Only the top RB of a task is active; no work can be performed for the older RBs until the older TB goes away or an SVC rearranges the chain, which I believe that only one SVC ever did. When the RB goes into a wait state, the task can only be dispatched after a POST or adding an asynchronous RB,

Re: Question on Wait macro

2019-04-01 Thread Seymour J Metz
The task will only be dispatched if the top RB is active. So unless someone schedules, e.g., an IRB, the task will be inactive until the RB is active. Nit: in MVS the word "suspend" has a technical meaning that doesn't apply here. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz http://mason.gmu.edu/~smetz3

Well, the earlier RBs are already suspended. The unsatisfied WAIT places the task in the non-dispatchable status. It is possible to add an IRB to the task and the task would be dispatchable and the IRB would run. On Mon, 1 Apr 2019 09:07:18 -0400 Joseph Reichman wrote: :>It’s nothing in my

We do it precisely for that reason. With old spinny drives, when one requires replacing, we used to have to have arrangements with vendors to keep the removed drives for shredding. With solid state storage, such an arrangement would be prohibitively expensive, but if its encrypted its no
