Re: JES3 to JES2 Migration (was JES2 to JES3 Migration)

As someone already mentioned, the JECL is different. It shouldn't be hard to write code to translate. The other issue is the class structure. JES2 uses an one character class on the JOB card. JES3 used the class on the JOB card or an eight character class on the //*MAIN JECL statement. Ed

Re: JES3 to JES2 Migration (was JES2 to JES3 Migration)

We did a conversion 3 -> 2 many years ago, but it was more moving work from a Jes3 system to a Jes2 system, not converting an existing system from one to the other. It really depends on the complexity of the exploitation of the Jes3 constructs - How your Global/Local setup is, Do you depend on

Hi, a couple of other things to look at: (1) Verify that the volume is being selected for space management. As indicated, HSM doesn't process data sets on a volume unless the volume exceeds its high threshold. Once a volume is selected, HSM will process all eligible data sets on that volume

JES2 supports 8-character job class names as of z/OS 2.1, also explained in the Redbook I mentioned earlier today. I suggest to review that Redbook first, and then the latest SHARE Orlando presentations by Tom Wasik "What's new in z/OS 2.2 JES2". Conversion should be easier today than a few

JES3 to JES2 Migration

Cheryl- One of the larger issues with JES3 to JES2 migration efforts is the JCL changes needed to be converted. In what I call JES2 mode in JES3, the site is not necessarily using the good JES3 functionality, and has a lot of JCL left over from years gone by. One of the features in zOSEM is the

Re: Tape formats (was: Conversion ...)

Hard to say for sure. We kept them for a long while for interchange between smaller financial entities. Also, much of good graphics and plotters were on 'mini-computers' DEC, Varian, and TI. Here's a link to IBM's Archive. There's numerous links to storage related history and development.

Re: JES3 to JES2 Migration (was JES2 to JES3 Migration)

In a past life, a group of sysprogs entertained the idea of migrating as a cost savings measure. The JECL and JOB CLASS changes were the least of our worries. Exits could be written to translate and map. As others have pointed out, 8-character JES2 JOB classes may reduce the need for custom
