HLASM Toolkit supplies the (renamed) ISPF ISRSUPC at lower cost.

MVS ISRSUPC supports the UPDCMS8 option to produce a CMS/XEDIT
UPDATE file, but requires access to your comparands on MVS.

UPDCMS8 imposes less restriction on input than UPDMVS8.

For IMS it is both;  RACF SMF80 records and also IMS x'10' log records in
the IMS log.  IMS uses the RACROUTE option LOG=ASIS so the AUDIT and WARN
options are in effect as well.

Re: Help with APA - Application Performance Analyzer

2021-04-12 Thread Radoslaw Skorupka

As you noticed APA is separate product.
Yes, but it can be a part of software bundle named Application Delivery 
Foundation.


Few remarks:
1. Who installed the system? Is there any documentation? It should 
answer your question.
2. ServerPac materials describe content of the package - is there APA in 
any form?

3. Try to look for CAZ.** datasets.
4. Last, but it should be first: are you licensed to APA? Assuming yes 
you can have it or not. If not, it can be downloaded and installed.

Re: Help with APA - Application Performance Analyzer

2021-04-12 Thread Phil Smith III
This might be obvious, but if you can, you generally want to run APA on the
slowest system you own, because modern machines are too bloody fast: it can
have trouble identifying hotspots because it only goes to (I think) 100K
samples per second, and that's not enough. At least, that's what ISTR from
using it a few years ago-on then-current machines. Unless APA has increased
that granularity, this problem can only have gotten worse.

 

I've heard of people considering a zPDT just so they could have a SLOWER
system to test on-when was the last time you heard that?

I believe a caller of RACROUTE can specify LOG=NONE and do their own logging. 
Generally, Db2 authorization errors are not reported in SMF 80 by RACF but 
rather by Db2 in SMF 102 IFCID 140.

TeX and METAFONT were written in Knuth's web language,  something which
makes a good mathematician at ease and able to understand and describe
algorithms. Including typography algorithms but also indexing and
cross-referencing to. Web code is nice to read and understand.

Tangle and cweb is early translators for web to Pascal and C.

web2c is the current one used when building TeX itself.

I wouldn't compare M4 with WEB but WEB could be compared to AWK (or CL)

WEB requires a fairly good ability to abstract and not being chained to
imperative languages. 

Compare with ML (though that has a big root in DEC10.)

WEB has a streak of the same trait as COBOL was designed to have, the
possibility of reading the code in 4-8 years time and understanding why
things was done the way they were done at writting time.

WEB could also be compared with APL.

Re: More documentation problems

2021-04-12 Thread Martin Packer
Doesn't have to be a gaming mouse...

Logitech M720 has side buttons (one of which switches between 3 computers 
- a feature on the K780 keyboard, BTW). Mine are indeed mapped to forwards 
and backwards in Firefox. Seems to me, though, a double click is too fast 
for this UI problem - and requires different treatment for these pages 
than any others.

But "breaking the back button" is indeed a web UI no-no.

Cheers, Martin

Here's a life hack for people who are open to it -

Get a gaming mouse like this one (
https://www.logitechg.com/en-gb/products/gaming-mice/g402-hyperion-fury-fps-gaming-mouse.910-004068.html
 
) ..

.. and map the 2 pairs of up/down buttons to navigate back/forward and vol 
up/down respectively.
And the button on the side for mute. Extremely handy these days.

Or map it however you like basically.
