I think its very foolish. If they are going to work on a platform they should make an attempt to learn and understand the platform. Ask Yourself this Why is it tha a Mainframe person can adapt to other platforms (unix, linix,Windows) but the other platforms cant seem to understand the mainframe. And Yes John it does get tireing
That my 2 cents "McKown, John" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU> 01/28/2008 04:17 PM Please respond to IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU> To IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU cc Subject Dumb idea - pandering to the "other systems" people? This has not come up yet. But I've been working with an IT person who is, well, not very knowledgable. Especially about z/OS. So, what has occurred to me is to try to talk to them more in their "native tongue". They are used to talking about "services". In Linux (at least Fedora), there is a "service" command which basically looks like "service ... start" and "service ... stop" as well as other. In addition, our NOC personnel are not very z/OS literate either (in general - some are pretty good, others absymal). So, should I use CA-OPS/MVS to create a "service" command which will start or stop selected "services"? Basically change a "service srv start" to a "S SRV" and a "service srv stop" to a "P SRV" (or whatever the appropriate method is to stop the "service")? This might end up just plain easier than trying to teach them "the right way". Is this wise or foolish? I'm so tired at times. -- 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.
