Re: GETMAIN/FREEMAIN and virtual storage backing up

OS/360 was a real storage only operating system. DAT was introduced with S/370. OS/390 could run on that hardware but not use DAT (and other new hardware facilites). DAT was introduced on 360/67 ... basically 360/65 with dynamic address translation ... at least in its single processor version

Hi all, I have performed several conversions to CA-Allocate these include STOP X37 and DIF (from DTS). It is not always an easy conversion. The first thing you must know about CA-Allocate is that it uses program code like ACS routines, it is not just table driven. On the other had the language is

Hi Bruce, Thanks for that. I tried the procedure which was described in the post. It worked! It was easier to find the name of the catalog using the call to SVC26 rather than having to do a listcat on all the catalogs. Though, I must admit I didn't understand much of the remaining output that

OTOH, there's considerable utility in knowing when it's lunchtime, etc., in other localities because that's a bad time to attempt a phone call. One of our offices which does considerable global conferencing has a half dozen clocks on the wall, displaying the time at our other major offices

John, What sort of data rate do you see just copying this file to another using TSO COPY or IEBGENER, for example? That would give you an idea of what your disk subsystem was capable of. Considering the TCPIP and FTP protocol overhead, 40 MB/sec doesn't sound too bad. I have also had customers

Dumping SMF directly to TAPE

2007-10-06 Thread George Dranes
I have our SMF dump jobs dumping directly to a tape dataset with LRECL=32760 and BLKKSIZE=32760,RECFM=VBS. Fortunately we are small enough to dump SMF once a day so there are no speed issues not dumping to DASD (saves a lot of dasd). I was just curious if this a a sound way of handling SMF?

Mark, Never thought about just doing a copy to see what we would get. When doing the ftp's invloving z/OS the CPU utlization was under 40% busy, using 1/2 track blocking, and binary transfers (no EBCDIC to ASCII overhead). Doing the transfers between Linux images the only thing running was

Actually our SMF dump job dumps to a daily tape which in the next step is mod on to a weekly tape using IEBGENER (actually ICEGENER in our case). This weekly tape is then concatenated to a monthly tape once a week. I keep multiple generations of the daily and weekly files so I can easily
