Re: D/R Code

We have two FLEX-ES systems on opposite ends of the campus. The DR system does not have as many tape drives as the production system. The production system has a drive at 0591 but the DR system does not. In the AUTOLOG1 DIRECT I haveDEDICATE 0591 0591 When AUTOLOG1 starts up it does a CP

Re: D/R Code

Hi, I believe CERN had an implementation of CP Global variables (perhaps some of Dick Newson's goodies?) A "CP SET VARIABLE" command would be very useful. Cheers, Arty On Thu, 4 Oct 2007 16:27:29 -0500 you said: >I always wanted a CP version of GLOBALV. The SET part would be privilege= >d=

Re: D/R Code

I always wanted a CP version of GLOBALV. The SET part would be privilege d of course, but the GET part would not be. That way you could set variables in CP that could be retrieved by any virtual machine, like I'm running a DR test, don't do that! -- Dale R. Smith "Answers are easy. It's a

It shouldn't be. It should "WTF?' Rexx is a mighty fine language in almost every way, but its treatment of case has been, iirc, the subject of some annoyance in previous discussions. (NB 1 Do I get the impression that work on mainframe REXX has practically ceased? Mooted new features have never

Hillgang to be rescheduled

All, Sorry for the last minute notice but due to some scheduling problems we're going to have to postpone the next Hillgang meeting. I'll be back with a new date as soon as I can. Neale

I thought that SET PRODUCT would be a bit more flexible than just the sin gle GATEWAY value that I am currently using. I also hope that IBM (Chuckie in particular) will not frown upon us using the SET PRODUCT commands for enabling/disabling customer functions. Maybe if the documentation (unoffi

Re: Simple Rexx question

Not sure why it works this but try TEMP = DATE('B','27 May 1996',) May vs MAY "Edward M. Martin"

Re: Simple Rexx question

The default for input in "N". That is MIXED case. TEMP=DATE('B','27 May 1996') will work. Note that is "May" and not "MAY". They are not the same! -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Tech

Please change 'MAY' to 'May'. say DATE('B','27 May 1996',) 728805 Doug Breneman z/VM Development IBM Endicott Thursday, October 04, 2007 12:01 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU cc: From: "Edward M. Martin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Simple Rexx question Hello Ever

Hello, Ray. If you already have the necessary infrastructure for FDR on z/OS installed (and it sounds like you do), then FDR Upstream for Linux works well. Mrohs, Ray wrote: No, we did nightly rsync copies of the Oracle database areas only, and then backed up the copies to tape. My curren

Re: D/R Code

The code I use is: /* Identify which system we're running on */ 'Pipe CP Q GATEWAY' , '| Specs word 2 1' , '| Var SYSNAME' Fairly concise and seems to cover most of the possibilities. We run a CSE complex from a single SYSRES, so the system IDs are vastly important. AUTOLOG1 checks, and performs

Re: CA VMBACKUP

No, we did nightly rsync copies of the Oracle database areas only, and then backed up the copies to tape. My current site has a heavy z/OS presence and they are using FDR. I'm looking into FDR/Upstream zLinux for file level backups. Does anyone have experience with that and their associated produ

Re: D/R Code

How about having the AUTOLOGx userid's PROFILE EXEC issue a 'CP QUERY USERID AUTOLOGx' command, parse the output for the system id you're running on, and test whether you're running on your normal system or another (disaster recovery) system and act accordingly.
