Summary of Key Functions in z/OS V2.1 http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/tips1217.html?Open
DFSMS Technical updates. http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/Redbooks.nsf/RedbookAbstracts/sg248190.html?Open What grabbed my eye in this was a new PDSE version. If you create a PDSE as a version 2 PDSE, then you can retain "old" generations of a PDSE member and retrieve them by relative or absolute generation number. Shades of PANVALET and Librarian which kept "archive levels". Or, IIRC, how VMS kept files with "version numbers" in them akin to GDGs. New version of the zFS UNIX filesystem. I don't recall all the pluses, but it is supposed to be faster for directory operations. Comes with a "convert in place" operation via the UNIX command: zfsadm convert which can set up the aggregate for the new function. And then set up each directory, individually, to be converted. -- The temperature of the aqueous content of an unremittingly ogled culinary vessel will not achieve 100 degrees on the Celsius scale.
