I used a B6700 at University and I became a fan of WFL, Algol, DCAlgol and Espol (student). In fact I wrote a parser for a Linear Programming language using Algol. I actually designed the language using BNF and parsed the statements that way. The only alternatives I have found to Algol (Burroughs

Remote access to Z14 ZR1 Support Element via HMC question

2019-03-20 Thread Laurence Chiu
This is the situation We are replacing our zBC12 with a Z14 ZR1 which is DR machine. It will connect to the same SAN as the zBC12 and we want to run the same LPAR configuration and of course the same IOCDS. Our support folks are trying to do the work remotely(externally) and are getting stuck

Question about batch programs using EXCI in a parallel Sysplex

We do something similar except because our locations are only 80km apart we can run Metro Mirror. To do DR we flash to tertiary volumes using a small Z LPAR but looking at changing that to using CSM with practice volumes as per this video from the Washington Systems Center.

We ordered our ZR1 with 96G of memory since that was recommended based on our planned usage and growth. Not sure how much was the memory component but small in terms of the other components. On Tue, Feb 26, 2019, 8:32 AM Michael Babcock wrote: > When we ordered our ZR1 we still had to specify
