I've never seen the term "Plug Compatible Mainframe"; it looks like a backronym by someone who had never seen the beast. PCM is Plug Compatible Manufacturer, which is why the term was applied to, e.g., terminals. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz http://mason.gmu.edu/~smetz3

Had I seen the term hybrid mainframe out of context then I would have taken it as ZBX, but I assume that Greg meant a small system compatible with a mainframe, e.g., P/390, PDT. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz http://mason.gmu.edu/~smetz3 From: IBM

Re: Mainframe t-shirt store

Got it, thanks. At first I was thinking zBX too, but that wasn't available 30 years ago. Then thought maybe AS/400, which people (not me) sometimes call Mainframes. Now I'm trying to remember if I ever threw one of my old x86 boxes out the window. Probably out the door, but not a window.

This is usually due to Websphere scanning the dropins folder for updates. z/OS doesn't have edge triggered kernel hooks like inotify on Linux so has to use brute force. It's not just I/O it consumes a lot of CPU. You can disable it in server.xml locationMonitoringEnabled="false"

There can be many. There really is no way to know precisely at a given instance because you could scan the TCBs in an address space and check their dispatch flags, but that could change from under you at any instant. Tom Harper Sent from my iPhone > On May 14, 2021, at 9:21 AM, Joseph
