EDGRRPTR missing after zOS 1.13
Hello Is there an equivalent of EDGRRPTR after zOS 1.13 ? As I don't find this dataset in SYS1.SEDGEXE1. Any suggestions would be appreciated Jake -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
Re: OT: using ultrawide monitor?
Many thanks to all for the feedback. I'll keep the 43 in. Now what I need is a widescreen to hook up to my PS4 just for gaming. I share the 43 inch between Windows & PS4 now. Actually, my primary PC monitor is a 27 inch monitor connected via DisplayPort. But I use the 43 as a secondary for TSO & ISPF. The 27inch I use to keep my two work email accounts on, in a side-by-side arrangement. Works pretty well. That way I can monitor z/OS & have my email easily visible. I'm a bit constrained on room right now. And I'm too lazy to rearrange the monitors because I'm "dead" (being let go) in about 4 months anyway.

Re: OT: using ultrawide monitor?
I'm using a 43" 4K TV monitor in lieu of the curved wide-screen displays (cheaper). However, when I was working in my client's offices, I had access to an ultra-wide curved display. But as for 3270 and ISPF, you are limited to 160 wide by 62 deep for TSO/ISPF if I remember correctly. However, I also run that config for CMS displays (a bit less than what CMS/CP supports) because I can't configure Host On Demand (HOD), as it is pre-done and I get to live with what the client provides. I hope this helps you. Regards, Steve Thompson --- john.archie.mck...@gmail.com wrote: From: John McKown To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: [IBM-MAIN] OT: using ultrawide monitor?

Re: AWS down again.
DFSMShsm Migrate/Recall and DFSMSdss use the DS8000 to offload data directly to cloud object storage. S3 compliant object stores, including AWS, are supported. When the object store is unavailable for any reason, you'll get user friendly messages from HSM/DSS that indicate the specific error being returned by the object store provider. For HSM automatic migration, any data sets that failed to migrate will be reattempted the next day. The big concern with the unavailability is retrieving your data, which is not possible when the object store is unavailable. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

I like REXX, but the choice of a comma as a continuation characters is a booby trap for the unwary.

Re: System Boost Question
Great questionIBM's answer is that System Recovery Boost is for the whole system restart (IPL) and not for just a subsystem while the rest of the lpar keeps running normally. You activate the shutdown boost by starting IEASDBS (shut down boost start) and this causes WLM to stop scheduling work in that lpar along with other preparations for shutdown. You can stop shutdown boost before shutdown is complete but WLM will not resume scheduling work into that lpar. The expectation is that an IPL will be done to clear it. It would seem unsuitable for your use case of recycling CICS without IPL. Note that IBM also has a separate feature called "System Recovery Boost Upgrade" which is unrelated to "System Recovery Boost" ... it is more like CUoD. That is a paid feature and gives a 6 hour boost in processing speed. That might be suitable for your use case -- check with IBM -- but the cost will be high.

System Boost Question
We are to take delivery of a z15-t02. I have a question about system boost. A few months ago, as part of upgrading CICS, we shut down all of our CICS regions in order to upgrade the CICS SVC. We are running z/OS v2.3 Could we use SYSTEM boost to make the process of shutting down the CICS region and restarting them? Would it be 'legal'?
