I know that is vague. What has happened is that somebody with political clout is strongly pushing the idea that having two separate z/OS images on a single CEC (separate LPARs of course) would be "better" than having a single z/OS system. They have not defined "better". We have not decided on how to implement this. I know of three possibilities, in my order of desirability: (1) Parallel Sysplex; (2) basic sysplex; (3) separate monoplexes.
Is there anything that documents, in a single place, what CANNOT be done in the various environments? As an example, a JES2 MAS requires at least a basic sysplex. If we go to separate monoplexes, then the JES2s could only communicate via NJE. Is there ANYTHING that I can do in a single image that I cannot do in a parallel sysplex (other than share memory, VTAM LU names, and IP addresses)? Many thanks from a rather upset sysprog. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
