Re: Creating new SMS environment in a monoplex

There is regularly confusion about the term Plex and Sysplex. There a many Plexes: JESPLEX (MAS) GRSPLEX MIMPLEX SMSPLEX SAPLEX and SA-SUBPLEX IMSPLEX DB2PLEX CICSPLEX Etc. And there is: SYSPLEX. Sysplex is often used when one of the others are meant: a SYSPLEX consists of the systems controlled

Check you ACS routines. Most Installations have a "escape clause" that allows the ACS rotuines to be overridden. Otherwise, use dfDSS. COPY DSN(.) NSC NMC BYPASSACS(**) HTH, -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Gadi Ben-Avi Sent: Sunday, May 24, 2020

Skip, In the past I implemented STK tapes, the largest tape system in Poland at the time. Interesting job. :-) It seems, you shared control datasets between datacenters. Assuming your second datacenter is for disaster recovery, you had single point of failure. Catalog is not important there,

I would describe that as a failure of the panel; ALLOCATE is correctly processing the input it receives. How about an RFE for all panels that uppercase their command line to include an annotation that they do so or to display the translated input. As for concatenating classical datasets with

I think there is no important difference between moving VOLCAT and moving regular VSAM file. For VSAM I would use ADRDSSU with RESTORE IMPORT NMC NSC. BTW: I have system clones available on demand. You want clone of whole system - voila. I love it! Almost all possible operations can be tested

GTF and SLIP vs. 64-bit execution

2020-05-25 Thread Gord Tomlin
We recently had the need to use GTF to collect SLIP IF, SVC, USR and PI events to help diagnose a PIC 38 program check where the address to be resolved was above the bar. Unfortunately, the trace was of almost no use in diagnosis due to the more or less complete lack of 64-bit support in the

What did you specify for TRDATA on the START GTF command? BTW, does CT give you 64-bit registers? -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz http://mason.gmu.edu/~smetz3 From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] on behalf of Gord Tomlin
