Re: Silly linklist dataset question

There was a very recent discussion here (3/31/2022) with a response from Peter Relson of IBM that clarified the separation of LINKAUTH=LNKLST, PROGxx, and JOBLIB/STEPLIB.  My understanding from that and prior discussions is that the short answer is "No, as long as the module is actually

Re: [EXTERNAL] ATO gives itself two years to replace IBM mainframe

I knew it was one of those variable pricing schemes, couldn't remember which one. :-) The other half of the question is whether there is another government agency that uses a mainframe that has their peak at a different time of the year, where they could combine the workloads onto a single

Silly linklist dataset question

Datasets in our linklist are APF authorized via LINKAUTH=LNKLST. Is there any differences on how program fetch behaves if a dataset in the linklist is also APF authorized in PROGxx as far as modules being fetched from the linklist? The Ministry of Silly Questions thanks you in advance for your

TLS 1.3 support

For IBM, really: if we turn on the GSK flag that says "Enable TLSv1.3", and someone runs the cold on an older z/OS that doesn't support TLS 1.3, it won't throw an error, right? I'm pretty sure I remember this from previous TLS upgrades but wanted to be sure. If so, that's GOOD design, thank you!

Re: Use of zCX

It's pretty good (s390x linux software), but it seems to me that this is not without some friction: - OSS sometimes has compile paths that take advantage of x86 instructions for optimization, e.g. SSE. Nearly all of the time there is a C path, but that doesn't mean that the code will perform

Re: Use of zCX

I would mention as well that cross compiling from an x86 to generate s390x also works well. Today I use a MacBook Pro with the M1xPro (ARM) processor. The days of heavy porting are in almost every case I’ve seen a compile away and not a “porting” exercise. Matt Hogstrom m...@hogstrom.org

Re: Use of zCX

Matt agrees with you David. The only issue I’ve run into is sourcing some of the other software in a precompiled form. That said, Postgres for example, was strightforward to grab the source, build and package. Linux is what we had hoped back in the 90’s that Open Edition would have been :)
