SQA shortage after z/OS 2.4

Hello Recently we upgraded our z/OS to 2.4 from 2.2. Post that we had an outage due to SQA shortage (s878). The SQA value we have set is 5,80. Is there any benchmark or any way to analyse to understand on what would the Apt or a value which satisfies the overall operating system usage ? Peter

Just to clarify on my earlier comments. The wealth of choices for installations is not necessarily 'bad' just potentially loaded with dead ends. I think we have all seen big 'initiatives' from IBM that were later 'withdrawn from marketing' because they just never caught on. All the

While z/OSMF may be a step backward in some regards, that does not mean that all new tools are bad. I for one am not about to complain that IMAPTFLE is gone; SMP is far better. Tools like Docker are already part of the ecosystem, and it behooves IBM to acknowledge them. I just wish that they

SDSF uses IAZXJSAB to extract the userid from the JSAB control block - hence nothing shown if address space has started SUB=MSTR and has not requested a JES JOBID (SSI-20). As far as I am aware, there is no definitive field in common storage that contains the userid associated with an address
