2024-02-07 Thread Todd Burrell
All: I've been having a discussion with co-workers regarding how an SMS management class is processed. Let's say I create a dataset with a MC of NOEXP and the MC has expire non-usage set to 365. If I were to go back later (before 365 days passes) and change the MC to have expire non-usage set

NSM 5.2 on z/OS 2.4

2020-07-30 Thread Todd Burrell
We've been trying to get a good answer as to whether or not NDM 5.2 (and 6.0) are compatible with z/OS 2.4. Is anyone running NSM 5.2 on z/OS 2.4? We're working on getting 6.0 installed, but we'd like to know if anyone has seen any issues with 5.2 on z/OS 2.4?

Master cats as user cats on other systems - why?

2018-09-25 Thread Todd Burrell
I had a co-worker ask me today why we have all of our master catalogs as user cats on the other systems in the sysplex? Besides convenience I really had no answer as to why we had it setup this way? I've just always done it this way, but besides convenience of listing and updating catalogs

CA1 to RMM conversion

2017-10-25 Thread Todd Burrell
We're investigating what it would take to convert from CA1 to RMM. I've looked back through the archives and most of what I see is very dated, so I was going to see if anyone has any documentation they can send me to help with this? I thought there used to be a Redbook for this, but I cannot

CONSOLE command failing - what else to check?

2017-08-16 Thread Todd Burrell
