I tried two. A 23R so the rack mount model with a token ring interface, and a 
64R so table top with Ethernet interface.
But both running the same microcode...

Network Configuration Assistant Online Course and Badge

2020-01-10 Thread Xiao Xia X Mao
Hello list,

I am Alicia, content designer for IBM Configuration Assistant for z/OS 
Communications Server. IBM Configuration Assistant for z/OS Communications 
Server, also known as Network Configuration Assistant or NCA, provides a 
guided interface to help you create and manage TCP/IP profiles, and 
simplify configuration of TCP/IP policy-based networking functions. You 
can import your existing TCP/IP profiles into the NCA. This function 
eliminates the need to recreate your TCP/IP configuration by hand in the 
NCA, giving you an accurate representation of your existing configuration 
within the NCA GUI and enabling you to begin working with your existing 
configuration right away.

Recently, my team created an online course about TCP/IP profile 
configuration with the NCA. After completing this course, you will be able 
to use the NCA to create and manage TCP/IP profiles, including import of 
existing profiles, dynamic reconfiguration of running stacks, and 
configuration for disaster recovery and planned outages.  If you pass the 
final assessment of this course, you will earn an IBM Open Badge (
http://ibm.biz/NCAbadge). With IBM open badges, you can easily and quickly 
share verified proof of your achievements both within IBM and externally.
 
Course Link: http://ibm.biz/NCATCPIPcourse
Estimated Time: 3 hours and 30 minutes

Thanks,
Alicia Mao

Re: z15 System Recover Boost

We have it running on our z15 and  added shutdown boost to  our automation . I 
followed this white paper to have it set up. Since it is included in z15 I 
can't see any reason not to use it. We have not measured if it helps ipl and 
shutdown but it works without problems and that is good.

All, 
Just to be a little clearer about those HW feature codes...  

For SRB, what are no extra charge z15 HW functions (there is no priced SRB 
feature in z/OS V2.3 or V2.4!): Sub-capacity to full-capacity boost for CPs,  
zIIP boost that use a client’s entitled zIIPs, and GDPS scripting and firmware 
enhancements (if you are a GDPS customer).

For SRB *if* you decide you want it, as priced z15 HW features (9930 and 6802, 
fairly newly renamed): a priced activation of extra zIIP capacity for boost 
usage.

The ODBC driver runs on the client machine, not the host. The host

First, "Fifth" & "Third" are ordinal numbers in this context, not
denominators.  The slash in the logo is merely to distinguish it from
"fifty-three".  Second, since that looks like an (improper) fraction, some
play on numbers came into use.  And no one expected it to be subjected to
meticulous scrutiny.

Charles Mills' comment on engineers' humor is starting to sound more
sarcastic than I first thought ;-).

Fifth is 1/5, Third is 1/3,
Fifth Third might be expressed as 1/5 1/3.
Maybe abbreviate to /5 /3 assuming the 1.
Improperly drop the first / to get the 5/3.

Re: TN3270 from 3174 -ExSel Problem

2020-01-10 Thread Dave Wade

It turns out its more the terminal that is the issue. The Memorex Telex can be 
configured with an Emulated or Native mode keyboard. In Emulated Mode ExSel 
does not work. It turns out there are two setup modes for the terminal 
"on-line" which is entered by holding "space" down at switch-on.

Now its set to "native mode" it works just fine. 

However on the other terminal I can't see how to get into off-line setup mode 
to change the settings. I have tried holding down several keys at startup, but 
I just get the on-line setup mode Its a "Nokia Alfaskop 472" so if any one has 
a page from the manual that would be nice.

Hi Steve,

Kristine Harper created that video some years ago.

Hope you're doing well.

Of course one of the things that makes it amusing is that all highly 
skilled teckies get irritated by people that are too dumb to realize 
they are dumb.


If you continue watching to the end of the video, the next video that 
was selected by YouTube is a serious history of the mainframe "Big Iron: 
The Mainframe Story".

As an AI-type exercise then I guess it is fairly amusing. As far as 
illuminating the mainframe/white box rivalry -- not so much.

AW: TN3270 from 3174 -ExSel Problem

2020-01-10 Thread Mike Beer
HI,
Found that for Alfaskop 41:
http://storage.datormuseum.se/u/96935524/Datormusuem/Alfaskop/Alfaskop_System_41_Terminal_Console_Functions_and_Customizing_Instructions_IBM_3270_Emulation.pdf

http://www.datormuseum.se/peripherals/terminals/alfaskop

Interesting story:
Beginning in the late sixties continuing in late nineties there were 
development of IBM compatible terminal system under the brand Alfaskop. At the 
beginning the terminals were compatible with the IBM 2260, but the later models 
were 3270 compaible. The System 41 depicted above were actually an entire 
system that could either run various terminal emulation software or a be used 
as a personal computer running UCSD p-System.

The development took placed under many different companies ownership. It 
started in ITT owned SRT (Standard Radio och Telefon) and then transfered into 
Stansaab onto Datasaab, which then was bought by Ericsson. Ericsson sold the 
division to Nokia that sold it to ICL and then it ended up with computer 
terminal manufacturer Wyse who closed down operation in 1998.

Best regards
Mike

It turns out its more the terminal that is the issue. The Memorex Telex can be 
configured with an Emulated or Native mode keyboard. In Emulated Mode ExSel 
does not work. It turns out there are two setup modes for the terminal 
"on-line" which is entered by holding "space" down at switch-on.

Now its set to "native mode" it works just fine. 

However on the other terminal I can't see how to get into off-line setup mode 
to change the settings. I have tried holding down several keys at startup, but 
I just get the on-line setup mode Its a "Nokia Alfaskop 472" so if any one has 
a page from the manual that would be nice.
