VMUTIL is since ages no longer part of the base VM system; WAKEUP is, but the execs around it forming VMUTIL are no longer there. As about the midnight problem: I try to explain the issue in documentation of RxServer (RxServer can be used to create a functionrich VMUTIL server). As to close

SAVEFD is not about speed of access to data on the CMS minidisk, it's about saving real storage: - without SAVEFD each user accessing a common minidisk has his own copy of the file directory - with SAVEFD all users accessing that common minidisk share a common copy. Since file directory

Wasn't it CMS Utilities Feature (CUF)? I guess I am spoiled. KWAKEUP has been available everywhere I have worked since my Amdahl days. I have never used WAKEUP. In addition to setting variables for the trigger event, KWAKEUP does not have the problem crossing midnight that is in WAKEUP.

Why don't I see HCP403I messages?

Occasionally our DASD chooses to issue service messages (SIM) to tell us about incidents that have occurred within the DASD subsystem. On z/OS, we get IEA480E messages. On z/VM, we'd expect to receive HCP403I, but we've not been able to find them. We'd assume they'd be going to OPERATOR but

1) What z/VM release and maintenance level? 2) Are you running PROP or some other PRO-like program (e.g CA's VM:Operator, or IBM's z/VM Operations manager for z/VM) to filter some or all HCP messages? We've received occasional HCPERP403I messages on z/VM 5.4 and z/VM 5.1 (upgraded to z/VM 5.4

We think we may have found the cause. It seems that one of our DASD subsystems is producing the message, but the other is not. So our storage lackey is checking with EMC as he seems to recall that there's a setting that needs to be enabled. Thanks much, Leland On Fri, May 7, 2010 at 3:54 PM,
