Use of ZIIPS

I am running Zowe on my zPDT system. The ZIIPS are running flat out ( with waits for ZIIPS) but the GCPs are pretty idle. Ive IIPHONORPRIORITY=YES which says use GCP if shortage of ZIIP. Is there anything else I should be looking at? Colin -

Re: VPS STC run as a batch job

No we have not added or deleted any printers since third quarter last year. LRS suggested we remove old printers definitions, for printers that no longer exist. After removing the dead definitions, VPS came up as a STC. "Confidentially doc, I am the wabbit." Bugs Bunny Sent with Proton M

One other interesting thing about the DLm tape attach option. You can actually attach a LTO tape drive to the dives and assign it a UCB and directly write to the drive. Doing this makes it just like a Tape drives attached to the system. This tape format is as expected from a Mainframe at

Hello ZOS SME's, I'm looking for anyone who is willing to share or point me to any code (REXX or Python preferred) that can read and report on contents of SMF Type 64 (VSAM Activity) running ZOS 2.5. We do not have access to MXG, but if you have native SAS code that can process that can work a

Since I am the z/OS system programmer, I can say with 99% confidence, nothing has changed. But I have learned the hard way, never say never. I did not make any parmlib or JES2 parm changes. As for the IPL, it was the scheduled monthly IPL (not my decision, that is way it has been for many, ma

I forgot to add, the VPS PROC has REGION=0M. The JES2 STC JOBCLASS has REGION=4M. When I ran VPS as a batch job, I had REGION=0M coded on my job statement. Does anyone know if the JES2 STC JOBCLASS REGION would override what is coded on the EXEC statement of a STC? I will dig around and see if

Re: VPS STC run as a batch job

The JCL statement REGION overrides the one defined at JOBCLASS. Do you have an IEFUSI exit? There may be differences related to REGION definition because of LSQA settings for JOB and STC. Best Regards Ituriel do Nascimento Neto z/OS System Programmer Em terça-feira, 28 de janeiro de 2025

Re: VPS STC run as a batch job

We have the default IEFUSI, compile date of 05/13/1990, and IBM's Application Performance Analyzer IEFUSI. I looked at SYS1.SAMPLIB(IEEUSI) and I do not think that code does anything different for a batch job vs. a STC. The SMFPRMxx parmlib member (and no it has not changed) has MEMLIMIT(8G).

Is the anything in the code sensitive to the extra jobstep TCB in a batch job? One or more parmlib datasets might be off the residence volumes. --  Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz http://mason.gmu.edu/~smetz3 עַם יִשְׂרָאֵל חַי נֵ֣צַח יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לֹ֥א יְשַׁקֵּ֖ר __
