Decommissioning is entirely between your CE and your site. Ask your CE if he/she has other ways to obtain hardware error information instead of this old application. If so (and probably) then he/she will probably not care. And you'll save a little electrical power, too!

We had one of these things connected to our z/OS system, and now that my memory has been "freshened", I used to SENDFILE the VM EREP data to a TSO userid on a separate z/OS system which was logged on by a similar PC to read it and append to the file created by z/OS. The CE had a somewhat pictorial view, and error records for "problem" hardware.
