First time getting z/OS running under z/VM via vswitches. Think I'll have a beer to celebrate.
It's harder than it needs to be, and is certainly not made any easier by the complete lack of examples in the docs. Ho-hum.
@sparcipx Oh, and I caught the news about your new job. Not sure if congratulations or commiserations are in order (speaking as a fellow IT drone)
New wimax internet connection seems pretty decent. IPv6 too, so I guess I'll have to update my cobol gopher client...
I'm happy that IBM now packages up zips of their mainframe OS PDF docs, but still unhappy about two things:
1. It's not Bookmanager
2. The filenames. eg. 'MVS JCL Reference' is in the file 'ieab600'. Obviously.
@pkotrcka New instance?
Up at the crack of dawn, on the shinkansen to Niigata. My 4th consecutive year at the Sakenojin festival.
Today's new command - IMPORT CONNECT, from DFSMS Access Method Services for Catalogs. Connects a user catalog to the master catalog.
I'm moving a volume that was previously in use on another system to a different system, and it already contains a catalog for datasets on that volume.
Is it just me, or have I been seeing a lot of 'xxx on SDF is down' toots recently?
Hone senbei rule.
The most interesting thing about the docs stuff is that the original files are *still* online, for a commercial OS that went out-of-support 15 years ago.
