Re: Concurrent Oracle patch availability for System z along with distributed?

2012-01-04 Thread Damian Gallagher
I was tempted to delay release of this post until it's second birthday :-) My previous answer is below. The update since then is that: a) 11.2 patchsets are full product releases, so there's a lot more to port and QA than before. b) This applies to all platforms, not just s390x - x86 is ready

I have built THE from source many times. You are welcome to my pre-built binaries. They were built with relocation similar to how AIX organizes packages and will not collide with vendor or distributor package management. For maximum flexibility (to avoid colliding with distro managed packages),

I hope everyone had a safe and happy one Holiday Season. I need some guidance, advice and/or ammunition on an issue that has come up regarding mainframe configuration.   I have found myself having to defend the way we are now configured  vs. a co-worker who has come back from class saying his

Is there a way to get a list of packages installed by date? I've installed something with Yast, and it's broken the Software Management function. Now when I select Software Management, I get the screen where you enter what it is you want to search for, Select Accept, and it goes back to Yast

In my experience, it is Linux that interferes with zVSE G, but that is only in a scarce memory configuration. Consider that zVSE workloads really don't change the amount of memory needed, month to month. However, add a Websphere Linux image (take any large to you linux application), and add it to
