Re: Schedule automation solution

Peter, I concur with the other posters' advice to get/use a proper job scheduler. However, if for some strange reason you don't have a scheduler and cannot get one, then simply upgrade to z/OS 2.3. z/OS 2.3 introduced a new JES2 feature to send an e-mail upon job completion. It's possible to use

Re: change data capture for VSAM

Rex, You can take that classic approach of capturing VSAM updates, pushing the data elsewhere, and then running analytics/reporting or whatever else you're doing. IBM InfoSphere Classic Change Data Capture for z/OS (5655-IM5), as a notable example, would help you do that. However, we're all learn

Re: change data capture for VSAM

Rex We have spent a lot of time looking into this. We are doing both VSAM and DB2 capture. The problem with VSAM capture is that there is no one, easy way to get VSAM change data. When the file is open to CICS, many of the products use CICS facilities to grab the change data, and pump it in

BMC's Control/M & Control/R can detect batch failures and also sends email notifications. With Control-R, it is also possible to predefine the restart or recovery steps such as restore or restart at certain steps...once the problem has been addressed. But I'm sure that there is a sizeable inve

I'm not sure CDC can do VSAM, I know they can do DB2, SQL, and maybe Oracle, DB's, I've worked with our DBA's on a POC for an Oracle solution and the IBM CDC solution, currently there's only 1 or 2 others that come to mind, 1) SQDATA, not sure if it can do VSAM, native VSAM is what I'm assuming

Hi Dave, That in essence is what we're doing right now for batch without any vendor product. It's what we're trying to get away from. We're being squeezed on the back end of the batch cycle by the warehouse update requirements and are trying to find a way to actually grab and push the updates

Hi Elardus, We have bounced around the idea of modifying the applications to write MQ records at the same time as the VSAM updates but that would be way too time consuming. We are currently doing was/is comparisons of some of our VSAM and are trying to get away from that. Of the two products

Re: Software Delivery on Tape to be Discontinued

Long before IBM talked about the end of tape delivery, we stopped accepting any physical media whatever--even doc. The reason was rooted in legal classification of software for tax purposes. In order to be extra careful, we eschewed not only tape/DVD for software itself, but also for any support

We have had DVD-based delivery 2011 for z/OS platform PTFs and products. So, we're not quite 20 years behind z/VM (smile). Also, it's not that writing a *different* format would be that difficult, but that *adding* a format would be nontrivial. That requires ordering and process options to b
