Have you done any internet searches on the S00C abend? Have you contacted the group/vendor that supports this STC for the S00C? Usually if it is a Vendor supported product, they can provide insight on this type of error or what kind of Slip trap they need. If you could post the Summary Dump f

Relationship between WLM and wlm-managed Initiators

I haven't dealt with this in this detail for some time. It is important for some work at hand that I do have to correct understanding. Please advise me where I'm wrong. Neglecting system affinity and scheduling environments for the time being. These may further restrict where jobs may run. Bu

Re: Delete part of spool for active job

There are a couple of options, If the JCL has coded on the SYSOUT FREE=CLOSE,SPIN=UNALLOC then you can purge just that portion of the job without impacting anything else. You can use SDSF (if you have that) and change the one DD statement that has the huge spool output to a different class (There

Delete part of spool for active job

If a job is running and putting out many lines of spool - maybe there was an over active programmer that printed all details of every customer in a multimillion line file - is there a way of deleting the lines that have been written to the spool ? Or do I have to purge the job ? Hilary Hurwitz

AW: Re: S00C Slip trap for any Stc

SLIPs always apply for any address space initially. The filter keywords you set, e.g. JOBNAME, then decide if the action is to be taken for the current case. Beware of coding a slip without filters and ACTION other than IGONRE. The event your're trapping might occur during normal processing else

What CPU capacity does WLM look at when deciding to start more batch initiators?

This is about WLM managed initiator management. In "System Programmer's Guide to: Workload Manager", I read that independent of the goals set, WLM might start additional initiators if jobs are waiting in the input queue. WLM will consider "available CPU and memory" in its decision if and on whic
