I'm a huge fan of thin interrupts, which (it turns out) we depend totally on to power our sandbox sysplex. However, we turn on thin interrupts on both sides of the share: sandbox and production. In the prospective case (single CEC only), the 'other side' of the share would be MVS, which has no notion of CFCC. It would be playtime for two toddlers, one well-schooled in sharing, the other clueless. An interesting prospect in any case.
BTW Tom's sig line induced me to curl up for a while with Wikipedia. We in the Southern 48 were never properly introduced to the Dead Dog Café. . .

It does not require an ICF engine. Normally I would not recommend the use of a CP, but if you are careful not to use the CF a lot, and use DYNDISP=thin, it can be quite useful. If all the connectors to the CF are in the same CEC, then there is no real CF link hardware required. Connecting multiple CECs will require purchasing hardware CF links. G. Tom Russell “Stay calm.

It has only one CP except when CBU is fired up. No data host at all under normal circumstances. As modestly priced as a CF might be, I don't think we could sell the idea just for the benefit of sysprogs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
