Re: Mandatory ESMs?
KRIS was working on some GUI for z/VM That's too much expectations. CMS GUI: was introduced in 1995/1996 (VM/ESA 2.4). TSO used the same software to replace the 3270 ISPF screens with GUI screens. The underlying thing is DT, Distributed Toolkit. The logic can run on system A, the presentation on system B. Was suppose no to be limited to VM and MVS, but also on Windows, OS/2, AIX, etc. Great idea, but too late, Java became the thing that runs everywhere. There was also a visual GUI builder, it was supposed to be able to create not only the GUI panels, but also the program's logic. The WSA GUI Builder program that can be found now only does the first part, and the Windows 95 version fails on modern Windows. The OS/2 version runs fine. I think I can indeed be called the CMS/GUI specialist: I was lucky to be able to participate in the creation of a CMS GUI redbook: SC24-2542. So I learned it and created subroutines to make using it easier from REXX. Later, as the WSA GUI Builder was stopped too, I created my GUIWIRE tool that helps to create the program logic. CMS GUI is no longer supported, and some pieces of it are no longer delivered with z/VM, and must be downloaded from VM's download library. But, if you do you can: - install and start the WSA on you workstation - issue SET WORKSTAT IP x.x.x.x - issue CMSDESK And you get some GUI for basic CMS usage. On the VM download lib, you can find various CMS/GUI tools I created, all in REXX, and -apart from CPQUERY- with GUI in their name. The only things I still work on every now and then are: - CPQUERY: when someone tells me about a bug - PTKGUI: a tool to make graphs of Perfkit Summary files, such as the %CP used and %CPU wait of a given user. But, PTKGUI is still not ready, maybe a beta version will go to the download lib the coming days. 2010/12/13 George Henke/NYLIC george_he...@newyorklife.com In our *stuck on GUI* discussion, I though it was said that KRIS was working on some GUI for z/VM, possibly CMS GUI? If so, maybe we can resurrect the CMS pig with some lipstick. *Edward M Martin emar...@aultman.com* Sent by: The IBM z/VM Operating System IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU 12/13/2010 04:50 PM Please respond to The IBM z/VM Operating System IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU To IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU cc Subject Re: Mandatory ESMs?

Re: Mandatory ESMs?
Kris: I don't understand why we cannot interface with JAVA on the client side with z/VM and CMS as the server side functionally equivalent to PHP or CGI or ASP, maybe even run PHP, CGI, and/or ASP on z/VM, CMS.. There is no magic in these things and with your expertise and the talent here it should be doable.

Kind of like the old time sharing services back in the '60s and '70s. It seems to me that it resurfaced with Linux development but I haven't heard anything about it in, at least, 5 years. Yes, it's offered by the Dallas Systems Center as part of the IBM Innovation Center, but it is open only to PartnerWorld members. If you are in the *business* of software development, IBM has programs to help you. I'm not aware of anything within IBM to address hobbyists' needs. There is an opportunity for others to fill that niche, but I think it's telling that no one has done so in a general way. Remember that the service provider has to pay licensing costs for the software on their system, including 2nd level z/OS guests. (There's no such thing as a free z/OS.) Further, they accept responsibility for YOUR use of the software, which triggers risk management. (Gotta read those license agreements carefully!) And even a niche provider has to break even on wetware, software, hardware, and environmentals.

Generating emails using MAILIT
I have installed MAILIT and it works great. I have a VM guest I send performance alerts to. Every time a new alert is sent to this guest, I would like to generate an email and send it with the alert message. Will it be possible to do this? Could someone please provide with an example that I could modify?

New messages from TCP/IP after going from z/VM 5.2 to 5.4
Greetings, We went from z/VM 5.2 to 5.4 (and TCP/IP for VM 520 to 540) at the end of November. I didn't notice it at first but I see that I am getting the following type extra messages on the spooled console for each of my TCP/IP stacks that I have: 04:09:23 DTCARP049I An ARP packet was received on link PCN3 with our IP address 142.101.99.196 as the source address. Possible con iguration error. 04:09:23 DTCARP007IArpHardwareType: 1 04:09:23 DTCARP008IArpProtocolType: 2048 04:09:23 DTCARP009IArpHardwareLen: 6 04:09:23 DTCARP010IArpProtocolLen: 4 04:09:23 DTCARP011IArpOp: 1 04:09:23 DTCARP012IArpSenderHardwareAddr: 000629DC21BE 04:09:23 DTCARP013IArpSenderInternetAddr: 142.101.99.196 04:09:23 DTCARP014IArpTargetHardwareAddr: 04:09:23 DTCARP015IArpTargetInternetAddr: 142.101.99.196 I had made no changes to any of my TCP/IP configuration files.
