VSE/POWER 9.2
New Function for * $$ SLI to Delete AF Member after Successful Processing
* $$ SLI syntax now supports the new DEL=YES|NO operand. This provides the possibility to delete the AF member specified in the statement. The member is deleted after its successful reading by VSE/POWER in the course of * $$ SLI processing. For details refer to Format 1: Including a Member from a VSE/AF Sublibrary.
New Section about Auditing Changes of Queue Entries
Since VSE/POWER 8.2, four new messages allow auditing changes of queue entries done by VSE/POWER commands. This publication has been updated by adding the new section to aggregate the descriptions found at each queue manipulation command and to provide more details. Refer to Auditing Changes of Queue Entries Done by Queue Manipulation Commands.
XEM Support for Monitoring VSE/POWER Queues
The new XEM (eXtended Event Message) support is introduced for monitoring VSE/POWER queues by an application program. Before using this support, the partition layout for VSE/POWER should be reviewed, as described in Fixable- and Virtual-Storage Requirements. For details about XEM support, refer to VSE/POWER Application Programming publication.
Additional Improvements Implemented by Field APARs
- To make operations with the spooling entries more accurate, a new "end of spooling" time stamp is now added to the queue entry when VSE/POWER puts the spooling entry to the appropriate queue. This time stamp contains date and time of the spooling completion. Two new operands ENDDAYS and ENDAGE were added to VSE/POWER to manipulate the queue entries on the basis of this time stamp. To use this feature, make sure APAR DY47564 is installed for z/VSE® 5.2. For details, refer to PALTER: Alter Entry Attributes or Partition Classes, or Segment Output, PDELETE: Deleting Queue Entries or Messages, PDISPLAY: Displaying VSE/POWER Status, PHOLD: Placing Entries of Physical Queues into the Hold or Leave State, POFFLOAD SELECT, and PRELEASE: Removing Entries of Physical Queues from the Hold or Leave State.
- The new search operand CEXPMOM=NULL for queue manipulation commands selects all eligible queue entries with no expiration moment defined. For details, see the PALTER: Alter Entry Attributes or Partition Classes, or Segment Output, PDELETE: Deleting Queue Entries or Messages,PDISPLAY: Displaying VSE/POWER Status, PHOLD: Placing Entries of Physical Queues into the Hold or Leave State, and PRELEASE: Removing Entries of Physical Queues from the Hold or Leave State commands.
- The value for the RBF operand can now be specified from 1 to 9 digits. See specification of RBF for * $$ JOB: Marking the Start of a VSE/POWER Job, * $$ LST: Defining List-Output Attributes, * $$ PUN: Defining Punch-Output Attributes statements and for SET: Setting VSE/POWER Startup Control Values autostart statement.
- The new EXPMOM=KEEP preserves expiration moment during POFFLOAD LOAD|SELECT. For details, see POFFLOAD: Writing Queue Entries to Tape and Restoring command.
- POFFLOAD LOAD | SELECT shows now the number of loaded entries. For details, see POFFLOAD: Writing Queue Entries to Tape and Restoring command
- An owner can now be defined for the POFFLOAD Journal to enable access by SAS application. For details, see POFFLOAD: Writing Queue Entries to Tape and Restoring command.
