That is very odd. The same VM guest starts up fine on an EC12 and newer, but anything older than that fails.  z/VM and z/OS are both at the latest release level with all current maintenance. Now I'm curious what the secret sauce is to make that work. --- Jim Stefanik Dallas Vintage Computin

Well, I can say that it is not true on z/os2.2 Even after the task that issued the SHAREMEMOBJ terminates, the address space has access to the memory object. Are there PTFs involved at which point s/OS2.2 behavior changed? On Fri, 5 Apr 2019 12:42:34 -0500 Steven Partlow wrote: :>Somehow I lo

Not that I know of, but it's a tiny assembler program to do it, and I have another tiny REXX program to invoke it, so it's friendly with TSO, as well. Then it would be executing the TMP in JCL with a one-line sysin. If you want it, I will be happy to share. Doubtless, others here have better

Well, crap! Never even occurred to me, and I've used the send command to issue messages to the console. Unbelievable, a WTO is a WTO, after all. If it makes me look less idiotic, I also have versions for highlighted messages and WTORs. Can't do that with send. (I hope. :)) First Tennessee

It used to be, most of a single CICS region other than some DB2-related work was single threaded.  Don't know if that has improved in the last five years, but am sure there must still be significant parts of CICS that are single thread.   The only way to give more CPU to a CICS that was CPU-constra

I don't know for sure, but I imagine the TMP is more efficient than forking into an OMVS address space. I suspect ITschak's method is the best. Don't know if there are any other things to consider though . . . case, message length . . . . First Tennessee Bank Mainframe Technical Support ---

Not knowing your shop, have you checked to see if you already have tools that will do this? For example, if you want a WTO to indicate a job has done something, if you have automation tools (like CA OPS/MVS) or a scheduler tool (like IBM Tivoli Scheduler) then they may already be able to provi

Well, Tell me what you want dumped and I'll get it to you. All of the sites are merely waiting for their new hardware to be delivered and since all of them were already running z/VM I installed from their z/OS 1.13 client machine (one was z/OS 1.10) and they all came up fine on the first try.
