Re: Question about memory usage under z/OS 2.2

Unless your site is exceptionally large, it is more likely that you have some other sort of problem that is manifesting itself as memory related. We maintain a lot of sites and we have our software running at hundreds of others and I have never heard anyone complain that they are experiencing m

If you were running close to the limit prior to upgrade to z/OS V2.2 without realising it you may just need to review some settings. CSM with D NET,CSM and SYS1.PARMLIB(IVTPRM00) are a good place to start. You may need to look at this if you've added IP interfaces or turned on multiple OSA queu

Hi Peter, yes I am aware of that, but we also have hang conditions, where the jobs are not out of memory and it might help in those situations. Many of this situation occur when unix system services are in the game. Thanks. -Original Message- From: Peter Relson To: IBM-MAIN Sent:

I think there's at best a great deal of "faulty memory" here. Something was nagging, so I just did a bit of research. COMMAND.COM in the late 80s was way smaller than 65K. Remembering that a backup copy has been saved, what did the clever PC expert do? Deleted the backup, and copied COMMAND.COM
