Yes, but AFTER July 10th, you can no longer do that. What good will that do for people who don't install until after that date, or that want to install the next release when it comes out? Brian On Thu, 19 May 2022 07:50:33 +, Timothy Sipples wrote: >Mike Schwab asked: >>Doesn't IBM

Since z/OSMF is written in java, then why can't that high-CPU work run on another platform such as Power or x86, and then communicate with the mainframe for the z/OS work (i.e. submit jobs or whatever it does to run the actual installation). Or am I thinking too far out of the box? On

Thanks for the history and a definitive word on BLSR. From your (and others') remarks, it seems obvious that BLSR has been supereceded by SMB. So why not just implement SMB? Doesn't SMB only work if the clusters whose buffers you want to manage are defined as extended format? In contrast, BLSR
