Re: z/OS 1.10 Enhancement: Predictive Failure Analysis

2009-04-16 Thread Karla Arndt
Where are you seeing two versions?  Please let me know so that we can clean
that up.  

Also, the correct spot in the book is Part 2 instead of Chapter 2.  My
apologies for that error.

Here are direct links to the book:

PDF: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/e0z1k122.pdf

BookManager:

Thanks.

That was the source of my concern - I withdraw my allegation ... :p

M - it would appear there are (at least) two versions of the -04 (I
use pdfs).
An update to the dash level would be (more) sensible.

 From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Brian Peterson
 
 In case you missed this, IBM has just released a new function for z/OS
1.10
 called Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) which is now available.
 
 http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/WP101454
 
 This new feature is built upon the z/OS Health Checker infrastructure,
and
 is apparently the basis for future new capabilities.  Quoting from the
 above, PFA will be extended over time..
 
 The feature is available in the PTFs for APAR OA27165.

Predictive Failure Analysis is supported on z/OS 1.10 and later
releases and requires:
* IBM SDK for z/OS, Java 2 Technology Edition, V1.4

... but it doesn't say, or later.  According to IBM's Java web pages,
the SDK 1.4 level had its final refresh in Sept. 2008.

Thanks for the interest.  PFA requires Java 1.4 or later.  The white paper
that stated 1.4 is required has been corrected.

The official PFA documentation can be found in chapter 2 of the z/OS Problem
Management Guide G325-2564-04.

2009-04-14 Thread Schwarz, Barry A
One of us is badly misremembering the movie.  As I recall, HAL was
deliberately fed incorrect information and the resulting problems were
caused by his (or his software's) inability to deal with the
inconsistency.

At the risk of straying way off topic, in the 2010 sequel HAL's
behavior
was well explained: HAL had evil programmers, quite simply. The crew's
government superiors instructed HAL, among other things, to lie to the
crew. And HAL did exactly as he was told, perfectly.

In the movie 2001, remember how well HAL's PFA worked!
