I am trying to increase the SQA and ESQA values. So trying to understand if

I tend to agree about the tech writers "having lost their way".
I wish they'd quit messing with "the tool formerly known as Knowledge Center",
because every time they revamp it, they make it WORSE, not better.
It did used to be simple. A reference manual ought to show every possible

Short answer, yes. If you cross a boundary your private/extended private region
will lose what's given to SQA/ESQA.

For what it's worth, literally decades ago I changed all my default logmodes to
D4x3290 and never looked back. It will fall back to 24x80 if there's an
issue, which works on all emulated 3270s. Granted, this was on z/VM, which had
native non-SNA 3720 support long before it ever had VCNA or VT
Amazon Web Services is down. I can’t get to my pictures. Glad we don’t have our
mainframe running there.

In my frustration - I misspoke. It was a ServerPac order.
It was our Second ServerPac order (in late August). Our first order did not
build a product correctly in our June order.
Here is the order info from our currently installed ServerPac (customer name

Oh, but they advertise that they can replace mainframe. Well, maybe the
processing. But not the on site reliability. Of course, for WFH, the
internet is the week point. And, most likely, also the home equipment. I

Oh, but they adve
z/VM? Shirley you mean VM/370, long before z/VM. VCNA was long dead when z/VM
cam along.
BTW, how were your D4x3290 different from D4x32XX3? Also, didn't you have
custom logmodes for 43x80 primary?

Google for "task oriented documentation", AKA "trash oriented documentation",

Yes, reference manuals should be complete and use cases should be in the users'

special cases. It should be easy to find the explana
Tnanks for the research. It is a perfect match to what happened.
I have just finished our first wave of RSU*, SECINT, and SMCCOR PTFs (224 in
total). It had the correcting Java level. I then jumped the queue and
applied it to our running test system. It resolved our problem as expected.
Not at anybody in particular:
Do we have to make snide remarks because someone else had an outage?
Don't we remember the times when things on the mainframe itself went south?
Has every site's MF env. been 100% available through all these decades?
Is it wrong to fail sometimes?
Is this the attitude

AWS had a larger & longer outage today, than all the outages on the mainframes
I’ve worked on in the last 30 years. Much worse. Yet, some here think AWS is
going to replace the mainframe for critical applications like banking, health

Different strokes for different folks. AWS's failure is not a mainframe success.
