This week we have published APAR OA42614 and its PTF UA70033 to aid in recovering from infrequent ATF problems without the side effect of an IMS abend.  Implementing this new PTF does require a recycle of both the OMEGAMON started task as well as the IMS system itself. #zOS http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1OA42614 Want to get notified about updates such as this automatically?

Hello All, Here are some interesting enhancements to SA z/OS, shipped earlier this year: OA41251  Allow dedicated log streams for each subplex in the physical sysplex. This requirement came up on several occasions in the past. When looking at INGHIST data, only history information about work items processed on this subplex (SA plex) are visible. The data is no longer shared for the complete physical sysplex. This not only increases readability but is important for multi tenancy support. Joblog Monitoring has been enhanced to handle...

Hello. I am working as RACF Admin and Systems Programmer from last 25 years. Our actual Host is near to its end-of-life. But I don't like to lose contact with this environment. For this reason, I am searching for *free* similar resources available as a way to improve my knowledge of the diverse tools and subsystems (well-known and new) available in current IBM Mainframe Systems. I am not thinking in the usual IBM Courses nor in free resources inside DW, IBM itself, and so. I've read some time ago about some Prometric exams freely... [More]
