There is an APAR that provides a new setting (KCINDEX=N) that you use (after the first time you start zosmf), that keeps the i/o's down to a much more reasonable level. Our clients that have small single frame systems (z13s, z14-rz1), find that it cuts the startup time by almost 40%. The offi

@Kurt - thank you for the qualification - "...but z/OS software will continue to be serviced using PTFs and therefore using SMP/E". I hadn't read or heard that until now. Its good to hear that that is the case. Sean On Sat, 19 Oct 2019 at 00:49, Mark Zelden wrote: > z/OSMF can create an extract

z/OSMF can create an extract of the migration information (now called "upgrade" instead of "migration") from the z/OSMF workflow (either z/OS 2.2 to z/OS 2.4 or z/OS 2.3 to z/OS 2.4 - whichever one you import from GitHub or both). It's in HTML format and quite readable with links to the diffe

Does IBM plan to hand out zIIP engines for free to allow sites without access to them to run z/OSMF with reasonable performance? We have zIIPs, but just for the heck of it I tried starting z/OSMF on a non-zIIP LPAR. It took 8 hours to initialize, driving the (admittedly very small) LPAR at 100%
