HLASM *IS* needed to create a Production IODF from a source IOCP on z/VM. I think I see the point of confusion. IOCP does not use HLASM. However, if you want to take an existing IOCP deck and migrate to *HCD* (CBDSMIGR), then you will need HLASM, as it is used *by HCD* to create an initial IODF. Once migrated, or if you build your configuration manually in HCD, you don't need HLASM. That said, I recommend that you purchase a high-level assembler from IBM or Dignus. You never need one until it's Really Really Important. And you won't discover that until you have an emergency. But then it is too late. You also have to realize that required can be a misleading term. Example: ISPF is technically not *required* to run zSecure. Yeah, right. You *could* run that way, but who *would*?

z/VM Development has never used the Dignus assembler. TPF does, though. This is only sort of true. All official lab work is done using HLASM on Linux. There are some of us who have taken it upon ourselves to use it on a personal basis, but there is no TPF lab support for such use, either for internal use or in customer environments. Statements of satisfaction with the Dignus assembler, from myself or any other TPF developer, are strictly personal opinions and are not to be taken as implying support by either TPF or IBM. - mb Mark Boonie z/TPF Development

There seems to be a trend away from dependence on z/OS HCD processing for this functionality. People with z/OS use HCD on z/OS because that's what they know, and it's easy for them to do so. If the z/VM system is moved onto a z/VM-only CEC, then the decision of whether to use HCD/VM natively or to import/export from HCD/MVS comes up.

Re: APARs and PTFs for the z196
Disclaimer: I do not speak for IBM, this is only my understanding of these repeatedly discussed issues on this listserve. The IBM High Level Assembler is a separately orderable, and chargeable Licensed Program Product (meaning: it's not free, you must pay for it). Since it is NOT required, it is not shipped with z/VM. I'm guessing that IBM chooses to not ship it because Linux on System z customers are concerned about installing Linux guests and getting z/VM up and running, not messing with CP modifications. This way you don't pay for what you don't need. If you do not modify CP and some other parts of z/VM (and perhaps some other products such as VM/RACF?) you do not require HLASM to install, maintain, and run z/VM. All parts part of z/VM (e.g. most source code, but not all source code, TEXT decks, MODULE, etc. are shipped when z/VM is distributed. All parts serviced by IBM are shipped as part of the service stream (except for the licensed, and free Restricted Source; orderable through Resource Link - see the Program Directory for z/VM, chapter 2.3 Optional Machine-Readable Material). You don't need that either, unless you suffer from insomnia or are a died-in-the-blue bits and bytes techie. DIRMAINT, Performance Toolkit, VM/RACF, and (NJE parts of) RSCS are chargeable products which ARE shipped with z/VM. As I understand it, they are shipped with z/VM because many new Linux on System z customers will need a directory manager product, a performance monitor product, and perhaps a printing and inter-system communications product. If they are familiar with z/OS (a reasonable), they may already be quite familiar with RACF, and may not have experience evaluating competitive ISV products for those needs. Shipping potentially useful products saves new z/VM customers from having to order them as the need suddenly arises. But the customers are expected to read the doc, finding that use of those products requires a separate action to ENABLE them, and somewhere that they are chargeable - even though they arrived for free with z/VM. For years I've been asking IBM to provide very prominent and clear warnings in the manual describing the command to enable those products, and in the SYSTEM CONFIG file itself where a simple change enables a product one that one should rightly be paying for.

Re: APARs and PTFs for the z196
ty, Mike. I believe HLASM is also used for IOCP/IODF processing. Though such processing rarely happens now in the z/VM world, that may change in the future. And from some recent posts on the matter, it appears to already be happening. There seems to be a trend away from dependence on z/OS HCD processing for this functionality. So HLASM may indeed become a real practical reason, in the not too distant future, for having HLASM in z/VM, not for modifying source code per se, but for assembling IOCP source into production IODFs which can then be loaded statically and/or dynamically into the IOCDS. It kinda concerns me now where I am, even though we have no immediate plans to do any IOCP/IODF processing in z/VM, that we could not do so even if we wanted to, because we do not have HLASM. It is somewhat limiting. Don't fence me in . . .

Re: APARs and PTFs for the z196
All 14 z196 compatibility APARs listed below went on fine except for PK97799. SES says there is not service for this APAR. How can there be no service? IIRC, that's the APAR that adds the new z196 instructions to HLASM. Do you have HLASM installed on this system? If not, then all this message is telling you is that it (correctly) skipped applying service to a product you don't have. 8-)

But how to I confirm that I do not have HLASM on my z/VM system. Is there a SES command for that? All things have SES-nature. The question is whether the Buddha displays SES-nature or not. 8-) Check the VM Service manual under Software Inventory. There's a subsection on displaying what SES believes to be installed; can't dig up the exact command - brain full error. 8-)

OK, I went through this and was doing a lot of stuff all at the same time (not the best way to do it but sometimes you just gotta leap, besides the dev systems weren't dying so I figured I was somewhat safe). I put on RSU 5407 (1002) and also noted VM64798, VM64879, VM64774, UV6(EREP) as being significant to z196.

Re: APARs and PTFs for the z196
I thought VM64798, VM64879, and VM64881 were the only APARs needed for z196 compatibility for z/VM 5.4. You are 6.1 so maybe it is different. But if not, I better find out fast. The above lists the minimum CP APARs (for 5.4 and 6.1) required to apply prior to IPLing on a z196. Mike is listing CMS, PerfKit, and pre-requisite APARs. Since the above list was generated, CP APAR VM64891 should also be applied. Also, to add to Mike's pre-requisite list below, VM64818.

Re: APARs and PTFs for the z196
Well the list of z196 (alias 2817) compatibility APARs has grown. Here are all 14 now in alphanumeric order: PK97799 VM64656 VM64672 VM64747 VM64774 VM64793 VM64798 VM64799 VM64807 VM64818 VM64820 VM64879 VM64881 VM64891 btw: The only way I could find the page in the link Clovis supplied was by searching SHOPZ on 2817 the other name for a z196.

You are 6.1 so maybe it is different. But if not, I better find out fast. The above lists the minimum CP APARs (for 5.4 and 6.1) required to apply prior to IPLing on a z196. Mike is listing CMS, PerfKit, and pre-requisite APARs. Since the above list was generated, CP APAR VM64891 should also be applied. Also, to add to Mike's pre-requisite list below, VM64818.
