"I just found a coupling facility structure of type Serialized List. aka SERLIST aka SLIST. Is it documented anywhere?
The only documentation which mention serlist is ...z/TPF manual. I browsed z/OS doco, up to V2R5, but only found good old lock, cache and list. No serlist" A serialized list is simply a list structure with an associated lock table. It allows the exploiting application to serialize list operations. It is discussed in z/OS MVS Setting Up a Sysplex chapter "Using List Services (IXLLIST)", section "List Structure Concepts" -> "Understanding the Serialized List Structure" and in the sections of that publication that describe the various IXLLIST (IXLLSTE / IXLLSTM / IXLLSTC) request options.
