Question about source layout for HISTSUM file

2007-03-14 Thread Feller, Paul
I am trying to find some sort of source layout for the HISTSUM file. I was hoping to write a program to read the file and either write some reports or extract part of the data into another file. This is going to be done on a z/OS (for give me) system. We are currently running z/VM 5.1. >From t

We use PCs with 19 inch flat panel monitors. We run 4 "sessions" on each screen. The PCs are running IBM PCOMM under Windows-XP. They are all connect to OSA-ICC cards. At the local site we run one monitor per PC and at a remote site we are running two monitors per PC. Paul -Original Mes

We are running two IFLs. One on a z9 the other on a z990. With help from the LAN network team and using a VSWITCH on each IFL we can move a Linux around as needed. The users don't know it moved because the IP address does not change. All DASD can be accessed from either IFL. Paul Feller AIT

Up to now I have been using the "old" 3270 access. It always work fine for me. I have talked to other staff members who are using the web access. They all say the same thing. They have a problem with the search function in Service Information Search (SIS). Sometimes new is not always better.

I don't know if this will help. We are not running z/OS under z/VM. The MIH for all of our DASD is set to two minutes (DASD=02:00). Here is the JES2 info on the checkpoint. DORMANCY=(120,500) and HOLD=40. We are running with 6 z/OS lpars in the same JES2 MAS. Paul Feller AIT Mainframe Tech

Re: HSA size on Z9 BC

I'm not at the office so I can't check what the HSA size is for our two z9 boxes. I do know that it is close to 1.3 to 1.5 gig. The larger HSA size started with the z890 and z990 boxes. I agree with what was said about IBM taking customer storage for the HSA. It would be nice if IBM could find

We are running z/VM 5.1 with RSU0502 and some additional PTFs. Our VSWITCH setup is running okay. We run our Linux guest over the VSWITCH connections. They talk to both z/OS and other platforms with no issues. Here is what our QUERY VMLAN shows for maintenance level. QUERY VMLAN

Re: HSA size question

2006-08-16 Thread Feller, Paul
Be careful with how you define the MAXDEVS. It will have an effect on your ability to do dynamic IO gen changes. I agree that the HSA has gotten a lot bigger than it was. IBM's answer is it has to be bigger to support all the new stuff. Paul Feller AIT Mainframe Technical Support [EMAIL PRO
