Re: IBM Developerworks is gone!

[David Crayford]

I totally agree!

I don't like HTML very much but I do like markdown which is why I love 
modern static website builders like hugo https://gohugo.io/.

I've been making help-style web pages since about 2000, when my 5-year 
old daughter pushed me to learn a bit about html.  A small group of us 
started a web server running on MVS at work, creating MVS doc web 
pages with things like JCL examples, etc. that we as sysprogs could 
point users to rather than explain the same information again and again.


I always thought web pages were best for doc for various reasons such 
as: there is only one copy, they are read-only to the users, they can 
link to other things, and importantly, people can bookmark an index or 
a detail page as needed.


I got into various arguments with managers over the years about not 
being consistent with the rest of the company in either platform or 
style, and even chastised for having some "fun" web pages.  In most 
cases ignored their orders (i.e. "I'll do it, I'm working on it") to 
move everything to company standards and servers.


I'm not sure if the developer.ibm.com issue is anything at all like I 
went through, but it just riles me up when I hear about perfectly good 
web sites being cleaned up, moved, removed, etc. possibly to satisfy a 
manager who didn't like the look and feel or maybe the site 
organization (which was all working fine before they looked).


So since I'm riled now and it's a beautiful sunset in California, I'm 
going to walk the dog and never speak of this again :)

– the creators of that FAQ weren’t even kind enough to create hot

all that difficult people!) The FAQ said that owners of content on 
DeveloperWorks could move their content to other locations by the end 
of March. This is assuming that they were still employed by IBM and 
had the time to move the content. Of course, IBM could not provide 
them with the original content.



We had posted almost 100 links in our Tuning Letter to useful 
material on DeveloperWorks and now none of them work. It will take 
time, but I hope to go through all of our links and reach out to the 
authors to find where they are now posting items.



So I went to the new website - https://www.ibm.com/community/, signed 
up, and started looking at it. With the optional portals listed in 
the FAQ and this new community website, it just seems like IBM wants 
to remove as much technical information as possible and replace it 
with marketing. If anyone knows how to search the new community 
website, please let me know. If I’m not ready to buy a product, the 
community is not doing anything for me.



P.S. – Aled – thanks for your post. I have always had the highest

Still a little bitter about the deletions…

Hi all,


Remember when IBM went through and deleted from their websites what 
they considered "old" manuals and documentation? Well, they just did 
it again! They've removed all the DeveloperWorks articles that have 
provided such excellent information since its creation. And these 
aren't just OLD articles. Even a link from three months ago is gone. 
All references to DeveloperWorks are now directed to a nothing site. 
The DeveloperWorks website contained amazing articles from some of 
the top developers in their fields, many of whom are no longer still 
working at IBM. We understand that IBM "furloughed" them, but they 
don't have to furlough their ideas.



I'm pleading with all of you who work for a large IBM customer to ask 
your management to tell IBM to stop this idiotic practice. There is 
NO reason to delete valuable information.



If this is due to marketing wanting a new image, then they have no 
idea what image they're creating.



Please do this for all of us!

Re: Using Windows ssh with z/OS

[Michael Babcock]

The .inputrc doesn't seem to work for me.

I have this in my .inputrc: "\e[3~": delete-char but the delete key is

Yah, but I wished it had presumed something minimal such as TTY33

can't login without correct TERMINFO; can't set TERMINFO without
logging in.

And I once had an esoteric terminal for which the developer supplied
a .terminfo source file.  With octal escape sequences.  I compiled it
with /bin/tic.  Guess why it didn't work.

CustomPac Dialog - Merge

[MARTIN, MIKE]

Hi all,

We are creating a work configuration in the CustomPac dialogs for our z/OS 2.4 
ServerPac.  We performed a merge from our 2.2 install and then made it through 
the 2.4 Variable and Zone panels.  Everything seemed fine.

We plan on preforming the Automatic Data Set Assignment, but poking around in 
the Logical Volume panel first, I noticed that there are no physical volumes 
associated with the RES logicals.
Maybe that's okay, since we haven't done the CReate yet?   (The MERGE report 
seems okay - showing SHPVOL of CPPRB1 for SYS1.NUCLEUS and SYS1.LINKLIB, for 
example)

What really bothers me though, is the fact that the "SUMMARY Of Physical 
Volumes" shows our (intended) IPL/RES pack CPPRB1 as SMS... (and I can't figure 
out how to fix it there).

PVolume/ Seq Device Device
STORCLAS No. Number Type
 --- -- ---
CPP   SMS   3390-9
CPPB245238  3390-9
CPPRB1SMS   3390-9

Any suggestions for getting our physical RES - to not be SMS in the Physical 
Volumes?

Re: CustomPac Dialog - Merge

[Mike Martin]

Thanks Mike,

That was a good idea (although I think this problem has something to do with 
the dialog internals)

But I ran your suggestion with the "TEST" keyword and got...

ADR876E (001)-KVNON(01), VOLUME CPPRB1 IS NOT IN INITIAL OR CONVERTED STATUS.

So, that looks good.   (CPPRB1 is already non-SMS)
