A few ideas (and perfectly willing to be slapped down by others more knowledgeable than I): 1) Isn't MQS designed to do just this sort of thing? I gather it works across platforms of many types. 2) If you're in a roll-your-own mood, you could easily enough write a socket client/server in

Was wondering when the B-word would be dropped... for me to then ask... is this a case for something like Raft consesus protocol? I'm talking only theory-wise. As far as solving the OP's problem, it may be a bit of a tangential thought. - KB ‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐ On Thursday,

We have global data pointed to by a name-token that is available to all the address spaces in each computer system. But this is problematic since the required SVC (34) requires that the program be authorized. FWIW, the program already had to be authorized in order to obtain "global

I hate to make this more complicated, but if (all of) the LPARs are not connected via a plex or CTC's, then you can't use some of these suggestions. The reason DASD was used originally with a lot of old time software (think Checkpoint datasets) was because it was available to ALL of the LPARs

Steff, it's not so simple to understand the scenario and the goal you need to achieve in terms of "response time and certainness" of the result. There're different ways, Sysplex Services (other guys already mentioned) or developing a STC that runs on every LPAR listening to IP stack. The problem
