Is anyone exploiting ZEDC data compression
yet. And when they do, often times
they do not compress the data first (which makes cache usage increase since the

Open a Broadcom support ticket and we will get you a new EARL report that is

written by the application and the size as stored in cache (after IDRC

BTW: I *love* zEDC for PS data.
I've been using it on z13, z14 and now on z15.

John,
But what happens if the virtual tape environment itself was over-written? That
is where the concept of "virtual WORM" devices can help. A virtual WORM volume
cannot be over-written. And if your tape management system itself is protected,
the tapes will not be scratched until they should
ords, WHO is running TMSINIT as a started task.
If the SECWTO option is set to NO, we won't ask and will simply allow anyone
to run TMSINIT at any time (not exactly a secure way of running, but that is
an option).

FDR account for the majority of tape usage there are other uses as well. I have

My 2-cents; can you imagine if you had to hard-code all user-catalog's into the

Arthur is correct. Back at my JCP days, that is one reason they broke the

the exits and any assembler user-mods or in-house applications; the SMP jockeys
that applied IBM maintenance and also tested the assembler

Yes, with that in mind you are correct. Of course, the whole business with DASD
files is that there IS a backup on TAPE. So, if you have special files that
you also want protected and move them to TAPE as the primary media, does that
mean that the backup requirement is gone? If it
