z/OS V1R8 Thruput Manager
If you are going over to z/OS V1R8 and run MVS Solutions Thruput Manager I would wait until the smoke clears on recent JES2 abends which IBM seems to think are caused by the Thruput Manager product. I will keep you posted. If you are running it and are not having problems, I would appreciate a heads-up on your situation.

I have 1.8 up now in my sandbox and am just starting to work on the new JES2 exits. A coworker also just started working with the new version of TM (we are 5.2 in production under z/OS 1.6). At the very least I will make sure he keeps in contact with the vendor regularly to put on fixes prior to z/OS 1.8 implementation on any development / production LPAR.

Re: z/OS V1R8 Thruput Manager
Hi Jim, Thanks for the heads up. We are running fine on z/OS R7. We are just ordering z/OS R8 next week and upgrading Thruput Manager from V6R1.1 AT PTF TMT6110 to V6R1.2 at the most current PTF level we understand to be TMT6115 but will be at least TMT6114. It will be a few weeks before we have R8 running. What level of Thruput Manager are you running on R8?
