour, for the info about type-6s. WRT GUPI, like most other ISVs, I use them when I can, and accept the occasional recoding obligations when I can't. My real question is... What happens when a type-1 SVC SUSPENDs? (Or for that matter, when any other locked or disabled environment

MVS used to store the registers in the TCB, but that's not GUPI, so even if z/OS still does there's no guaranty that a later release won't break it. Type 6 runs disabled out of the SVCFLIH and can't hold locks. From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List on
