Piping for z/OS

2023-01-06 Thread Hobart Spitz
zPipe is a piping facility for z/OS.  It's available on CBT Tape file1035
on the updates page.

https://www.cbttape.org/updates.htm


The CBT file contains fuller code and more modules than in the presentation
below.

Here is the presentation about it.

Q: What do you call the residence of the ungulate with the largest antlers?
A: A moose pad.
:-D
Would you rather pass data in move mode (*nix piping) or locate mode
(Pipes) or via disk (JCL)?  Why do you think you rarely see *nix commands
with more than a dozen filters, while Pipelines specifications are commonly
over 100s of stages, and 1000s of stages are not uncommon.
REXX is the new C.

For APARS, PTFS, and RSUs after Jan 1, 2023 is zOSMF mandatory


z/OSMF Software Update does not handle RECEIVE or ACCEPT of service -- 
only APPLY.  And, even that is optional...

Not to order, but to install any kind of ServerPac, you have to use a zOSMF
Serverpac in PSI format (portable software instance), and installation can
only be done via z/OSMF

Re: ZFS Address Space, shared ENQ but filesystem isn't mounted

2023-01-06 Thread kekronbekron
Personally, I was hoping there'd be more benefit, rather than just the zOSMF 
startup time.
Was hoping OMVS STC itself would show reduced MSU somehow (than OMVS + zFS as 
it were).
Or at least a significant EXCP drop.
