Re: Smartbatch for OS/390 vs Batchpipes OS/390
I don't remember all the specifics but initially IBM offered Batchpipes as a standalone product. It was later merged into the Smartbatch product which was a combination of Batchpipes with some automatic buffering and parallel processing tools. Then after a few years, Smartbatch was withdrawn and but the Batchpipes component was again offered by itself. I believe Batchpipes is still supported.

Re: Smartbatch for OS/390 vs Batchpipes OS/390
Making PIPES an automatically entitled part of the base z/OS product would allow users and vendors to build function that depends on it and add a great deal of value to z/OS as a platform. I remember how excited I was when I stumbled on one of the "Plumber's" sessions at SHARE years ago and how quickly that excitement faded when I realized the hurdles I felt I could not overcome to get it acquired.

Re: Smartbatch for OS/390 vs Batchpipes OS/390
Interesting... after a few false starts I actually got this working. Had to change ICEGENER to IEBGENER (ICEGENER was getting a RC=12) and use a different PATH, but it works as advertised.But does this buy you anything? Looks like it's just routing the data through a USS file although I suppose with a large file you could have two jobs running concurrently and cut down on total elapsed time. - Original Message - From: "McKown, John" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: bit.listserv.ibm-main To: Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2007 11:59 AM Subject: Re: Smartbatch for OS/390 vs Batchpipes OS/390 I don't know anything about the PIPES being discussed here.
