I think I agree with Ted. Particularly since the POP must support OSes other
than z/OS, even standalone code written by a customer.
And not every OS is expected to provide a
programming interface for every facility of the hardware.
Thank you, Gil.
But, it really comes down to Can you justify
Sorry, I meant to say Paul.
But, I continue to remember 'gilmap'.

Mark,
The follow on from Sysplex timers is Server Time Protocol. It is
microcode on the processors and uses the HMC. It isn't free however.
Search the Redbook Library (there are 2 volumes, perhaps three) on the

And I have a feeling that CTCs aren't sufficient - I think you need
coupling links.
But I've never implemented it, so check the doco as Alan mentioned.

We will be starting this process next month. Our monthly SMF tape is produced
on the 2nd day of the next month already, so all days of the previous month are

The cost saving dictate changing your business collection process. keep in mind

Yep, you definitely need Coupling Links. And the STP feature is a priced
one, about the same (perhaps slightly less) than the Timer.
The redbooks Shane mentioned are the go. There's quite a bit to it.
