Even if you could find a drive, I'm not sure the media would be readable, 5,10 years tops, 1600 bpi , you may have better luck than 6250. has the tape(media) been in a controlled environment the entire time? and even if it has. I'd be curious if you can... good luck ! Carmen -

Tommy, This is not a science, but an art. So it takes time and study and adjustments to get WLM where you want it. The first phase is understanding how WLM works. This written up in many manuals. It is not quick to learn. If you have a sandbox where you can work things out, that would be

Re: Job await main select and cannot execution

You are describing what appears to be on the surface, normal WLM behavior. You should note that XEQCOUNT is a max allowed, not a minimum. Possible reasons for WLM not starting additional jobs/initiators: 1) XEQCOUNT is a maximum and is enforced by JES, not WLM and is thus irrelevant to

If you're running z/OS 2.2 (maybe 2.1 as well) there's an JES2/WLM APAR that might be of interest. I don't have its number now, but you might find it in some discussions on this forum. Lucas On Oct 6, 2017 12:22, "Tommy Tsui" wrote: > Hi all, > We are running in wlm mode
