Episode 4 was, of course, our fifth podcast episode. 🙂
I had a lot of fun making the intro – with Audacity. I’m not sure if it’s “lost souls” or “tuning in”. It was meant to be the latter but the former is also good.
Below are the show notes.
The series is here.
Episode 4 is here.
Episode 4 “The Road To Munich” Show Notes
Here are the show notes for Episode 4 “The Road To Munich”. Here is the link back to all episodes: Mainframe, Performance, Topics episodes.
The show is called “The Road To Munich” partly in homage to the Road To… movies and partly because we’re preparing for the 2016 IBM z Systems Technical University, 13 – 17 June, Munich, Germany.
Follow Up
Following up the Episode 3 “Topics” item on iThoughts and Mind Mapping, Martin wrote up how to make a (colour-coded) legend in iThoughts The Legend on his blog.
Mainframe
Our “Mainframe” topic was on a small z/OS V2.1 enhancement that few seem to be using: SMFPRMxx’s AUTHSETSMS. This new option controls whether you want to allow use of the SETSMS command, different from the SET SMS command, without tying it anymore to the specification of PROMPT. Exploiting this function is as easy as adding AUTSETSMS to your SMFPRMxx for the next IPL!
Performance
Our “Performance” item was a discussion on another of Martin’s “2016 Conference Season” presentations: “He Picks On CICS”.
We’ll publish a link to the slides when they hit Slideshare, probably after the 2016 IBM z Systems Technical University, 13 – 17 June, Munich, Germany.
Topics
Under “Topics” we discussed Uncharted 4. The Wikipedia entry is here.
On The Blog
Martin posted to his blog, in addition to the previously-mentioned item:
- Shared Coupling Facility CPU And DYNDISP
- Refactoring ISPF File Tailoring And DFSORT
- More Fun With DDF
