Re: Bye all
I knew this day would come, and I internally have braced myself for it. Good luck with your future plans, and please don’t be a stranger! Heck, there’s always the emeritus SHARE rate.

Re: Bye all
Catching with the holidays and all. Mr Relson you are a true technician, architect and engineer. While at IBM I was in awe of your command of the knowledge and content that is z/OS. I appreciated you very much because of your love of the platform and your competence to make it better. Belatedly I would also acknowledge Gary Puchkoff’s contributions as well as because of the both of you the platform is powerful and fulfills the promise made 60+ years ago to preserve customer investment and engineering excellence. Well done sir, enjoy your time in retirement and I hope part of your retirement passion extends to continuing to educate, enrich and expand the platform as it seems to me that is part of your soul. Thanks for everything you’ve done over your long and distinguished career sir.

Peter, I can only echo all the others who saw your message earlier than I did – please go enjoy the rest of your life, and many, many thanks for all the knowledge and support you provided to us all.

Re: REXX and RESTAPI calls
Another example is REST using MQSeries in a stateless flow. 1. The content format is a black block, often a terse/Cobol/C structure, not XML or HTML 2. It is self contained, so if there is a business transaction in several parts( eg signon, query, take action) the request parts can go to any available server (which may be workload balanced). Each individual flow is self contained, there is no state saved in the back end server(s). For example your name and address may be sent in each flow. With a stateful transaction, the request has to go back to the same server to complete the work. The backend knows the status, so the data flow is just changes in state. Having to parse XML etc is relatively expensive, hence the advantages of terse/Cobol/C structure format when you are doing 1,000 transactions a second.

Re: Bye all
Just the other day, I benefited from Peter's technical prowess on an IBM-MAIN discussion from 2015. And this is far from the first time. Thank you, Peter, for your participation here. It made a big difference for us all. Enjoy your retirement but keep on giving us tips here when you can.
