The following changes are made for z/OS Version 2 Release
1 (V2R1) as updated March 2014.
New
- The topic, Diagnosing problems in a switched fabric, provides
guidance for problem determination.
- In MVS commands, RACF access authorities, and resource names, the SETGRS CNS command
also requires CONTROL access to the MVS.SETGRS.GRS resource in the
OPERCMDS class.
- A note about command format has been added to the "Syntax" topics
of the DISPLAY GTZ and SETGTZ commands.
- Information about the PWT parameter is added
to the SETOMVS command.
- In Starting a system task from a console, guidance has been added to
the description of the SUB=subsystemname parameter
about not specifying SUB=MSTR unless a program specifically
supports it.
- The VARY SMS,…,SPACE command allows you
to update space statistics in the ACDS for a pool storage group or
a DASD volume. For details, see Updating space statistics for volumes in the SMS configuration.
- Various
new and changed topics document support for the new XCF Note Pad Service
function. The XCF Note Pad Service is a new application programming
interface that allows programs to manipulate notes in an XCF note
pad. A note pad is an abstraction layered on top of the existing coupling
facility list structure interfaces. You can use the new IXCNOTE macro
to manipulate data in a coupling facility list structure, provided
the note pad abstraction meets the needs of the application.
