Re: What is NETWORK STATION MANAGER?

2008-02-18 Thread Kris Buelens
I guess it is VM's support for the Network Station, an IBM attempt to
provide a cheap thin client to as opposed to PCs.
The PTF dates match: in 1998 I was part of the Java and NetRexx VM
Redbook team (SG24-5148) and we used a Network Station as terminal.
It hung several times per day and had to be rebooted.  The Unix based
code was then downloaded from VM.

Re: Any Rumors?

I think the answer is you contact your IBM represenative. Of course, if 

IBM is trying to limit attendance, there may be limitations on who can 

attend (perhaps only managers, for example) so they may not be able to 

invite you.

2) borrow a very power industrial grade magnet (must

Do you guys have better suggesions?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hello Roland,

If you are going to re-sell them, then 1 is the best.  If you
want to ensure that no one will ever see the data and you are not going
to re-sell them use 2 and 3 and shred them.

Take a look at the archives.  Lots of people have talked about
what needs to be done.

What level are you required?

Subject: Re: z/OS 1.7 under VM 4.4

1) z/OS 1.7 runs as VM guest machine under z/VM 4.4.
2) 2066 does not support ZAAP procesors (the processors for Java code).
3) So, z/VM 4.4 does not emulate ZAAP processors.
4) z/OS 1.7 comes with HCD version that does not support 2066. So, be 
sure to maintain IOCDS with HCD from z/OS 1.5 or lower.


Hope this help.
