The question came up today as to whether z/VM 5.1 will run on a z196. I know
there are no 5.1 PTF's available for z196 support.
How about z/VM 5.4, will it run WITHOUT the z196 PTF's?...
Any guesses? or experiences?
As z/VM 5.1 was never tested on a z196 we cannot provide an outlook of
how it
I thought VM64798, VM64879, and VM64881 were the only APARs needed for
z196 compatibility for z/VM 5.4.

But if not, I better find out fast.

prior to IPLing on a z196. Mike is
I thought VM64879 was only for z/VM 6.1 and the other 2 were for z/VM5.4.

I'm in the process of building our z/VM 5.3 systems, and I think I'm down to
the last hurdle I can't get CSE to fire up across PVM. The message I'm
getting in PVM is:
DVMISG864E CSE is not authorized
The description of the message says that CSE is not available or not set up,
but, to the
Anybody out there using DS6800 with z/VM 5.2 or 5.3 . We are having problems
that anytime we update the software on DS6800, it takes out z/VM. There are
4 FICON channels. DS6800 disables 2 at a time as it does upgrade. VM can't
seem to cope with this ?
You should open a z/VM problem ticket with
I certainly am. It is time to ask the big question, WHY ME, GOD?
The files are anything from jobs being submitted to files being sent via
SENDFILE. There are no error messages, neither before nor after, on
either side of the link. As for recreation, all I have to do is to stop
the link and then
BTW, I have just opened an incident. We reproduce the problem by
starting the link. I cannot start the trace before the link is up;
hence, no trace.
Since I cannot get a FLUSH to work without stopping the link, I no of no
way to start the trace before a file is hung on the link.

You don't need DirMaint or ISPF for the RMS component of DFSMS. You do
need to put the control files in SFS, unless you're willing to modify
the code to use a minidisk. Some of the code is in REXX, but some
isn't, so I don't know if it's even possible to change it to use a
minidisk.

Gee Rich you certainly are encountering quite a few problems running
TCPNJE. So is this a file local to the VM system where RSCS is not
sending to the z/OS partner? in otherwords a locally originated file?
Or is it a file from another node passing through this one?
Are there any error messages
I've been searching for a tool to read the vm spool and ran across some
references to a SHOW tool but I've not been able to find a download site
for it.
If you have RSCS, you can use the spoolaid package to view spool files.
This package can be found on the install ID's 406 minidisk.

That is the postscript error handler RSCS sends by default prior to
the print job. Perhaps the printer doesn't like something about this
postscript program. This really is for handling of plain text files.
You can turn off this feature by using:
EPARM='EH=NO'
in the link parm statement.
